Dear Parents & Guardians,


Tomorrow is our Spring Concert for Division II. This is the first in-person concert since 2020!

I am hoping to see many of you in attendance.

The concert starts at 6pm sharp. Please send your children to class at least 15min earlier.

I will open Room 15 doors at 5:30pm and am available for a 'meet & greet.'


FYI - Our Pillars of Care Winners for May will be announced her tomorrow.

The assembly will be on Friday in the gym!



Math - homework:

After noticing that some of the Grade Sixers need some extra practice time, I sent home an algebra work sheet with 18 questions involving unknown numbers. 

The principle of solving equations is to 

a) treating each side equally (what you to do to left - has to be done to the right side, as well)

b) isolating the variable (having the unknown number stand by itself)

c) doing the reverse operation (+ <=> - and x <=> /)

Tomorrow is our last chance to practice solving equations in class before Friday's test.


Examples:

6m + 9m = 45 (step 1 - add 6m+9m)

15m = 45 (step 2 - divide both sides by 15)

m = 3

*numbers next to letters is implied multiplication 5c = 5 x c


9c -17 = 28

9c = 17+28 (step 1 - add 17 to each side)

9c = 45 (step 2 - divide both side by 9)

c = 5

  Dear Parents & Guardians, So far most of our staff and students are still in Good Health but as we see Covid-19 infection numbers rise, I am counting on your support to assess your child's health and readiness for school attendance on a daily basis. Important Updates and Reminders: 1. Spelling Test on Friday (Sky Science words) 2. Math - Geometry assessment on area, perimeter and volume (+ conversions) also this Friday In Math, we are reviewing and practicing volume, area and perimeter problems this week. We also reviewed multiplication, as you need it to determine the above mentioned quantities. 4.5 x 7 or 27x 42. In Social Studies, we spent the past 3 days researching the different types of municipal governments and the names for their leaders and councils. Did you know that the head of a rural municipality (county) is called a reeve. The head of a Metis FNA is titled chairperson, whereas Indigenous communities are being led by a chief. Alberta has a total of 44 FNA (First
