I’ve wanted to be a teacher ever since I was little… twenty years and a global pandemic later, that dream came true! Thank you @ULethbridgeEdu for everything! 💙🎓💛 #ulethgrad2022

Wishing our Grade 5/6 community a safe and relaxing summer! Thank you for learning and growing with us 🩷 #firstyearteachers @glendale_msrae

Sustainability through entrepreneurship! #bownesssoapworks joined our community to create our own “Glendale Bowness Special” soap! Students learned about sustainability and tried their hand at how to make the soap! Stay tuned for how it turns out! @glendale_matich

Students shared their “Glendale Story” coordinate geometry projects with each other. What a great opportunity to see what events stood out to each student during their time at Glendale School so far, and reflect on their journey, legacy, and story. @glendale_msrae @glendalecbe

The search for our classroom mascot Flout is still on! Today the suspect left a note for the Ratich community, so we began investigating the handwriting of 14 potential suspects… 🤔💭🧐 @glendale_msrae

Our class mascot Flout has been reported missing today! Today we investigated a note the suspect left using ink chromatography ✍️ @glendale_msrae

We are so grateful to have had the opportunity for one of our parents to come in and help students create their own Winter Counts- a way for students to tell their own stories for this past year. ❤️ @glendale_matich

Today our flight challenge was to work with a partner to plan and build a kite. 🪁 Students were provided with a variety of materials to pick from! After building, we tested the kites outside, then discussed what materials were reliable and durable. @glendale_msrae

Grateful for this school and all the people here. #glendalefamily ⁦@glendalecbe⁩

Today in gym students practiced their balance, agility, and teamwork skills! Each team participated in a plank relay race and various jumping relay races 💪🏼 @glendale_msrae @Glendale_PE

What is the story of our community? Today each table group received an aerial picture of Glendale then completed a “think, see, wonder.” 📸 🤔 Some comments students had were: How was this photo taken? I wonder if this is a map. When was this photo taken? @glendale_msrae

Students have enjoyed using unifix cubes, pattern blocks, and cuisenaire rods (or as we like to refer to as “fraction fries”) to build their conceptual understanding of fractions. @glendale_msrae

Taking our learning of the planets and making them for our “space” where we gather 🌎🪐🌞 @glendale_matich

Our constellation research projects are complete! 🌟🌌💫 Families are invited to come take a look at the projects during parent teacher conferences this Thursday and Friday! @glendale_msrae

Grade 5/6 had such a fun day at our field trip to Heritage Park today! 🥳 Today we learned about the Famous 5 and how coal was used in the past @glendale_msrae @Glendale_MrE

Book Club is underway! Yesterday students participated in a book tasting of a variety of books and chose their top 3. Today they got into their groups and began reading! We are excited to read, share, and consider the different communities in each story! @glendale_matich

THE RESULTS ARE IN! 🗳️ Today we voted, then created a bar graph to see which 3 buildings we will add to our community. The town of Ratich will be adding: a ski resort 🎿🏨 grocery store 🏬🛒 AND a recreation centre 🏒🏟️🏀 @glendale_msrae

Today we watched the 5/6s weather report videos with our grade 1/2 buddies. We love getting to share our work with each other! @glendale_matich @glendalehampton

Our Quadriball tournament was a success! Students demonstrated great teamwork and sportsmanship! 🔵🏆 @glendale_msrae

Today in math we calculated the surface area and volume of our community homes! 🏡✖️✏️ @glendale_msrae
