As we grieve the 215 children whose lives were lost at the former Kamloops residential school, our flags have been lowered to half mast. To honour their loss, we invite you to leave your porch light on and place a teddy bear on your front step tonight at 6 p.m.

We are spending the morning telling our stories outside. fishcreek @FCSGradeOne_ Ian Fero “We are cats chasing mice!”

I rounded the corner and came across @grade6fcs reading their scripts, preparing for class performances in the great outdoors! FCS students love learning outdoors. Ian Fero

For all you parents, grandparents, educators, and journalists who have been reaching out to me asking how to talk to kids about Residential School...here’s a lil video I made for you🧡 youtu.be/ebOJ_lMCVvk

Another great day at FCS! The Stampede spirit is making me smile this morning. I even came upon one cowboy in chaps! FCS Council Ian Fero

Grade 4 class visit. Students were so engaged in a math ‘scoot’ they didn’t fret over it being a summative assessment. Assistive technology, anchor charts, visible learning intentions, differentiation & movement all built in. Shelly Gelfand #WeAreCBE

#STEMeducation Gr. 4s wanting to solve a mutual problem: So many supplies & tools without enough storage. Design a Custom Toolbox Maker Challenge was born. Students used design thinking process to innovate. A class visit to Ms. K’s room is always a joy! Shelly Gelfand #WeAreCBE

“Can I tell you something? All our toys are so colorful.” B.N. Shelly Gelfand I get such a kick out of the things Kinders say and notice. @maddyshevy #WeAreCBE

The grade 2’s used design thinking process to develop magnetic toys for their toy fair. They were all business when giving their sales pitch. Most toys had a base set, and accessories to purchase after for more profit! #WeAreCBE Dr. Gina Cherkowski STEM Education Shelly Gelfand

This cold snap has us reminiscing about milder temps & learning outdoors. Grades 3&4 are often found learning outside and anxiously await warmer weather next week for more adventures.

It was a tight race, with one team of teachers finishing today’s Stem challenge seconds ahead of the runner up. A fun way to kick off our Friday afternoon work together. Shelly Gelfand #STEMeducation #WeAreCBE
