This is the website for the city of Calgary which we are in the process of studying right now. It is a good tool to get familiar with and know how the government works for us.
In Lentopoly today 16/28 students participated. If the trend continues to be low, I will remove it.
FLA stories 22/28 handed in
ES: 14/28 worksheets handed in

UPDATE:
Lentopoly is fun activity I have invented to help students be more prepared for Easter and Jesus' resurrection. Sometimes, students have to do little sacrifices for 24 hours from class to class. Last night it was no TV for 24 hours and there were at best 7 students who participated and those that did not participate, thought it was funny. I take Lent and Religion seriously and was quite disappointed by these results. Perhaps a chat will do the trick otherwise I will stop this activity.
FLA stories due today
ELA poetry books overdue...recitals begin today
Math test on fractions, percentages and proportions next Thursday the 17th
ES: sheet on services due tomorrow
MdH Open house on the 16th, virtual
