March 30 Update

Hello Parents and Students,

We hope you are well and have had a relaxing spring break.   For the foreseeable future, together we are traveling into the world of online learning.  We thank you for your ongoing patience as we navigate this new journey and continue to take up the Alberta Program of Studies.  We will be providing learning opportunities & activities soon.
Your child’s homeroom teacher will connect with you to discuss your child’s access to technology at home, including access to a computer and the internet.  Teachers will email students/parents or by phone call. We are also making a plan to address the needs of students without these resources and to determine how to support students with paper packages. Teachers will also ask you how you and your family are doing and encourage you to connect with wellness supports and resources available within and beyond the CBE.
Wellness and Mental Health Resources
The CBE has posted a number of resources for parents on our website, including some guidance around talking to children about COVID-19.  

Learning Resources 
After spring break, additional learning resources and activities will be shared to support students in learning. We have created a Learning at Home webpage that offers a variety of educational ideas to support literacy, numeracy and wellness for kindergarten to Gr. 9 students.

LearnAlberta.ca – more than 4,000 digital resources aligned with Alberta’s K-12 curriculum.
My Child’s Learning: A Parent Resource - provides parents with information specific to each grade level

Hi Everyone, We miss you!  I just wanted to check in to let you know that I am thinking of you and hoping that you are all safe. These are unsettling times, and we are sure that some of you are feeling overwhelmed. We have been at school this week and we promise you, it isn't the same without you all here.  It’s very quiet!  It is the first day of Spring Break, please enjoy the time with your families. Get outside for some fresh air, eat well, and have a good nights sleep! Read a good book! Learn a new board game!  Taylor Voth Information Items: K-6 Parent Supports from the CBE website: https://www.cbe.ab.ca/programs/curriculum/learning-at-home/Pages/k-6.aspx Scholastic is currently offering a ship to home option if anyone would like to order books. http://www.scholastic.ca/ Check our blogs regularly after the break.  As we find out information, we will communicate it to you here. http://school.cbe.ab.ca/school/alexanderferguson/teaching-learning/classes

Seeds for Science

-
Hello parents! If you are outside this weekend/week with your child, please look for seeds to bring in to class next week. Students can look for seeds in the wild or in their yards. We are looking for a wide variety of seeds, so they can also bring in seeds from fruit/vegetables in the kitchen or from seed packets. Please label the seeds in a bag, if you know what type of seeds they are. We will collect the seeds all next week to use during science for our Plant unit this month. Thank-you for your help!
