Victoria Hack

Over the past week we took the time to learn about Remembrance Day through stories and our virtual assembly. We will remember and honour those who served and continue to serve our amazing country. The grade 1s wrote thoughtful and heartfelt postcards to send to veterans.🌹

Today @ffca_nwe students and staff will pause and remember those who have fought and sacrificed for our rights, freedom, and peace. Although we can't gather in the gym, we are grateful to those who have sent in pictures and videos for our virtual assembly #lestweforget #ffcaworks

We had so much fun celebrating Bat Day! We were fortunate enough to have a special guest from the Alberta Community Bat Program visit our class via Zoom. We learned about all the amazing things that bats do for humans & issues that they are facing. We are #batfriends in grade 1!

On #OrangeShirtDay, we remember that #EveryChildMatters. We honour and acknowledge the thousands of Indigenous children taken from their homes and forced to attend residential schools. #ffcaworks #ffcaedu

For the second time this week, over a thousand Calgarians gathered to have their voices heard. We continue to be proud of our city’s ability to come together, be heard and support one another. We hear you, #yyc. There is much work to be done and we are committed to serving you.

If you teach Black kids, it is your responsibility to spark conversations with them (and your colleagues) about race. If you don’t teach Black kids, it is your responsibility to spark conversations with your students (and your colleagues) about race. Discomfort is no excuse.

Big thanks to Kelsey from the @mustardseedyyc for presenting on homelessness in Calgary. School Council and @ffca_nwe are running a sandwich drive on February 29th in support of our community members. Parents and families who want to help out, please RSVP. See email.

Working together to improve our stories by using #peerediting checklists and offering grows and glows 🌱🌟.

"Oooohhhhh! Ahhhhh!!" We loved learning about the grade four simple machines. Thank you for sharing with us! #ffcaworks #ffcaedu

The Grade 4s worked so hard on their simple machine projects & were mighty proud to share them with classes around the school! #ffcaedu #sciencerules #simplemachines

Amazing coding session by @learningcode! Grade 4s loved creating an alien version of their sprite and putting them into space! 👽🪐💫

Day 3 of our Cold Weather Dance Party today! Grade 3s and 4s absolutely rocked it on Monday, looking forward to seeing their enthusiasm today as well!

The Grade 4s have been participating in the 12 Days of Giving! Yesterday they gave their time by reading to younger students around the school 🤓📚 #12daysofgiving

Grade 4s had a blast creating and testing different prototypes that incorporated wheels and axles using @KNEX

Love using ‘Think Outside the Box’ challenges in the classroom! So creative! 😁😁 @tenacioustwos #creativity #thinkoutsidethebox #fastfinishers
