Community
Today we had the opportunity to explore the community through google maps. With the assistance of our buddies in Mrs. Turk's class, we found our school, our homes, and the fire station. Please have your child show you google street view to see the school and your home. 
Please ask your child: 
- What community do we live in? 
- What are some community services in our area?

How can we help?
We also viewed the before and after images of the devastation in the Philippines. Click here to view them http://www.abc.net.au/news/specials/typhoon-haiyan-photos-before-after/ 
Question: What can we do as a class/school to help those who lost their homes and loved ones because of the typhoon?

Lockdown
As you know, our school practices fire drills several times in a year to ensure that students and staff know what to do in case of a real fire. In the same way that we practice a fire drill, our school will be practicing a "lockdown" on November 20th at 1:30pm. 
Please review the following with your child:
- students must go to the safe place in the classroom and sit criss-cross (our safe place is along the wall by the coat hooks)
- students must remain SILENT - no talking or moving during this time
- students must keep their eyes on the teacher for further direction.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at sktoor@cbe.ab.ca or calling the school at 403-777-6000

Thanks,

Ms. Toor
