Our math Harkness Hour group is working on solving 2 step word problems using 3 digit by 2 digit multiplication. Our next step is to create our own word problems. @DHSHainstock @DHarkness_CBE #WeAreCBE

Today students used the Kainai Plant Index to learn about different Indigenous plants and their medicinal uses. They used chalk pastels to create images of their chosen plants. @DHSHainstock @DHarkness_CBE #WeAreCBE

Our student teacher Ms. Dhillon has been teaching us about food chains. Yesterday, we started creating ‘food tunnels’ to represent the transfer of energy between the sun, producers and consumers. @DHarkness_CBE #WeAreCBE

Our student teacher Ms. Dhillon has been teaching Grade 5 about producers, consumers and decomposers. Today, students played a sorting game to test their knowledge. @DHSHainstock @DHarkness_CBE #WeAreCBE

Our student teacher Ms. Dhillon led our class through a science activity that demonstrates how wetlands act like ‘filters’ to clean water. @DHSHainstock @DHarkness_CBE #WeAreCBE

Grade 5 used oil pastels to create collaborative poppy art in honour of Remembrance Day @DHSHainstock @DHarkness_CBE #WeAreCBE

Working on increasing and decreasing shape patterns before moving into more complex pattern concepts. @DHSHainstock @DHarkness_CBE #WeAreCBE

Our 5s and 6s continue their targeted literacy goals for #HarknessHour. This group is focusing on understanding what the subject of a sentence is. @DHSMarasescu @DHSHainstock @DHSSleno

Working on the box method for 2 digit by 2 digit multiplication in Math Harkness Hour. @DHarkness_CBE @DHSHainstock #HarknessHour #WeAreCBE

Took advantage of the beautiful weather to do some one minute sketching and writing @DHSHainstock @DHarkness_CBE #WeAreCBE

For Terry Fox, we created ‘one pagers’ to represent our learning. @DHSHainstock @DHarkness_CBE #WeAreCBE

In Social Studies, we started learning about the physical regions of Canada. To begin, we used loose parts to recreate the map of Canada. @DHSHainstock @DHarkness_CBE #WeAreCBE

Grade 5 has been busy over the past month! In math we’ve been learning how to use coordinate grids as well as the different types of transformations. @DHSHainstock @DHarkness_CBE #WeAreCBE

And that’s a wrap on Grade 5! @DHarkness_CBE

Art inspired by Canadian Indigenous artist Norval Morriseau. “I used the colours of the Medicine Wheel in my art to show mind, body, spirit and heart.” @DHarkness_CBE #WeAreCBE

Helping our kindergarten buddies with an exciting project 🥰 @DHSCariolato @DHSBains @DHSKhurana @DHarkness_CBE #WeAreCBE

We used so many math skills in today’s task. Measuring, rounding decimals to the nearest whole number, multiplying 2 digit by 2 digit numbers and finding the volume of rectangular prisms! @DHarkness_CBE #WeAreCBE

Sequencing time is a tricky skill but Kindergarteners worked hard to tell the tale of ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’-Kindergarten version, as they practiced sequencing the days of the week! We got to share our books with our buddies 🥰 @DHSCariolato @DHSSleno #HarknessHasHeart

Donut forget! 🍩🍩🍩 The last day to order from our Texas Donut Fundraiser is this Thursday, June 8th. There are three tasty flavours to choose from. Glazed, Chocolate glazed, and Chocolate glazed with Sprinkles. Donuts will be sent home with students Tuesday, June 13th.

I love how much curiosity, wonder and learning I witnessed today 😊 @TELUS_Spark @DHarkness_CBE #WeAreCBE
