Dear Parents and Guardians,
At this time, we are waiting to hear from the system level what the next steps will be in regards to future programming for our students. Information will be communicated as soon as we know more from the Calgary Board of Education. This is a new situation for everyone and we want to assure you that the school will be communicating this information to our families as soon as we have a plan and procedures in place. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
In the meantime, the CBE has put together some resources until a long-range plan is in place. To access the resources, please click on the link
In addition to the resources in the link, please find some additional ideas below:
Journals
Students are encouraged to write about a topic of their choice. They can write a fictional story they can continue to write each day. Please ask your child what their writing should include and use our C.O.P.S. editing strategy.
- Capital Letters (Proper placement of upper and lower-case letters)
- Overused words (got, had, said)
- Punctuation (periods, commas, question mark, exclamation mark)
- Spelling
- Sound words
- Detailed picture to match text
Here is a list of common words your child may want to reference to help them edit spelling:

Reading – Levelled Book
Strategies to Focus on:
- Fluency & Expression (no robot reading), tracking text with your eyes or finger.
- Are you able to retell the text with supporting details and/or in sequence?
- Comprehension (making connections, visualize, making inferences, summarize)
Please feel free to email me if you require support or which level your child is reading at and what they are working towards.

Math
Additionally, students can show you a math game we learned in class such as Salute, Addition Snap, and Double-Digit Addition Snap.
Complete the following word problems. Please have your child represent double digit addition questions in a variety of ways using a number line, number sentence, tens and ones, and pictures.
