With everything that has been going on with the Corona Virus worries I wanted to provide some info on what we in school are doing to care for the students and ourselves.

Caretaking staff in all schools have increased cleaning and disinfecting protocols on high touch points (example: door knobs, light switches, desk tops, etc.) throughout CBE schools.

§  CBE schools will remind students of good hand washing techniques and new posters will be provided to reinforce this.

§  The CBE has a supply contract for all necessary soap, sanitizer, and cleaning/disinfecting supplies. This supply is reliable and readily available.

§  If you are sick, do not come to school Please report your absence.

§  If you have symptoms such as fever, cough and difficulty breathing, have travelled outside Canada or have been exposed to someone who has COVID-19, stay home and call Health Link 811.

Today in room 5!

Students began their day in the classroom with a short class meeting before heading into some quiet reading time. It was nice to switch up our usual reading time from the afternoon to the morning.

After reading we transitioned into math and continued to practice subtraction questions using manipulatives. Today we used the grids again with some square blocks. I noticed a large increase in the students speed and accuracy as they worked to finish 20 questions! They are getting it :)

We then had snack before continuing our writing from the previous day. We are working to add more detail to our Mushroom Kingdom stories before we start to edit them tomorrow!

Our class had gym just before lunch in which they played hockey!

In the afternoon the students had mindfulness doing quiet meditation before moving into science. Today we watched The Magic School Bus, Into the Arctic. We were learning about the concepts of insulation, cold weather and animal adaptations. We are going to explore these concepts more we test a science experiment tomorrow!

We finished off our day with music before packing up for the end of the day.

Hope everyone has a great evening!

Keep up with the mathletics and reading at home :)
