On Going Learning

Hello Families: We hope you enjoyed your week of our new online learning platform. It was so lovely to connect with the students this week through Google Meets. This week we have been trouble shooting different problems that might arise with this new learning and we are hoping this will become more smooth as we get going. Thank you for all of your feedback and giving this is a try. We really appreciate your patience. We understand all of the time and efforts this puts on you to support your children. Thank you!  Moving forward, we will not be updating this blog regularly as we feel that Google Classroom sends out updates for assignments and all of the information you need is also forwarded to your e-mail.  We loved using this blog these past few weeks to update you on what your friends are up to. Your teachers and your classmates love seeing you! We would love to continue this. Please feel free to upload your photos directly on Google Classroom under the Stream section.

Happy Spring Break!

It's hard to believe that spring break begins now. We will not be updating the blog during spring break but will continue to update it weekly like we always have been after the break. If you haven't already done so, please subscribe to our e-mail list so you can start receiving our updates straight to your inbox. W eekly updates have been sent from the school and it includes some great links. We may have more information for you after the break as well.  This past week would have been student led conferences. One of the tasks was a math task and problem solving.  Below is the link to the problem where your child would have showed you how they would solve this problem. We have been working a lot on how to solve math problems these past several months. Please find some time to have your child work through this problem independently using the organizer sheet provided in the link. This could give you an indication to where they are at with their math. We use these statements i

A note from your teachers and Kendrick

** We would LOVE to keep up to date with what you are up to. Please feel free to send both of us your photos and updates. This year we have been talking a lot about what “connection” means. This is a great example to know that even though we are not physically at school and seeing one another, we are very much connected to each other by an “invisible string”. Please know you are all in our thoughts.  Miss you SO SO much! We hope you enjoy this video from us and a special message from Kendrick.  Mrs. Ly - lmly@cbe.ab.ca Ms. Granger - regranger@cbe.ab.ca  "It took me a moment to gather my emotions to think about what to write" "Dear Purple Team, Thinking of you! I have been busy cuddling, playing outside and more cuddles. I ruff you all and stay pawsitive! Love, Kendrick

We miss all of you!!

Dear Parents: We hope you are and your families are staying safe. We just wanted to say how much we miss you all so much and are thinking about you! Coming in on Monday to an empty classroom was really hard as we try to gather our thoughts about what is happening in our world. Please let your children know that we miss them and are thinking of them. Mrs. Ly & Ms. Granger 

Leprechauns and BFG

We continued to explore and discover the communities of the Blackfoot People and learn more about their story. We learned that the bison was a very important animal used. Ask me to tell you what the bison was used for and how they hunted for them. We looked at more artifacts such as a mocassin, arrow, trade beads, and porcupine quills.  We had our second Big Friend Group (BFG) today. This is where we get to work with students from kindergarten to grade 4 on a task with a new teacher. Ask me to tell you who my BFG teacher is. Today we had to design a tower that could hold a pot of gold. Ask me to tell you if my group was successful and what my design looked like.  Please check your e-mails for important information that was sent out through the weekly messenger. Have a great weekend.
