Updates for the Next Week
June 20, 2012
We have a GREAT last week ahead of us!
Field Trip
Please remember that our field trip is this Thursday. We will be leaving for the Ellis Bird Farm around 8:40 and will return in time for buses. Please remember to double check that your child has a big lunch, a water bottle, and that they are dressed appropriately. I am encouraging students to wear a hat, and to come to school already wearing sunscreen and bug spray. Cross your fingers that the weather forecast stays looking great! Students are also encouraged to wear their IREC T-shirts
Hot Dog Lunch and Spectagular
On Monday, we will have a hotdog lunch at our regular lunch time. At 2:00 we will be participating in a schoolwide game of Spectagular on the field.
Report Cards and Last Day
Tuesday, June 26 is our last day of school. We will be watching the movie “The Jungle Book” as a wrap up to the year and a comparison to live performance we saw last month. Our report cards will be sent home on this day.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you so much for all of your support throughout this year. It has truly been a wonderful year and your children have SO MUCH to be proud of.
Students Blogs
May 22, 2012
We had such an exciting day in the computer lab today. We started the students in 3ES their own blogs. They have worked so hard to show that they are responsible digital citizens and ready to share their learning with others. I was so pleased to see them engaged, motivated and ready to write their first blog post this morning. Your child’s blog names follows the following pattern: first name last initial learningspace.weebly.com for example averyglearningspace.weebly.com.
Please take a few minutes and ask your child about their blog. It would also be greatly appreciated if you left them a comment to encourage them to keep writing.

Spring Fling was a school wide event at IREC. We went down to the gym and had an hour-long dance party. It was fantastic. The students took part in seven different dances that they have been practicing in gym class. Check out their great dancing in the video below.
Guest Blog: Learning to Play Recorders
March 5, 2012
In music class we are learning to play recorders. We get to do some really cool songs. On Wednesday, March the 7th we are
going to Lacombe for a music festival. The songs we are doing are: G and A blues also Mission 5. My favorite song is G and A blues because it is easier than Mission 5.

Guest Blog: Yoga in our Classroom
March 1, 2012
In our classroom we do yoga for example: The Flamingo, Downward Dog, Lizard, and all that stuff. My favorite is Downward Dog. There is a song we listen to for yoga. It’s called reach for the sun. There is also a yoga pose called reach for the sun. We are bringing our own yoga mats. The whole point of yoga is to have calm and peace in your life. We also do yoga to add actions to the stories that we are reading.
