Dear Midnapore Families,
Thank you to all the families who were able to attend today’s learning assembly. Students from Grades 3 and 4 demonstrated their knowledge of our next sacred teaching of Love. What an amazing performance and powerful messages from our Grade 3 students.
On Wednesday, the Grade 3 and 4 students went on a field trip to the Saddledome! We participated in the Telus Be Brave/ Pink Shirt Day celebration and learned about bullying prevention. It was such a fun day of learning, as well as an exciting opportunity to see the Calgary Hitmen play!
The Grade 3 students were able to bring the learning back to Midnapore School and share in the Friday’s Assembly. Connecting to the theme of Eagle and Love, the students shared that at Midnapore School love is expressed through kind words and actions when we interact with each other. In the play performed by Mrs. Litchfield’s Grade 3&4 students, the baby eagle and baby chick were able to overcome their differences and showed kindness to each other. Eventually they became good friends!
For the school wide initiative, the Grade 3 students invited everyone to make a card with kind messages to the seniors in our community. We will collect the cards and deliver them to the senior homes close to Midnapore. We would like to tell the seniors that we are thinking of them, and they are important!
本周，三四年级的学生们去参加了Telus Be Brave/ Pink Shirt Day 反霸凌学习活动。我们非常开心能去Saddledome 看冰球比赛！在周五的集会上，三年级学生们把学习到的知识分享给全校，包括如何友善对待自己以及他人。陈老师的三四年级学生演出了“小鹰和小鸡”话剧。故事叙述小鹰和小鸡虽然有很多不同的地方，但它们在长大的过程中互相帮助，最后成为了好朋友。三年级也邀请全校同学制作卡片送给老人院的长者们。让我们把爱从美那博小学传递出去！

Literacy Fact of the Week
Children’s academic successes at ages 9 and 10 can be attributed to the amount of talk they hear from birth through age 3. Young children who are exposed to certain early language and literacy experiences also prove to be good readers later on in life. Ask your children to narrate what they see as you drive or walk to school! Play a game of “I spy” and look for words that start with specific letter sounds.
