Hello families,

It's hard to believe that we are at the end of May and only have one month of grade one left! There are lots of things happening so please keep a close eye on the blog over the next few weeks.

Our gosling and ducklings were returned to Nanny McCluckins and taken back to their farm in Okotoks! We will miss them very much but are so grateful for the time and experience we had with them.

Our field trip in coming up on Thursday, June 4th! We are all VERY excited for this day. Please watch for an email early next week that explains important details you need to know to prepare your child for the day.

Important Reminders:

May 30 - 1:00 - 4:00 - 2026 Spring Carnival in the North Trail High School East Parking Lot (for those who are interested)

June 1 – Alex Munro Principal and Assistant Principal visiting NLS to meet our Carrington students

June 4 – Alex Munro Open House (for our Carrington families) - AT Alex Munro - see below for information

June 4 – Grade One Field Trip to Telus SPARK

June 9 – 6:00 – In Person School Council Meeting

June 12 – 9:15 am – Volunteer Tea (invitations coming home soon to adults who have volunteered this year)

This week we:

• finished our first comic! We worked very hard throughout the week to come up with interesting ideas for our characters to say. Have a look at a few samples below. Students will be bringing home their own comic towards the end of June.

• learned how to read words with -le endings

    

• played a game to practice the phonics skills we have learned this year

• reviewed and practiced using all of our subtraction strategies!
• planted our sunflower seeds! There are actually many different types of sunflowers! Students chose a seed without knowing which type of sunflower they have picked. They will have to wait until it grows to see which one it is! (Or we might give them a hint at some point!)

• had a chance to use watercolours to paint a topic of our own choosing!

• had so much fun practicing gymnastic poses and skills!
