🦬 Grade 3 Field Trip to Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump🦬 Our Grade 3 students had an incredible opportunity to visit Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump and deepen their understanding of Alberta's rich history and Indigenous cultures. Through hands-on learning, guided tours, and engaging exhibits, students explored how the Plains First Nations lived on and cared for the land long before Alberta became a province. They learned about the significance of the buffalo, traditional hunting practices, and the important role buffalo jumps played in sustaining communities for generations. This experience brought the Alberta Grade 3 Social Studies curriculum to life by helping students develop an appreciation for the diverse cultural traditions, histories, and contributions of Indigenous Peoples in Alberta. Students were able to make meaningful connections between classroom learning and the stories, perspectives, and ways of life that have shaped our province. We are grateful for opportunities that inspire curiosity, respect, and a deeper understanding of Alberta's past and present.

🍩 National Doughnut Day is Friday, June 5! 🍩 Grade 2 recently enjoyed reading the delightful story, “Arnie the Doughnut”. The story follows Arnie, a doughnut who is purchased but doesn't realize that doughnuts are meant to be eaten! He tries to warn his friends, who already know their fate and are quite proud of it. Arnie then works hard to convince Mr. Bing, the purchaser, not to eat him. Together they come up with many creative (and sometimes silly!) solutions. You'll have to read the book to discover how the story ends! Inspired by the story, our Grade 2 students designed and created their own unique doughnuts. Their artwork is currently on display at the Rolling Pin in Bow Island. We encourage everyone to stop by, admire the students' creativity, and perhaps enjoy a doughnut while you're there! To wrap up this sweet learning experience, our Grade 2 students will be taking a tour of our local bakery. 🍩✨

Another fun week ahead!
