🧢 selfies for Hats On! for Mental Health - thanks @ATA38 for donating! @hartmann_rod @SynchroTsunami @albertateachers @CMHACalgary #HatsOnYYC #MentalHealthWeek #WeAreCBE #CJMrocks

Building empathy! Stallone was less than impressed with Calgary’s extreme cold snap, and Ss were keen to consider and write about the week from his perspective. “Humans are lucky because they only have to get two legs into snow pants.” 🥶 #CJMlearns #CJMrocks

What did the mommy buffalo say to the baby buffalo? Bi-son! Listening to haikus and learning about the difference between buffalo and bison. We love spending time with our Grade 2 buddies. #CJMRocks #CJMLearns @DebMcM28 @hartmann_rod @CJM_MrN

Spreading the joy of literacy, and getting to know our buddies! #CJMlearns #CJMrocks

According to Constable Hill, this is Cali’s best ‘get treats’ face. Ss appreciated her quiet comfort and support today... and the occasional face-wash. 💜🖤

Ss became glaciers depositing erratics, learned Indigenous games and innovations, and discovered a cave while on a scavenger hunt. Exploring the Land, Histories, and Stories of AB @ Fish Creek Provincial Park was all the more enchanting in the falling snow. #CJMlearns

Ss thanked Mother 🌎 for the gifts they’ll use to tell their stories on our class journey stick. “These 🍂 are my whole family!” “It’s like a bird in a nest, and I ❤️ birds!” (👀 closely to see the 🐇 thankful for the snow keeping it camouflaged from wild Ss.) #CJMlearns

2 Hartmann’s are better than 1! Ss were delighted to have Mr. Hartmann’s son join us today for #TakeOurKidsToWorkDay . He got a chance to meet many of us in different learning environments, even joining the Happy Feet on their walk at lunch. #CJMrocks

Who is victorious?!? Sharing a fun story to tie in Halloween. 🤣 #CJMRocks

Zentangle pumpkin peace and perfection! Our collective art piece began on Teamwork Tuesday, with estimations made on the number of sections on our ‘canvas’. With room for everyone confirmed, we meticulously filled in our own unique designs. #CJMrocks #CJMlearns #zentangles

How can we raise and lower a flag? Ss continued their investigations of how simple machines make our lives easier. “It’s too much work to get a ladder out - all we have to do is pull here, and it’s just a small force.” #CJMlearns #CJMrocks

Armed with mastery of new math vocab, & numeracy, literacy, & well-being quests, AND a tight grip on their paper, Ss took their learning outside today. “I never saw how many rocks there were before!” “It already snowed twice - dandelions are tough!” #TakeMeOutsideDay #CJMlearns

Author Marty Chan shared magic tricks, laughs, & that a secret to great writing is basing it upon people & events from your own life. (Just remember to change their names in your novel!) He also let us know that the secret to eVeRyThInG can be found in a library. #CJMlearns

Orienteering was vital in finding the well-hidden control points at Shannon Terrace - Fish Creek Park. Some of the locals came to check on us. #CJMlearns

Our Safety Week evacuation site walk gave Ss a chance to connect with our youngest learners, and they quickly developed an appreciation for K teachers... “I tried to teach my K buddy about safety, but all he said was ‘Spiderman’ when I asked him questions.” #CJMrocks #CJMlearns

Nutrien’s Seed Survivor mobile tour stopped by. Ss explored AB agriculture, where our food & clothing come from, what ‘beyond meat’ burgers are made of, & were even gifted seeds to grow our own sprouts to eat... it all left us ‘hungry’ to learn more! #CJMlearns @seedsurvivor

Honing our orienteering skills - using a map designed by a classmate, Ss navigated the schoolyard to find hidden control points. #CJMlearns #CJMrocks

Orienteering practice in anticipation of our upcoming field trip. ⬆️Never ➡️Ending ⬇️Snowy ⬅️Weather #CJMlearns #CJMrocks

@EppicMoments @DebMcM28 @hartmann_rod We were touring our school yard and discussing where things are in relation to the school.

@DebMcM28 @SynchroTsunami @hartmann_rod Where are you and your students going?!
