Mrs. Gartner

Welcome to 2020!

Hello and welcome back from winter break. Hope everyone had a wonderful and restful break.
We had a very short week this week, Ms. Aubrey came to speak with us about chess club, ask me if I am interested in joining.
The temperature is supposed to stay very low through next week so please ensure your child has the necessary winter equipment every day at school.
We celebrated the beginning of a new year with a little art and next week we will work on creating some S.M.A.R.T. goals.

Fish Creek Field Trip

This week we had the privilege to go to wonderful Fish Creek Provincial Park for a field trip. Here we used topographical maps and compasses to find our way around on the trails and find some special marked spots, this is called orienteering. Many of the students saw deer, squirrels, chipmunks and different species of birds. Some of the groups were able to find many of the 12 markers around the trails, but none found all of them. We had a wonderful day exploring in the snow and getting used to using a map to get around and find things. Feel free to ask your children what their favorite part of the day at Fish Creek was.

Kernels Popcorn Fundraiser

Marlborough School Parent Council will be conducting a Kernels fundraiser from November 15th-November 29th. We expect to hand the orders out on December 9^th. The proceeds from this fundraiser will be used to reduce the cost of school hoodies/t-shirts that will be available for purchase by all families at a later date. Snack size bags of popcorn are $2 each. The top selling classroom will win a pizza party!!!

Please help your child with our campaign.  Please sell to friends, family, neighbors, and people at work. 

Week of October 21st

Last week we were busy getting back into the swing of things after fall break. We wrapped up our Science unit of Light and Shadow with a test (ask your student how they did). Starting this week we have Mr. Barker for Science and he is teaching us all about Classroom Chemistry.
Check out this awesome Romero Britto inspired pumpkin art we started, we aren't quite finished, but they look great so far.
