It was a tight race, with one team of teachers finishing today’s Stem challenge seconds ahead of the runner up. A fun way to kick off our Friday afternoon work together. @GelfandShelly #STEMeducation #WeAreCBE
This cold snap has us reminiscing about milder temps & learning outdoors. Grades 3&4 are often found learning outside and anxiously await warmer weather next week for more adventures.

The grade 2’s used design thinking process to develop magnetic toys for their toy fair. They were all business when giving their sales pitch. Most toys had a base set, and accessories to purchase after for more profit! #WeAreCBE @gcherkowski @STEMEduc @GelfandShelly
The grade 3’s have been working through a series of building challenges. Their mini sculptures were my favorite. So intricate! @GelfandShelly #STEMeducation #WeAreCBE
“Can I tell you something? All our toys are so colorful.” B.N. @GelfandShelly I get such a kick out of the things Kinders say and notice. @maddyshevy #WeAreCBE

Research in psychology and health continues to show that people are #Happier and #Healthier when they have a chance to spend time outdoors! ❄️☃️
Check out some of the benefits to spending time in nature with this graphic from @DiscoverForest ❤
#STEMeducation Gr. 4s wanting to solve a mutual problem: So many supplies & tools without enough storage. Design a Custom Toolbox Maker Challenge was born. Students used design thinking process to innovate. A class visit to Ms. K’s room is always a joy! @GelfandShelly #WeAreCBE
Grade 4 class visit. Students were so engaged in a math ‘scoot’ they didn’t fret over it being a summative assessment. Assistive technology, anchor charts, visible learning intentions, differentiation & movement all built in. @GelfandShelly #WeAreCBE
A small gesture to show our gratitude and acknowledge that things are tough. Staff at POW are supportive and amazing. Student well-being is always top of mind. #BellLetsTalk @GelfandShelly
Take time for each other. Take time to listen. Take time to talk. Mental health is more important now than ever. @Bell_LetsTalk @GelfandShelly #BellLetsTalkDay

Starting the day out on the land for our first system wide Indigenous Education Professional Learning Day @Indigenous_cbe #wearecbe

I rounded the corner and came across @grade6fcs reading their scripts, preparing for class performances in the great outdoors! FCS students love learning outdoors. @principalfero

As we grieve the 215 children whose lives were lost at the former Kamloops residential school, our flags have been lowered to half mast. To honour their loss, we invite you to leave your porch light on and place a teddy bear on your front step tonight at 6 p.m.
We are spending the morning telling our stories outside. @fishcreek @FCSGradeOne_ @principalfero “We are cats chasing mice!”
Not a bad day at the office! Thanks @CalgaryPolice for this amazing and informative experience! @principalfero @InquiringFCS6s
