Skills Manitoba and Festival!


Happy Thursday, everyone!
We had a great, busy morning together!

In Math, we've started talking about positive and negative integers (les nombres entiers) and have realized that here, in Winnipeg, we are VERY familiar with negative numbers due to our frigidly cold winters! Brrr!
We watched this short video this morning as part of our lesson.

After our Math lesson, we were very fortunate to have Emily from Skills Manitoba come into our room for a presentation.

Did you know that by 2020 we will need 11 000 construction workers in our province alone? Wow! We learned about many different careers available to us and that this year's Skills Canada competition will be held here in Winnipeg! For more information, please click HERE.

In Français today, we read a silly story, Super Toupie (in honour of it being "Team Kindness to the Rescue" day) and worked on planning and writing our goals for the remaining part of the school year.
Mme Careen also told us about our upcoming field trip to Festival du Voyageur! Hé Ho!
ALL students will be attending the field trip Tuesday, February 21. Information letters and permission forms were sent home today and are due back to the school as soon as possible, please! And, what could be better than a field trip to Festival? A FREE field trip to Festival! No money required! Woo Hoo! Many, many thanks to our incredible Parent Council and our admin team for working hard to make it happen! It's going to be a great day!

Have a great afternoon, everyone!
