If it's happening in Grade 5, it's happening here. Hold on for a wild ride. #YYCBE | #FCSInspired with Mrs. Warholm-Leman, Mr. Polsky and Ms. Stapleton

Full squad for #SchoolOfRock today. We may be online but that’s no reason to stop our Friday tradition. Spinning today from our favourite DJ, Ms. Stapleton, was @ABBA & the @BeeGees. Classics that never get old! #SchoolOfPop #FCSinspired #WeAreCBE

It’s pretty simple. Don’t be a punk, “that guy”, a jerk, a butt, a bully, or mean. Just be nice. #PinkShirtDay #WeAreCBE #FCSinspired

Like looking in the mirror. Survey says I like my plaid, my jerseys and crew neck sweaters. 💯 #FCSinspired #WeAreCBE #DressLikeATeacher

My @Grade5FCS friend and I had another great visit with @TerrierHockey player @Ethanlaphillips this morning. We chose our all-time favourite BU jerseys, discussed our current fave NHL jerseys and talked about the run the Terriers are on. #FCSinspired @thfblog

.@Grade5FCS got to chat w/ S2 Wright again as @HMCSNCSMCalgary prepares for a 7mos deployment. We learned what they’ll be doing, how they fight pirates & how they fight fires on the ship. Ss loved hearing about the “Angry R2D2” that helps protect the ship🤣 #WeAreCBE #ShipToShore

This.

Even better when we learned about @foofighters with @Grade5FCS students in our weekly #SchoolOfRock. The kids were buzzing about this clip when they came to school today. #FCSinspired #WeAreCBE #Inauguration2021

Today, @Grade5FCS completed the #1Tweet challenge, inspired by @DerekRhodenizer & @ZachRBrain.

They were asked "If you had one Tweet that the entire world could read, what would you say?"

Here's a thread of some of their tweets. #FCSinspired #WeAreCBE

Working after hours to make sure everything is just right before calling it a day. IlThanks to all the teachers who go the extra mile to inspire confidence, and to all the students who demonstrate persistence in learning. @Grade5FCS #FCSinspired #WeAreCBE

[Daniel Polsky @mr_polsky]

Amazing. Today we had our 1st video call with sailors on @HMCSNCSMCalgary where we asked questions about life aboard a @RoyalCanNavy vessel and what #RemembranceDay means to them. We thank you for your service and look forward to our next video chat. #WeAreCBE #FCSinspired

[Ian Fero @principalfero]

Today our @grade5fcs students helped honour Remembrance Day by hosting an intercom assembly for the school. We missed seeing our friend Lieutenant Colonel Rick Wright and hope our assembly next year can take place all together. #FCSinspired #WeAreCBE #lestweforget🌺

Reviewing our knowledge of sequencing in #coding with @codeorg and the importance of the “repeat block” to help make our code more efficient. #CBESTEM #WeAreCBE #FCSinspired

Before the @Grade5FCS wrote their social studies test this morning I shared a 10/10 study strategy with them. Turns out I’ve been studying wrong this whole time. #FCSinspired

#WeAreCBE has shared some resources for parents as they support their child with #OnlineLearning. Check them out here for Gr. K-6 (https://t.co/RrVVDDJ2xO) and Gr 6-9 (https://t.co/2pqDhiEZI5). You can also find some amazing teachers using the hashtag #NeedATeacherAskATeacher

Grade 5s embraced the snowy day and made 3D snowflakes, exploring symmetry and elements of motion geometry along the way.

Warming up those basic facts with addition war. Great game to also play at home to practice mental math 😀#fcsinspired
