It look like it is going to be a nice day for our Field Trip tomorrow! We will be leaving the school tomorrow at 9:10 so make sure you have a good breakfast before you come to school. We will be doing three activities, the Interpretive Centre, the Nelson Post Office & traveling by boat to Beaubears Island. The boat will only hold enough people for our class to go over but will go back to pick up any parents wishing to participate in the tour of the Island. Don't forget to bring these things for the field trip:WaterLunch (nothing that has to be warmed up)HatSneakersSunblock Thanks

On Tuesday we went to the gym and watched the Calgary
Fiddlers. They played really good music
with their fiddles, spoons and egg shakers.
Tyler, Ava, Luke, Graham, Keira, Emma and Alexander played the
spoons. Samuel helped them play the
fiddle. Everyone was able to dance to
the music and sing too. We learned that
the difference between the violin and the fiddle is that the music is different
for each. St. Andrew’s School choir joined
us to watch the concert. Xander saw two
of his friends from that school. Olivia
in grade one, won the CD of the Calgary Fiddlers and a pencil. They were AWESOME and we were thrilled that
they came to our school.

Skating On Our Outdoor Rink
At Gretna Green
Elementary School we have an outdoor rink.
We went skating on the rink three times so far. We have to bring skates and a helmet to
protect our head. Some parents or other
family members come to watch us and help us skate. We need help putting on our skates and
helmets. Thank you for helping us. The Kindergarten class is lucky that the
weather has been perfect skating weather. We
would like to thank all those who help clean the rink off after it snows. Alexander says, “Thank you Mother Nature for
the great weather.” Xander, Mirinda,
Ava, Alexander, Gracie, Dylan and Keira said that they noticed a big difference
with their skating because of all the practice.
Mirinda wants to thank Emma and Gracie for helping her skate. Some of our classmates are going to skate on
the rink over the March Break. We all
hope we can go skating again after the March Break.

Thank you to those who have been purchasing books from the Scholastic book orders. With every book order placed we receive bonus coupon rewards to put towards books for the classroom. We just received the books I ordered for the class with the reward coupons we received from the last two book orders. The students are excited to have some brand new books for the listening centre and some new non-fiction books to add to our classroom library. Thank-you!
