A time to say farewell and thank you!

Dear Parents,

To close off the school year, I would like to start by saying what a privilege and an honour it has been getting to know your child. For some, I have had the luxury of seeing them grow since the beginning of grade one, and for others, the time was just too short. However, the beautiful thing about being apart of Ramsay School is our learning community, and, as your child continues to transition from each grade, all of the adults in our building will be there to greet, support and celebrate them. 

I would also like to say "Thank you" for all of the support you provided your child during our ongoing learning. Your resilience and patience were unwavering, and consequently, your child's growth and success continued to be evident. 

In closing, I would like to say farewell to our students who will be continuing their education elsewhere and to our returning students, I look forward to seeing your joyous smiling faces and hearing your laughter in the fall. 

Stay healthy and enjoy your summer. 

Smiles, Sabine Harris

Using old photographs to find clues about our past

Image
As we continue to explore the history of Calgary the students were given some wonderful old photographs. Their job was to work together as a class and decide where they feel the photographs fit in on our timeline. When asked what were some clues that helped them decide the final location on our timeline they indicate the following; "If the picture is in color it must not be from that long ago" "I can tell by looking at the cars because we know they cars came to Calgary after the horse and buggies" "I can tell by looking at the powerlines because Calgary did not have electricity a long long time ago". " I knew by looking at the people's old fashioned clothes" "I knew that the Calgary tower was built for Canada's birthday but not it's birthday that long ago". "Calgary did not always have the stampeded so that must have been after Fort Calgary was built" "When we watched the video I learned that they only
