Wednesday, February 3rd

 

Highlights:

Mrs. Dobler was our guest teacher in gym today and she gave us a mission!  She had heard that our very own groundhog, Panorama Pete, was hiding somewhere on the school grounds, and we had to find him.  If we failed in our mission, Spring would never come to Calgary!  Our classes searched high and low and finally we found Panorama Pete lounging in a tree.

Both Grade One classes got together and watched a movie about ‘community’.  After, we had a discussion, we found out that there are parks, schools, roads, sidewalks, shops, libraries and so much more in our community of Panorama Hills!
