Today students had an amazing experience.  Eric, a professional lacrosse player from British Columbia, came to RBES to share the sport with the students.  He explained that lacrosse is Canada's national sport and that the sport itself is older than our country.  He taught students the three parts of their lacrosse stick and then they had the opportunity to practice several skills.  What a fun PE class!! 
 
 

In Social Studies, we talked about the Cree, Blackfoot and Metis people of the Saskatoon area.  We also discussed how the railway brought the European settlers, the Ukrainians, British, and Germans, who settled in the area.  They chose the area because of the rich soil, which was perfect for farming.  

See you all this evening.  Student Led Conference open house 3:30-7:00.  Please arrive no later than 6:30, so you will have time to work through the stations with your child.
