Social Studies

The students are working with Aboriginal artifacts to study their culture, identity and how the artifact would differ from the Aboriginal culture to ours.  They are first recording their predictions using ipads and then will research the artifacts.

Remembrance Day

Reminder: There is no school Monday or Tuesday

The students performed beautifully today!  Great job:)

We have also been reading through newspapers, creating art and writing to veterans leading up to Remembrance day.  

The newspapers and bookmarks were sent home if you would like to reflect on them together on November 11th.

Remembrance Day

Grade 4's are performing in the assembly tomorrow.  Please remember to wear dark/black pants and a white or light top.  Everyone will also get poppies to wear.

If you would like to donate to the veterans you can bring in a twoonie for your poppy.

If you would like to bring in a picture of a relative who is a veteran we would love to add it to our display in the front hall.

Fort Calgary Field Trip

Grade 4 went on a field trip to Fort Calgary on Tuesday. The students enjoyed a day of learning and exploration. Students completed a class called “Archaeology” in which they worked on sharpening their observation and analytical skills as they inquired about the artifacts they found. They also participated in a class called “Life and Times of Captain Deane” in which they dressed up in costumes and immersed themselves in the roles of Calgary’s past. Thank you so much to all of our wonderful parent volunteers.

 

Ronald McDonald House Thank You

Elboya students received a lovely thank you from Ronald McDonald House for their contributions to Stuff A Sock For A Sick Kid. Thank you again to everyone who donated. A special thank you to Homeroom 10 and Mr. Coward’s homeroom for organizing and coordinating the charity effort.

French language games

The grade 4 students have been learning a lot of new vocabulary in French.  Here is a great website where they can play games with their new words.  French language games
