Hello Room 22, I wanted to put up another post today because I wanted to share letters that some of the teachers and staff wrote to you. You can get your parents to read them with you. Today is the last day of school before spring break. I hope you can enjoy your family over the next week and spend some time outside being active and enjoying the sunshine. I will be spending a lot of time with my family and that includes Hershey my old dog. He will be quite happy to have me home to walk with him. I am thinking about interesting things we can do after Spring Break. I want to do a unit on nutrition, and continue to work on solving friendship issues. We are going to work on money and time. I wanted to start some mystery science, and current events. Today I learned some fantastic ideas for writing and reading when we had an author visit our school to teach the teachers! We will figure out ways to make all of this happen. I miss all of you very much and I find myself wondering what you are doing during the day. Please send comments to the blog and let all of us what you are up to Thinking about you and missing all of you very much, Ms. Flemming See attached letters from Ms. Ruark, Ms.Wilson, and Ms. Fraserthis is Mrs Hello Room 22, this is Mrs. Ruark! I wanted to send you a little note to say I miss you so much and I sure wish we could be together at school. This week Mrs. Flemming, Mrs Wilson and I were lonely at the school without you. BUT this is a time for ALL of us to stay home with our families, and to keep everyone healthy.This is our “JOB” right now. To social distance But I hope you are able to find things to do at home. I know you will likely be utubing and gaming and watching TV for part of your time. But remember to check out the websites Mrs. Flemming has provided, check our blob, and to help your parents when the ask you. Remember what we say to you everyday: YOU CAN DO HARD THINGS. I will try and send messages on the blog. I think of you all the time. I miss our SPARK and GYM floor hockey, soccer, and basketball games. They were sooooooo fun! Try doing 10 burpies, 10 jumping jacks, 10 squats, 10 push ups, and 10 sit ups everyday! We will see you again before tooo long! Big HUGS Love, Mrs. Ruark Hello Room 22, Mrs. Wilson here! I hope each and every one of you are doing well and enjoying this time to yourself. It is important to remember that everything will be okay. There a lot of adults working hard to keep everyone safe. I understand that some of you may feel upset during this time and that is okay. When I am feeling upset, I try to listen to my favourite music and focus on what I am in control of, like myself. I have been focussing on having a positive attitude, using kindness and finding new ways have fun at home. I have created a schedule for myself (like Ms. Flemming does in school) which includes playing cards, solving puzzles, reading books and learning something new. I am excited to bake something new, make playdough (I will leave a popular recipe for this below) and go outside and enjoy the fresh air. Remember, you are all strong and kind individuals. I am proud of you and grateful to have you as my students. Get lots of rest and take care, Mrs. Wilson Playdough Recipe from Jillian Harris Ingredients
Dear Rosscarrock Families,
If you’re like me, your head has been swirling with emotion these past four days, and for good reason. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought our year to a screeching “PAUSE”-a pause with no clear end in sight. Special things, which we’ve been anticipating (Camp, Lacrosse, Bike Month, etc) have been canceled. When I walk around the empty classrooms and hallways, I am sad, but I am also filled with happiness. The experiences we’ve shared at Rosscarrock have molded us into an inseparable group. And I thank you for creating that for all of us. There’s nothing I, or anyone, can say to make up for that time you are losing in what is supposed to be one of the most playful years of your life. But I can offer some encouragement. Right now, you have the power to make the most out of this unfortunate situation. If over a decade of teaching has taught me anything, it’s that people your age are resilient and innovative. Your generation can navigate multiple worlds and bounce between physical and digital spaces with ease. You are part of the most racially and ethnically diverse generation, and you embrace those differences in ways adults seem to struggle. I can also offer some advice. Help one another and your family. They need you. Do your grandparents or your elderly neighbors need groceries? Offer support. Some teachers may even need your help as many try to transition to online learning. We need you. Go for a walk by the school and read all the messages teachers and staff have posted for you. We want to see your faces from the other side of the window reading them. Keep your head up and keep fighting. Our country needs you because you provide hope for our future. This year may not be what you envisioned, but I’m eager to see what you do with it. Love, Mrs. Fraser Brenna Fraser Principal, Rosscarrock School Calgary Board of Education | cbe.ab.ca/Rosscarrock t | 403-777-8390 f | 403-777-8392
