Students will be going to Fish Creek on Tuesday, May 1. This is an opportunity for students to deepen their understanding of wetlands and the biodiversity within and surrounding the area.

We are deeply saddened by the tragic accident in Saskatchewan involving the Humbolt Broncos hockey team. The Calgary Board of Education sends our thoughts and condolences to the families, teammates, friends, communities, schools and fans of the deceased and injured. We offer our sympathy and support and grieve with you. Out of respect for the victims and their families, flags at all CBE schools and buildings will be lowered starting Tuesday, Apr. 10, until the end of the week. Out of respect for the number of wonderful players who were lost from the Humbolt hockey team we will show our respect by having a jersey day here at the school. This will occur on Thursday, April 12th. This weekend, students are to work on the word problem about fractions and decimals posted below. We will review this problem together on Monday. The idea is for students to have a chance to try the problem before we go over it in class. If students are having difficulty working out a strategy, please don't stress and spend excessive time on this as we will review strategies together in class (recommended time is max 30 minutes). We are practicing the problem solving process (see Concept & Topics for information about this) with a focus on analyzing the problem before solving. Students are welcome to solve using a preferred strategy in any format as long as the general steps are followed. The options for format are:
1) Solve on paper - using the homework books that were brought home or other paper 2) Upload a video to IRIS - explain in the video how the problem was solved 3) Share on Google Docs/Slides - share your work with [email protected] The Fundraiser Problem Everett, Zabby and Cade are selling cookie dough to fundraise money for the school.
