Dear Parents,
Thank you to those
who were able to join us for our in-class field trip! The Grade 2’s learned about
the adventure of Superhero Settlers. The Ukrainians who settled on the prairies
had several super powers to help them defeat the challenges they were faced
with in Saskatchewan. Geography, culture, goods and services were explored in
this superhero adventure.
February will be a
busy month!
