May 2011

May  was a fun month! We began with a get away to Canmore for Mother’s Day and brunch at Lake Louise. High tea continues to be one of my favourite things: there is something about those tiny little sandwiches, miniature desserts and flaky scones! What is there not to like, especially if it includes a chilled glass of champagne?

At the end of the month, CubJ went on his first travel studies field trip when all three grade four classes headed out to the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller for an overnight trip. This trip included a hike in the badlands, workshops on Ancient Rocks of Alberta, Fossil Casting  & Raptors in Action, a trip to the sportsplex for swimming, a sleepover at the museum and finally a trip to Reptile World! CubJ even managed to snap over 100 pictures of his trip.

This was a great introduction to traveling with the school and if this is any indication, I can not wait to see the pictures he will have in the years to come of Ottawa, Quebec City, Washington DC, Costa Rica & Columbia if he keeps up the great work.
