We watched a video called Bamboo the Anti-Bully Bear.  We took a pledge to be kind to others.

Bamboo the Anti-Bully Bear

Everyone has had a chance to bring in his or her favorite story to share with the class.  We will now be comparing our community to other communities.  Students will be asked to bring in pictures of another community to share with the class.  When it is your child's turn he or she will bring home the following note:

We have spent time in social studies learning about our community of New Brighton.  We are going to start making comparisons to other communities.

It is your child’s turn to bring in pictures of another community that you have visited to share with the class (on vacation, another place in Canada, etc.).  If the pictures are not printed out they can be emailed to Ms. Lang at kelang@cbe.ab.ca.

Please practice the presentation ahead of time with your child so that he or she is ready to answer questions about the similarities and differences between the two communities and how the needs of the other community may be different from New Brighton.

Thank you for your support!
