Happy Friday!  

It was a beautiful day for our coulee walk today! During our walk, we found a "no one but you spot" and investigated the different shapes we could observe in nature.  Please have a look at the pictures below.

Hello Friends and Family,

We have spent the last few days working on the addition and subtraction using the strategy of "counting on" and "counting back" using number lines.  Help me to review how to know where to start numbering a number line from, and if I should be counting on or counting back!

As a reminder, we will be going on a Coulee Walk tomorrow.  Please make sure I am dressed appropriately for the weather and have a pocket snack.  Surfaces will likely be fairly icy, but it looks like it will be a nice day!

Families Helping Families

As is our tradition at Eric Harvie School, again this year we are calling on your kindness and generosity to help support a family in need at Christmas. This year, we will be supporting 10 families at Colonel Fred J. Scott School who may need a little extra help to make Christmas brighter. While in past years we asked for specific gift donations for individual family members, due to the pandemic, this year will look different.

This year we are asking for monetary donations. These donations will purchase a variety of gift cards (eg. Walmart, Superstore, Safeway) and small stocking stuffers gifted to each member of the 10 families in a stocking. Parent Council has generously offered their support by collecting the money via direct deposit and helping purchase the gifts.

Donations can be made via at

 Hello Friends and Families,

In writing today we had a "free writing time".  Ask me what I wrote about!  Some kids had the opportunity to share their writing for author's chair.

In Inquiry, we wrote and drew a visual journal page about the Magic Treehouse book we just finished reading as a class.  We had to make sure we included characters and a setting in our work, and show that we understood what the prairie landscape looks like.  Ask me about my favourite part, who the characters were, and where the story takes place (hint: the prairies).   

On Friday, Nov 27 we will be going on a Coulee Walk.  It looks like it will be a warmish day, but we will be going unless the weather is extreme, so please make sure I'm prepared and have a snack I can eat outside.

Thanks for reading!
