IMPORTANT INFORMATION
A Now For Some Exciting News! This letter has been sent home. It is yellow. This year, we had the great fortune to be part of the Campus Calgary Open Minds (CCOM) – Zoo School program, which is celebrating its 25th year. Chevron is a major sponsor of the CCOM Zoo School program, and they are marking this silver anniversary with a variety of events, which will be covered by the media. They asked the CCOM team to share a "compelling story" about the positive impact the program has had on teachers, students, site coordinators, and the Calgary Zoo itself. I had been asked to submit my CCOM experience for consideration, and I am excited to say that I have been selected. I have been working with a media relations company hired by Chevron, as well as the CBE Communications, to help me share my story. Several television and radio outlets have expressed interest in this, and so far CTV has committed to it. They would like to come into the classroom to film. Your child may be filmed during their visit. • If you are receiving this letter with NO attachment then you have already signed the third party media consent form in the fall. IF you would like to withdraw consent please email Nicole Bezugley by June 7th. • If you are receiving this letter with an attached form then you declined consent in the fall. If you would like to consent to this opportunity please return the form by June 7th. And with that, CTV is coming in to our classroom on Monday morning. They will be interviewing me about my CCOM experience, and some students who would be willing to share their experience and learning. I will be talking more with students tomorrow, and provide them with guiding questions and how to keep their answers on point. I will post these questions tomorrow on the blog, so they can practice. Any students who do NOT want to be on camera will not be on camera. CTV is respectful of this. Any parent who does NOT want their child on camera (even if you did sign the Media Consent Form at the beginning of the year), please contact Mrs Bezugley in writing. If you have any questions, please contact me. I will get back to you as soon as possible. IMPORTANT DATES June 7: School Council Meeting at 6:30 pm June 11: CTV in our class for Campus Calgary Open Minds interview! June 20: Fun Lunch! (Boston Pizza) June 20: Grade 6 Farewell Assembly at 1:30 pm June 22: Sports Day June 26: Farewell Assembly at 8:15 am June 27: Last Day of School —> Early Dismissal at 11:45 am OUR DAY 167 days down, 13 days left. Today, students put their thinking caps on and flew solo in math. They were given some problems to work on independently, so they could show me what they know completely on their own. I will go over them on the weekend, and work with them next week, because even with 13 days left, and even though this was an assessment, we always still learn. Sometimes it’s good to get a little sting of “What am I doing?” to to figure out what we need to do to learn. While this was going on, I was able to work with some students one-to-one. A reminder that on Monday, CTV is coming in to our classroom to see how our Zoo School experience has shaped the learning we do. Cheerios! Ms Lauf Comments are closed.
