Learning Intentions for our Day... 

• Today we continued with our new IGNITE stations. Most of us are really enjoying using loose parts to create stories! 
• In Writers' Workshop, we wrote Haiku poems about the prairies using describing words. They are coming along beautifully.
• In Math, we learned the traditional algorithm as another strategy to solve subtraction equations.  We solved questions with no regrouping and regrouping from tens to ones

Ask me about... 
the traditional algorithm we learned in Math today. Let me share with you how to solve a subtraction question using the algorithm.

Warm Feet and Heads 

• This week, the Eric Harvie Peace Ambassadors are collecting warm, new or gently used, adult sized socks and hats for Calgary’s homeless.  After our recent cold spell, supplies are low at our city’s shelters and we want to help to fill them back up before the next cold snap hits.  There are collection bins and a display in the hub where students can drop off donations during ignite time each day. 
  
  
  Please ensure:
  
  
  *socks are adult sizes
  *gently used socks and hats are washed and do not have any holes
  *socks are rolled into pairs
  *they are high enough to cover cold ankles
  
  
  Peace Ambassadors will be at our upcoming Sock Hop on Thursday evening to take donations as well!  If you would prefer to donate to our coin collection, Mrs. Zwack will happily purchase socks and hats.
  
  
  Thank you for supporting our Warm Feet and Heads project!
