Weekly Curriculum Update Grades 4, 5,6

Date: January 7

This Weekly Curriculum Update serves to communicate with parents and students the Alberta Curriculum Outcomes to be taught for the upcoming week.

The outcomes are purposely written in the form of inquiry questions to motivate students to research and ask questions about the topic. Thus, the learning extends beyond the classroom.

The Grade 4 students from Prince Charles School showcased First Nations culture with their fiddles at our Peace and Goodwill Neighbourhood Brunch on Tuesday, December 18.
