Math:  Hello everyone! Welcome back from Spring Break. Hope you are staying safe and healthy. I am hard at work preparing online resources for you. Please refer to D2L this week for information about what you will be working on for the next week. I will update D2L weekly with homework, videos, assignments and or google meet times to ask questions. Stay tuned and make sure you know how to access your D2L. Have a great week. ELA: One day at a time... So this is our plan: since you have 2hours a day to work on school, let's make it as easy as possible, for your parents! You still need to be working hard, perhaps the most self-directed you have ever been. Please check  PowerSchool  as I have been updating the poetry writing you have been handing in to me.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION BELOW ELA: Here is my D2L shell:  https://d2l.cbe.ab.ca/d2l/home/602866 As soon as I hear more information, I will let you know via this BLOG and D2L. Hello my dear students! Go outside every day and read. That's what you need to do. You will be missed so please know you can email me any time. Keep checking the blog. Here are some websites to get you started: https://cbe.ab.ca/programs/curriculum/learning-at-home/Pages/6-9.aspx https://readtheory.org/auth/login Please share your 3 poems with  hmfeke@cbe.ab.ca  and  antonio.lopez@ucalgary.ca  in order for them to be marked. It would be awesome if you could also share a video of you speaking one of your poems to me! I will be looking forward to your dramatic readings! Book Talk projects should be shared with me digitally, if you have not already done so. Even if this is a video of you talking about your book, or a picture of what you have created, that would be great. Read on! ...
