Hello from Room 5

Hi Room 5 Students and Parents, 

Thank you so much for your support and understanding as we work to keep learning moving forward.  My spring break was full of walks, baking, gopher chasing and puddle jumping. Our school community is here to support you. Do not hesitate to reach out to me or Mrs. Polski if your family needs anything.  

Moving forward, our learning plans will be posted on our blog starting this Friday, with the assignments for the following week. We hope that by providing this on Fridays you will be able to work with your child to make a schedule for the upcoming week that works for you. 

Before we begin providing our weekly learning tasks, we need some information from you to help us meet the needs of each family. This week, please work together with your parents to send me an email (kjcowdy@cbe.ab.ca) by Wednesday, April 1st. Even though it would be a funny April Fool’s day prank, I do really want your answers by then!

In the email please answer the following questions: 
1. How are things going? What have you been up to?  
2. What is your family plan for learning-from-home? When do you think you will do your schoolwork? What challenges do you anticipate you might encounter with learning from home?  
3. What technology can you use for school (eg. Computer, laptop, iPad, tablet etc.)? Do you have access to the internet? Is your only option a paper-based learning package? 
4. Do you have access to a printer? 
5. Are you able to log-in to your Google account? You will use your email address ending in @educbe.ca and your school password (just like logging-in to the computers at school).  
6. Do you have any questions or concerns for me?

Please also continue reading in Raz-kids and complete this week’s assignments in Mathletics.  

I miss you all and I am excited to start learning together again, even if it is remotely. Take care of yourself and your family.  

Ms. Cowdy
