Summer Links

As we head into summer, I thought I would post a few links for those students who may want to keep their learning skills sharp over the summer or who need a little extra practice.  Please note that some of these resources and activities are American and as such they do not follow the Alberta curriculum. 

Links to a wide range of sites for all grade 1 and 2 curriculum.  Please note this site is expected to be discontinued at the end of the summer.

This week we will be redesigning and rebuilding our boats incorporating what we have learned about waterproofing, stability, cargo, density, propulsion and what the Acadian people used boats for.  With that in mind can you please send in materials that your child would like to use in building their boat.  We are building on Wednesday. 

Thank you!!
