Let Learning Guide Us

This week I want to share with you some of the wonderful learning that we witnessed taking place this week! We love it when we can let learning guide us here at the school!

• The Grade 4 cohort has been learning about Metis history. I was lucky enough to be invited to watch one of our students perform a Metis jig for his classmates. I also was able to take in practicing some of my Michif language.
• The Kinder and Grade 3 classes welcomed Teachers Pet into the building this week to support their programs. It was great to see the hands-on projects that students were building and the learning that went along with it!
• Grade 1 students welcomed Mr. Maltais who led them through BeeBots, a very neat coding program.
• Today some of our Grade 2s were diving in the the 7 Teachings in their classrooms; echoing messaging of our assemblies!
• In the library and our classrooms, teachers have had excellent read-alouds related to Black History Month. We’ve also highlighted different Heritage Minutes on our morning announcements.

Speaking of learning, you will notice in our upcoming dates Student-Led interviews! We are excited to welcome families to discuss their learning goals!

Student-Led Conferences

All parents are invited to come to the school on Wednesday, March 13 for Student-Led Conferences. Please plan to bring your child with you and aim to spend approximately 15 minutes with them in their classroom doing activities.

Parents and their child(ren) can come by when it is convenient for them between 3:30 – 6:45 pm. We encourage a 15-minute time frame in each classroom to ensure everyone can visit and do a couple of activities with their child.

This is not a parent-teacher interview. If you would like to speak one-on-one with the teacher about your child’s progress, please contact them to set this up at a separate time.

Library Wish List

Library Corner

• If you have any questions regarding your child’s account, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Please don’t be concerned if you get an overdue email, especially when your child missed their library period due to a PD day or being sick. It is just a reminder. 

• Grade 1 students now may take out 2 books. The only classes taking out 1 book are the Kindergartens.    

• Leduc Recreation Pass – Don’t forget about the Leduc Recreation Pass which can be checked out for a week.  

• Amazon Wishlist – I have created an Amazon Wishlist for the library. You can check it out here:  Amazon Wishlist.  If you would like to buy one of these books for the library, please don’t forget to have Amazon send us a gift note with your name on it.  I like to acknowledge the person who purchased the book.  Thanks!

Mrs. Joossee

Please help us plan for next year by letting us know if your child will not be returning to Robina Baker next year.  If your Grade 4 student will be going to Riverview Middle School, you do not have to let us know.
