Good afternoon families,

I hope you all enjoyed a long weekend and got some time outside. I am still working towards keeping you all up to date better through the blog. Obviously this is something I need to work on.

I have sent out an email telling all parents the up and coming field studies. Due to student voice, we had to rush and book some places back-to-back. We are really hoping that all goes well in getting our volunteers!

This is the letter that was sent home today through school messenger. 

Below you will find the dates of each field study for the remainder of the year. If you are interested in volunteering, please email your child teacher the date(s) you are interested. We will then confirm that your security clearance is up to date and you have completed your annual registration form. Your classroom teacher will send you a confirmation email to inform you of possible next steps and/or which dates they will require your support. If you are no longer able to commit to a date you identified, please give your classroom teacher as much time as possible to find an alternate volunteer.

Today at school we had a Math problem. We are suppose to figure out how many pencils might be in two boxes if there is about 500 pencils (TD). We tried multiple strategies to figure out the answer (KC). For example some used a picture, division, and adding. This problem was an easier problem to learn the process of problem solving. In Science we were planning and talking about our field study tomorrow. We get to learn more about the new central library and other interesting buildings around the area. Our purpose for tomorrow field study is to explore different buildings and be able to compare them (GA). At the end of the day today we did exploration time. We had building centers. We were building structures (DD). This is to get us ready for our big project which we will be introduced to next week. Reminders - Tomorrow is our field study - dress for the weather. Only bring items that are needed in our backpack. Leave everything else at home.

Welcome to Online Learning

Dear Parent(s) / Guardian(s):       Thank you for your patience as we work through some necessary planning in preparation for resuming structured learning opportunities for your child. I understand there has been a lot of uncertainty about what learning is going to look like moving forward. I can assure you that we are going to work on key learning outcomes at-home within the parameters established by the province and CBE.       To help me understand your family’s access to technology, can you please provide responses to the following three questions:   §    Does your child have access to a computer, laptop, iPad/tablet, smart phone? If so which types of technology might be accessible?    §    Does your child have access to the Internet?   §    Is your only option a paper-based education for your child?       While the lessons I will be providing are aimed...

March 31st Learning Plan

Welcome to our first week of on-line learning. Thank you to all our families for being patient as we learn how to use new platforms and how to best communicate with our families. We know there will be hic-ups along the way. We would like to begin by explaining our thought process in how we will move forward. This may change as we learn how to infuse technology and understand our student's needs in this new learning environment. Each Friday we will post a blog, similar to this one, where we share our learning intentions. Most tasks will be connected to the larger learning intention with smaller learning intentions embedded in the task. We will provide a possible schedule of when each task could take place to help in organizing yourself and your family. As mandated by Alberta Learning, we will focus primarily on literacy and numeracy, however being a Science alternative program we value the importance of integrating a Scientific perspective on the tasks we assign.  We strongly...
