@Susmita14390414 @ValleyviewCBE Hope Ayaan is enjoying his new school! He will be missed at VV!

@VVCormack2 @ValleyviewCBE Happy to hear that you are back ❤️ but Ayaan is in different school now ☹️

Hoping everyone at @ValleyviewCBE is having a great first week back! Excited to have a brand new group of Grade 2's in the Science Program when I'm back in November! #GoVoyagers

Riley is a big fan of the Calgary Zoo like so many Valley View students!

Start them reading young! Happy first month back to all our Valley View students! Riley can’t wait to join you all when he goes to Kindergarten in 2026! #bookworm

It is a bittersweet day to say goodbye to all of my amazing students as I go off on maternity leave! They have all grown so much this year and should be proud of their hard work! I can't wait to hear how their learning progresses with their new teacher over the next few months!

For Earth Week, students learned about synonyms and antonyms to create their own diamante poems! We also got the opportunity to be apart of a virtual author visit with @evelynbookless and her book "Captain Green & the Tree Machine!" #TeamTrees #EarthDay #ReduceReuseRecycle

This week we started our poetry unit and created poetry books that we will be adding to each week. Our first poems were haikus, where we focused on descriptive language and using our 5 senses to describe spring! Here are some beautifully written examples! #CBELiteracy

This week in Math, students were introduced to fractions! Students noticed they saw the concept of fractions in a lot of their foods so we decided to share our favourite snacks and represent them using fractions!

Exciting opportunity to provide feedback relating to the streets around our school from @cityofcalgary available online at engage.Calgary.ca/DoverStreets Take some time to identify what is working well and is challenging for those travelling through and living in the community.

Excited to see our amazing students and staff in person and online tomorrow. Hope everyone had a safe and restful Spring Break!

Inspired by the #DavPilkey presentation we had on Monday, students spent the week creating comic book characters inspired by themselves! Now they are writing descriptive paragraphs using different adjectives to provide more details about their crime-fighting heroes! #CBELiteracy

This afternoon, we got to watch two NASA mechanical engineer & scientists discuss life beyond Earth and the Mars Rovers! Students were able to get their questions answered in real time - our classes question about oceans on distant moons was even answers! So cool!

What an amazing virtual tour through the Eurasian exhibit at @calgaryzoo! Students saw Red Pandas, Amur Tigers, Snow Leopards, Komodo Dragons and many more animals! We learned about their diet, habitat, and animal adaptations! #VirtualFieldTrip #CBEHub

I look forward to continuing to meet with families tomorrow for our Hub Parent Teacher Conferences!

This week, we started our "Design Your Own Country Project." Students were tasked with creating a name, flag, and currency for their country. In the coming weeks, they will create maps and come up with their own native language! #CBEHub

@ShariVass Who won the debate?!

Today our Grade 3/4s hosted a debate. 4 students represented each side and confidently stood before their peers and some available staff members to share their persuasive arguments. Do you think Grade 3/4s should have homework everyday?

Putting our knowledge of shape & perimeter to the test during our small groups today! We are working on explaining our math thinking through words and equations. #CBEMath

Is a hot dog a sandwich? This question sparked quite the debate in our class today! Students are working on their opinion writing and using evidence to support their point of view! Comment down below what you think! #CBELiteracy

Seismic Shake Up! Students learned all about earthquakes and created research paragraphs about these deadly natural disasters. They were then tasked to create buildings that would withstand a shake test! Many used support pillars, truss systems, and wide bases in their designs.

Students spent the morning in a Scratch Programming workshop with #MindsInMotion learning the basics of coding! Students created their own personalized version of the classic game "Whack-A-Mole!" I can't wait to see what they code next!
