Only one more day till the Heart to Heart Market!! Parents and families are welcome to join us! From 1:30-2:45. If students are bringing money- they do not need to bring quarters- it could be loonies toonies or bills. That would make less counting for us:-)
The deadline for any money made from fundraising for Jump Rope for Heart is tomorrow- May 30. Today we worked on fractions as parts of sets.
We made a total of what we have ready to sell/play at the Heart to Heart Market on Thursday. It's very close and we are getting very excited. RT Alderman – Welcome Event – New students
Students and family who are new to RT Alderman School for 2018/19 are welcome to attend an open house on June 1 from 1:45- 2:45. For more information, please contact RT Alderman School. Heart To Heart May 31st Bring your quarters! At Maple Ridge School we believe that developing citizenship through helping others is part of who we are. If you are new to our school, the Heart to Heart Market is a way for kids to think on a more global level and find ways that they can contribute to others in the world. This year the Market will be held May 31st from 1:45-3:00. Students in grade 3 and 4 run the Market and vote on a cause they would like to give the money they make. Last year, it was The Calgary Food Bank This year, we have decided to give all money raised to the Calgary Wildlife Rehabilitation Society. Each year the Grade 3 and 4 students create crafts such as bracelets, bookmarks, art cards, etc. that they can sell at the market. Some students have chosen to make other arcade type games that students or parents can play. A few days before the Market, Grade 3 and 4 teachers will distribute “Tickets” to each of the Homeroom classes. Any student who brings in money for the Market will be able to get 1 ticket for each 25c they bring in up to a maximum of 20 tickets. Students will get to go ‘shopping’ at the Marketplace on May 31st. (If you are unable to donate this year, each student will still get 4 tickets. We still want each student to experience the excitement of the Market. ) On the day of the Market, the grade 3s and 4s will be setting out a table or an activity where items may be purchased or played in increments of 1-3 tickets (any donation will be accepted). Students will get to go ‘shopping’ at the Marketplace using their tickets- with ALL proceeds going towards Calgary Wildlife Rehabilitation Society. Parents and family are invited to come on the day of the Market to purchase tickets to buy items or play games and just experience the energy and excitement the students have for this cause. Start saving your quarters! They all add up. We look forward to being able to send our love and support…from our hearts to theirs. Maple Ridge students have an opportunity to really make a difference! Hope to see you all there. Sincerely, All the Maple Ridge students and teachers of Grade 3 and 4 We had a great day today! The weather was amazing and the trip was very informative- very connected to what we have been learning about animal life cycles as well as the science unit we are learning about now- "Waste and Our World."
Some kids came without water bottles and hats which the folks at Ann And Sandy Cross were happy to provide. FYI-The bottles and hats are washed every night and they keep them there for this exact purpose. Next week we will be having our Heart To Heart Market on Thursday, May 31 from 1:30-2:45pm. Students are asked to bring in a donation for the Calgary Wildlife Rehabilitation Society. The money the bring in will buy tickets which they will use to buy items at the market or to play some of the arcade type games students have made. Each ticket is worth 25c. Parents and Family are also welcome to come and participate in our Market. There will be tickets for sale at the front door on the afternoon of the market. We hope you can come. Any Jump Rope for Heart Fundraising money that was NOT done on line needs to be handed in to office on May 30. Tomorrow is our field trip- i still am waiting for a few consent forms- PLEASE BRING THEM TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It will be a hot day- Bring water- we will be outside all day except for a small period of time in the morning. Wear a hat!! Proper footwear Sunscreen, bug repellent- please put these on at home!! Hand sanitizer a light jacket/ hoodie for the morning 2 snacks there is NOWHERE to dispose of lunch- please make your lunch environmentally friendly- anything the students bring in they will have to take back home with them. If you have any envelopes for Jump Rope please bring them in by May30th. Thanks! Attention next year science families: RTA will be hosting an Amazing Race next week - Friday, June 1st: 1:45 - 2:45 pm. This is an opportunity for students to explore the building with their families. Their will be no presentations. We had a great day back form our long weekend.
We spoke extensively this morning about our trip to Ann and Sandy Cross Conservation Area (AASCCA). With the guidelines provided by AASCCA- they have a few suggestions to make our day better: The weather is going to be hot so... wear sunscreen!! wear a hat!!- even if it messes your hair! bring water to drink (I don't know if we will have access to water on the trail) We will be walking a lot so.... wear PROPER SHOES- NOT sandals, or crocs There is potential for allergies to kick in so.... bring allergy medication or take it before you come to school if you need a puffer it should be in your backpack There have been a few occasions of ticks so.... wear bug repellent with DEET or wear pants stay only on the path tie up long hair Tomorrow is the Volunteer Tea. It starts at 10:30.
There are still some field trip forms that have not come in yet. Please sign and return as soon as possible. Fun Lunch On Thursday. No School on Friday. Today we looked at the map of Peru and took notes on the climate and landforms. We made connections as to how the people use the land and water there. For example, in Peru there are 3 regions: the Coastal Region, The Mountain Region and the Rainforest Region. If I wanted to be a fisherman, it would make more sense to live in the Coastal Region near the Pacific Ocean than in the Mountain Region. We wanted to see if there was evidence of the people caring for the environment. We found out that in the Rainforest Region, they plant new trees every year. zPlease look for TWAS in backpacks today.
Please return field trip forms for Ann and Sandy Cross as soon as possible. Again, if you are free to volunteer on this day (Thursday, May 24)we would love to have you come along. We had a Jump Rope for Heart Presentation this morning. Students are asked to ask family and friends to help fundraise for this cause. There is an envelop to go home with each student, (which was supposed to go home today)- but you can go to the website: jumpropeforheart.ca to begin fundraising- you can do this online. There are prizes awarded. All the information is on the website. Students/parents are encouraged to do this on line. I will send the envelopes home on Monday. The funds collected for Jump Rope need to be submitted by May 30th. We had a busy day today finishing up a special project.
Our hearts were full this afternoon as were put our best feet forward to make and create items to sell and play at our market on the 31st of May. Students worked like busy beavers to meet their "quotas". Please return field trip forms if you have not done so already. we have one volunteer for the 24th of MAy when we go to Ann and Sandy Cross Conservation Area. If you are free for that day we would love to have you come along with us. |
