Well then, a lesson on #redherrings it is 😆

Taking time to creatively personalize our four month learning journey. Students co-created their success criteria to inform next steps as well as building independence to support peer and self-assessment. #cbeliteracy Heidi Vandenberg

Happy Lunar New Year and Year of the Dragon from grade 5/6! Thanks to two students for planning and leading the celebration.

Thank you Rachel Simmons for penning an Instagram post perfect for my all-girls class. How can we lift each other up like Taylor Swift has Lana Del Rey? Ss annotate today, journal tomorrow, and soon make speeches to follow Taylor’s lead. #WeAreCBE #WomenSupportingWomen

The Boomer Exhibit Tempera and acrylic on paper using mashed banana and beef liver treats on a plastic bag 27 grade 5&6 students and one dachshund cross 🌭🐕 February 2024 #WeAreCBE

A terrific Tuesday at TELUS Spark Science Centre with Project Prototype. What makes an effective exhibit? How do the current exhibits inspire inclusion (the theme of IWD 2024)? Grade 5/6 students recognized the golden ratio from a fall math challenge in each Da Vinci logo! #WeAreCBE

Such beauty in simplicity and joy in resourceful creativity on a thrilling Thursday with Kodiak Herbal. Métis fish scale art is so cool and fun! Marci 🙏 #WeAreCBE

Bullying stops here! Two gr five students prepare the 5/6s and grade 2 buddies for #PinkShirtDay 👚 with vocab “empathy” and “sympathy” in Frayer models, a read aloud, discussion questions and craft to wear proudly, pledging how they will be upstanders. 👏🏼 #WeAreCBE

Flipping the narrative and writing compliments “behind our backs.” 😉 “Celebrating each other feels so good!” #PinkShirtDay #WeAreCBE

Grateful to learn about the sugar maples in Anishnaabe territory today. 🍁 Jordan Vandenberg showed us how he’s made syrup this season and how maples are resilient leaders in the forest. 🌳 40 units of sap make 1 unit of syrup! #WeAreCBE

Happy International Women’s Day! Yesterday AJA made cards for women-owned businesses in our community then made sidewalk graffiti art to celebrate and #AccelerateAction. Today, I had the honour of dropping off their cards to The Botanist and Milk.

Today, we sat in the circle room and students taught each other their recent independent learning about space. So much inspiration came from yesterday’s dome show at TELUS Spark Science Centre! #WeAreCBE

AJA welcomes Jessica Soodeen for an hour of discussing pit crew engineering, motorcycle racing, and fearlessly breaking boundaries in male-dominated fields.

UCalgary programs aim to close gender gaps in science and education ctvnews.ca/calgary/articl…

Girls in science, boys in teaching—paths not often travelled. At UCalgary, a new program is helping young students see their futures differently. Kevin Green has more. #yyc #calgary ctvnews.ca/calgary/video/…

Calgary students taking part in Hackergal’s 14th National Hackathon ctvnews.ca/calgary/articl…

Many of us are intimidated by the power and the potential of artificial intelligence, but not the 11-to-14-year-old girls involved in a national hackathon. Kevin Fleming has more. #yyc #calgary ctvnews.ca/calgary/video/…

All AJA 4-9 cast their ballots Monday. See our results 🗳️ Grades 5/6s were lucky enough to observe first hand the public’s voting process in our gym—a public polling station.

An outstanding experience in coding for AJA combined with creativity and critical thinking. Our leaders thrived. Thank you to Rebecca and Kim for joining us all the way from Toronto. 🙌
