How does the past affect the future?

What does it mean for a community to thrive?

case study: FRANK, ALBERTA

FIELD TRIP ANNOUNCEMENT:
We are excited to announce that our class and Mrs. Lagrana's class will be going to HERITAGE PARK for a full day field trip on Wednesday, October 26th! We will need 3-4 volunteers per class. Please stay tuned for more information. We hope to have the forms out to you next week!

As we explore a 'Community in the Past: Frank, Alberta', we have been reading the story, 'Keeley: the Girl from Turtle Mountain'. This is a trilogy from the Our Canadian Girl children's series. Here is a summary of the book: 

Nine-year-old Keeley and her father need a new start. The frontier town of Frank, Alberta, seems like a good place: in 1901 there are lots of jobs as well as plenty of room for Keeley to breathe, play, and explore. On a dare from a schoolmate, Keeley decides to investigate one of the few places off limits to children in freewheeling Frank—the coal mine where her father works. But what starts as a game soon becomes a life-threatening adventure...

Here are two books we will be reading!







WE NEED CLASSROOM VOLUNTEERS!! If you are interested in helping with class projects, changing bulletin boards and other everyday classroom tasks, please let Mrs. McDonald know! Please ensure your volunteer clearance is up to date. Thanks everyone :)
