Message to Parents & Guardians:
If this will be your first time experiencing the Fall season in Calgary, Welcome! It changes minute by minute and sometimes it is extreme changes and fluctuations.Please send your child prepared to be outside during Physical Education. This class is a 30 minute period with Mr. Pivarnyik.
Room One and Four students usually have a morning and afternoon recess block. The fresh air and unstructured supervised play is important for students to receive on a daily basis. Please ensure your child is dressed appropriately or has the necessary items in their backpack.
In the event of severe weather conditions, students will be kept inside. At this time, it is still favourable conditions for students to be outside.
Look what we discovered and enjoyed today being outside
Thank you to all the students who cooperated to build several snowman.

Ask your child about what is an optical illusion. How does this connect to our learning about the 5 senses, specifically the sense of sight?
Here are some examples from Google that we explored today in science:
Connection to The Alberta Program of Studies:
1-10: Describe the role of the human sense and the senses of other living things, in enabling perception and action.
- Recognize the limitations of our senses and identify situations where our senses can mislead us: example feeling hot or cold, optical illusions, tasting with a plugged nose.
