Wilder Institute – Burrowing Owl Conservation

  Wilder Institute – Burrowing Owl Conservation   As participants in the Conservation Champions Festival with the Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo, the grade 3 students in Mrs. Moravec’s and Mrs. Price’s classes, have chosen to support and educate others on the burrowing owl.    Copperfield School will be collecting donations starting on April 22 nd  through April 26 th  2024 to raise money for the “Head Starting Program” that is aimed at caring for and protecting burrowing owlets until they are stronger, and able to be released safely into the wild as adults. Our hope is that we will be able to raise over a thousand dollars towards this program.   For  every  $2 donation, your child will earn a classroom ballot.  After the fundraiser is over, we will draw a ballot and the winning class will get the opportunity to play a game of dodgeball vs. the teachers and staff of Copperfield! The more toonies your class brings in, the more ballots your class gets, and the more ballots your class gets,

February Updates

  Hello Grade 5 Families! The week ahead looks very snowy with milder weather. I am hoping that we will be able to take a walk to the Wildflower Pond this week, so I ask that students come prepared for the weather. Dressing for the weather: We are at a time in the year where it can be extremely cold in the mornings and then be sweating by the afternoon- please remind your child to dress in layers and bring warm clothing, including hats, mittens and jackets, as well as snow pants/ splash pants (otherwise we inevitably end up with students in wet pants).  Google Classroom: Your student can access practice websites and printable pdfs on our google classroom (student needs to log in using their educbe email).  Scholastic orders: If you are interested in ordering, you can visit the scholastic website and use our class code RC177015. This allows our class to earn rewards so I can add to our classroom library.  February is Kindness Month at Copperfield School ! We will be working on many
