What a way to end the month of May

 It was a busy week, however, most kids in Room 2 probably think that every week has been a busy week this month. Weekly watering in the Geodome to take care of our planters and help out the other classes with getting theirs watered too. Learning to take care of the various vegetables we have growing in there has been amazing to watch change every week. We were able to pull off an amazing fundraiser for the ALS Society of Alberta. The students were busy completing assessments in ELA and in Math. An informative visit from Ward 7 Councillor, Terry Wong. Participating in the virtual Calgary Public Library's LitCon 2025 to learn from and be inspired by amazing writers, artists, and storytellers each week of the conference.  Let's not forget that community walk to clean up, not one but TWO community centers in our area to help make a difference. We hope the community center in Banff Trail and Capitol Hill are happy with all of these grade 5s cleaning up in their gathering places!

Not only were we busy with academic learning, students were helping to make decorations, practicing their speech for the Volunteer Tea celebrated on May 29. This event also included setting up the gym and taking it down after, preparing the refreshments table, some students were selected to learn to serve, and a group helped wash dishes to help clean up. It was all in a days work!  

We are a busy crew, so they definitely deserved a little down time. On May 30, we had a little dill pickle snack party to finish watching a movie they had earned a while back (we still haven't finished it!) added with "Dress Like Mrs. Moore" spirit day. It was fun for me to see how the students put on the accessories to look like me! Great job to A for going all out and getting her look to be the same as mine with an ID card and her own purple tickets!!!
