Student's Belongings

Hello CJP families,

Please see in the schedule below the pick-up times for you to pick-up your child’s personal belongings and return library and home reading materials.

We have divided the pick-up times into several sessions to assist with social distancing. We respectfully request that only ONE parent enter the school to reduce the number of people visiting the building. We recommend that children stay home as this will likely be a difficult time for them to remain a safe distance away from peers and friends, however, this remains a parent decision as we are not allowed to restrict student access to the building for belonging pick-up.  

Please bring a backpack or shopping bag as most children have many items that will need to be taken home. Please do NOT take the bin holding your child’s items.  All lost and found items will also be in the gym.

If your child has medication stored at school, please check in with the teacher who will be at a table in the hall. They will be able to provide you with your child’s medications.

If you are unable to pick-up at your scheduled time, please plan to pick-up in the additional times scheduled.

If you are only dropping off library books and home reading materials, a bin will be located at the front entrance for these items. Personal items (Inside Shoes) not picked up will remain at the school for pick-up when school resumes. School work remaining will be recycled.

Please plan to enter through the unlocked front doors and proceed directly to the gym where all belongings are located. We ask that you exit through the gym doors (south or east).

Thank you

Health Lesson

Today for health we had a lesson about staying healthy. 

We watched two Brain Pop videos: 

• Colds and Flus
• Washing Hands

You can watch the hand washing video at home for free.

We did an excellent job with the quiz at the end.

Hopefully everyone practices good hand washing at home this weekend.

Tom Baines Play - February 17

Our classes have the opportunity to attend Tom Baines' production of Madagascar on February 17. We will leave the school shortly after the 9:10 bell and will return in time for lunch. 

Please return all field trip consent forms by this Thursday, March 12.

THANK YOU to all the parents who have already offered to volunteer! Your quick response is much appreciated. 

March 2-6

Rooms 20 and 21 were very busy week this week. We hope that your children have been sharing what we have been doing in class.

Art Felt

Both classes had two opportunities to work on the large whole school project. Students were excited to be back working with the wool. On our first day we made little pom poms; these will be sewn together for a larger mural. On our second day we made more pom poms and had the opportunity to work on the tree and heart for the large mural. Next week we will visit the Art Felt room to see how things are progressing.

 This is the felt when it has been cut into chunks.

 Felt was place in Easter eggs, cut side up. Water was added then we shook the egg for 3 minutes.

There are a few rinsing and rolling steps, but this is the end result. 

Ask your child to tell you the whole process. 

Social Studies/Art/Writing

This week we integrated many subject areas together for our learning. We wrote about the piece of art we created last week (Indigenous Landscape). This week we heard the story of Sam Livingston, Calgary's first settler/farmer. He was married to a Metis woman named Jane and they had 14 children. The classes used pencil crayons and oil pastels to create a landscape from their perspective. The students then wrote about this perspective. On Friday, students compared their two landscapes to decide which piece of art they felt was best and why. They also considered how they could improve their art.
