Celebration of Learning on November 15
The first CJP Celebration of Learning will take place on Wednesday, Nov. 15th from 6:30pm - 8:00pm. This night's theme will be "Math in Our World: Promoting Positive Math Experiences." Students and families are invited to come and play a variety of math games, read math stories, solve puzzles and problems, and learn more about how math is used in everyday life. Classrooms from Kindergarten to Grade 6 will be open and sharing ways that families can engage in meaningful and fun math activities. Please be advised that not all classrooms will be open for this event, as a second Celebration of Learning will take place in Spring 2018. If your child's classroom is not open for our November celebration, you are still encouraged to stop by. There will be a variety of math activities for everyone to enjoy. All CJP families are invited to attend this fun and interactive celebration!
Special Events this week:
Our school watched "Jack and the Beanstalk" production hosted by the Alberta Opera. In class, we read various versions of Jack and the Beanstalk and students had to re-tell the story from a different character's perspective. Please ask your child about the performance as well as how they re-told the story.
On Friday, we had our Remembrance Day assembly. We talked about peace and why we need to remember those who had fallen. We read a book called "Dreams of Freedom". Please discuss what they learned this week.
Lock Down
On Monday, we will have a lockdown. As to what a lockdown is, please click the link below to be re-directed to the Calgary Police website.

It is important to us that our school remains safe and that students understand lockdown procedures. Talk with you child and review with them what they believe the lockdown expectations are.
Some lockdown expectations include
-remaining calm and stopping what they are doing inside the classroom
-go to the green dot posted in the class
-remaining quiet at all times
Extra Recess
As a school we have raised about 750 pounds of food! The food bank was so impressed with our donation that the Me to We club has given everyone at our school an extra long recess starting Monday at 1:50pm. Please ensure you are dressed for the weather.
