Twin Day at school, and staff had just as much fun as students. 🤠🤠 @hartmann_rod #WeAreCBE #CJMrocks

Empathize ➡️ Define ➡️ Ideate ➡️ Prototype 🔁 Test. Ss used the design process to engineer vehicles with a purpose - delivering a treat to our dear principal! 🍪🚙🍪🚗🍪 #CJMlearns #CJMrocks #WeAreCBE

Fierce determination as the Ss used the design process to figure out how best to hit the T with a marshmallow, using a lever. 😯 🎯 #WeAreCBE #CJMlearns #CJMrocks

In school-wide circles, we learned about reciprocity and balance from the traditional Métis story The Giving Tree, and are now delighted to have our own ‘Reciproci-tree’. @LeahDorion #CJMlearns #WeAreCBE @Indigenous_cbe

A couple of ‘subtle’ indicators for students that the teacher’s Leafs were victorious over their Flames last night. #LeafsForever

A hallway of poppies welcomed students and families to our #RemembranceDay assembly. #CJMlearns #WeAreCBE @jotygill11

139 pumpkin entries in our annual contest made it a real spirited day! Thanks for sharing your creativity with us, CJM families! 🎃 #CJMrocks

🎃 Happy Hallowe’en from the Grade Four-est punny teachers! 🌳4🌲4🌳 #CJMrocks

Clouds kept sunrise a secret - grateful to have 🦌🦌🦌 on Nose Hill to greet #NationalDayForTruthAndReconciliation. At Fort Calgary, CFD raised a banner with 2879 names of children who didn’t make it home from residential schools. The list is unfinished. #whatissomethingyoucando?

Thanks to @peterhreynolds for the art inspiration - the T recognized each one of us with the details we included. We’re typically quiet Ss, but our characters had lots to say about how they met SDP goals for literacy, math, and well-being. #WeAreCBE #CJMlearns

We’re all wonders. @TadCarpenter #CJMrocks #WeAreCBE

Ss sketched a banditry of chickadees, then joined the entire school in singing the Chickadee Song thanks to @Stormshadowsong when the ☀️ was high in the sky at noon. #NIPD2022 @Indigenous_cbe #CJMlearns

Ss were inspired to create their own lists of 10 Beautiful Things @mbgriffinbooks and Good People Everywhere @yogacalmkids after the CBE Read Aloud by Superintendents @AndreaHolowka @JoannePitman5 @UsihChristopher #WeAreCBE #CBELiteracy #CJMrocks

Ss followed the scientific method to construct parachutes. After test flights, they identified design changes to increase drag and improve their parachutes’ effectiveness. 🪂 #CJMlearns

The talk rock spoke for us today, spreading love around our sharing circle, as we tried to find peace in our increasingly turbulent world. 💜 #Uvalde

The imagery in ‘Olivia Wrapped in Vines’ by @MaudeNepveu was a great way for Ss to ‘see’ how anxiety affects us. Ss identified their own ‘vines’, then listed personal strategies for managing stress and worries. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #CJMlearns

Ss shared some hopefulness after reading ‘The Last Tiger’ and researching what companies, individuals, and organizations are doing to help our planet. 🌎 @BeckLikesBooks #EarthDay #CJMlearns

After reading ‘The Day War Came’, Ss reflected on the story + treatment of refugees. Aside from the hopeful 🪑, Ss created powerful art with no other identifiable imagery; instead using only colour, line, + simple shapes to convey emotion. @nicolakidsbooks #3000chairs #CJMlearns

Chalk and charcoal sketches, emulating Emily Carr. "Inspiration is intention obeyed." ~E.C. #CJMlearns

SO very wonderful to go on a field trip again! Scott and Keith @YouthLinkYYC more than made up for the wait with a day full of safety and forensic investigation. ⚠️🔬🕵🏻‍♀️ 🚓 #CJMlearns #CJMrocks
