Personal Belongings Pick Up

Dear Families,

We have developed a system to pick up belongings for your child.  We are adhering to guidelines in terms of gatherings within the space, and limiting the amount of people in the building at one time.

We know that your child probably wants to come to school so they can see their friends and teachers, and say goodbye, this unfortunately isn’t the time do so.  At this time we are following the Alberta Health Services guidelines of social distancing. Please send one family member to pick up the desired items and bring a bag to carry these items.  Also please bring any library books you have at home.  We need to remain at a distance (no hugs or high fives), enter and leave really quickly, while still remembering that #MarlboroughIsAmazing.   

We are grouping families by last name (surname).  To pick up your child’s items please note the date and time below.  We are asking that you enter and leave the building from the main door. We will also ask that you look over the lost and found located by the Learning Commons, before exiting out of your child’s door.

If you have traveled recently, or are feeling any symptoms that have been outlined (fever, cough, running nose, headache, muscle ache or any symptoms of the common cold) You must make arrangements for someone else to pick your child’s belongings.

Please check your child’s classroom blog for updates:   http://school.cbe.ab.ca/school/marlborough/about-us/contact/staff/pages/default.aspx

WONDERful week

We have been having a WONDERful time in class. The students and I have really been enjoying our new novel study of Wonder. This is the story of a boy who was born with a condition called Treacher-Collins and it causes him to look very differently. It is a story about kindness, being a unique and special individual and being accepting of all people regardless what they look like and how they think. Ask your child about this story.

Week of February 3rd

We had a very fun and very busy week this week.
Tuesday we headed to the Glenbow Museum where we did a program about the Fur Trade in Canada and what that meant for the First Nation groups in the area as well as the European's that came over. Did you know The Hudson's Bay is the oldest company in the world?
This week we also did some Valentine's Day art, check out our hearts, they look 3-D!
Ask me about what my group is learning in math, should be about fractions to decimals.
