PUNCTUALITY!!!

One of our current focuses at Beddington Heights is improving the number of students who arrive at school on time in the morning. In December we introduced the "Punctuality Award" at our monthly Pillars of Care assembly to recognize students who have arrived on time every day that month. We also made a promise that if our students' punctuality improved we would celebrate with a movie. We are pleased to say that we have seen an overall improvement and will be holding our first movie session tomorrow (Thursday, February 22) during lunchtime. Students that normally go home for lunch are welcome to bring their lunch and stay with their classmates to enjoy the show.

There will be no Valentine's Dance. Instead, Parent Council will do a Spring Dance in March.

Hot Lunch, for those who sent in money, will be on Wednesday, February 28th! Yummy Subway!

Our Pillar of Care Awards Assembly will be this Friday at 8:15 am. If your child received an award please ask them if they have a note for you.

In PE we are doing Olympic activities! Today we did Skeleton, Bobsled, Curling and a summer sport, Basketball. Yesterday we did dodgeball, it should be an Olympic Sport and Biathlon. Ask your child what a Biathlon is and how we demonstrate it at school.

In Math we are working on using Number Line's. Even if we don't need it, we are practicing on how to use them, so when we start using bigger numbers, we will know what to do.

In Social Studies this afternoon, we learned about Calgary's Landscape. Ask your child about it.

Students were allowed out at Lunch Recess!!!!! WOOHOO!!! Hopefully the severe cold is done for good now.
