Coulee Walk - Volunteers Needed

We are going to visit the Coulee on Thursday, November 8, 2018 from 8:45am to 11:00am. We will be focusing on finding 'sit spots' that we can return to in the future.

If you able to join us on this walk, please let us know!

Today the students began working on skip counting.  We have been looking at a hundred chart and are looking for patterns when we count by 2's, 5's and 10's.  A fun website is http://www.primarygames.co.uk/pg2/splat/splatsq100.html

Today we worked on finishing our Glenbow Ranch writing.  Students were encouraged to record all of their observations, activities, and questions through writing and a picture.  

We have begun exploring the question, "Who uses the coulee and why?"  With your family, discuss why you have gone into the coulee.  What did you do there?  Where/how do you play outside?
