Greetings from Mr. Badr

Hello Parents and Students!

My name is Ryan Badr and I have taken over as the math and science teacher for 8-3 and 8-4 as Mrs. Walsh has now started her maternity leave. With this past week being my first week with the students, it has been a transition time for all parties involved. We’ve discussed in class the adjustments and changes that this may mean to routines, and the students have been taking it in stride.

This week in science, the students continued with plant and animal cells, which was highlighted with an engaging field trip to Telus Spark. A big thank you to those parents who volunteered to come along!

In math, we worked with calculating percent values including discounts, sales tax and markup. Students who are going on the Quebec trip next week have been given a homework assignment that is expected to be completed once they come back to school. It contains some research so it would probably be beneficial to get started before they leave. Bon voyage!

I look forward to keeping open communication between parents so if you have any questions or concerns throughout the year, please feel free to email me at robadr@cbe.ab.ca.

Billy Elliot

Students who are not going to Quebec received field trip forms for Billy Elliot yesterday on my 1st yesterday.  Please sign and return these forms to your home room teacher ASAP.  Details for the field trip can be found on the letter attached to the form.  Payment (25$) can be made through your MyCBE account.

We still need parent volunteers.

Field Trip!!!

Students received the acknowledgement of risk and medical forms for our field trip to Telus Spark. Please sign and return these forms to your HR teacher this week. Details for the field trip can be found on the letter attached to the forms. Payment ($15) can be made online through your MyCBE account. We are still in need of parent volunteers. 

Sheep Eyes

Both classes had an extremely successful sheep eye dissection today. I was very proud of their curiosity and respectful behaviour. We had a lot of fun learning more about the eye through this task!

Don't forget, the leaders debate on the Alberta Election is tonight.  If you have time I'd encourage everyone to watch it as a family.
