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. If you do not see a mark and feedback, that means you need to share it with Mr.Lopez and me  hmfeke@cbe.ab.ca  &  antonio.lopez@ucalgary.ca  this week please. I've got our D2L shell set up a...
