UPDATE: We know there have been some issues with uploading pictures to the Signs of Spring 2020 photo collection and we apologize for any inconvenience that may have caused. At this time, there seems to be no apparent reason why some emails are working while others are not. It does seem like the most reliable way to upload to the collection is through the browser on a computer. If you are still experiencing issues with uploading your photo to our Signs of Spring 2020 photo collection, please e-mail your photo(s) to knbeaudettehodsman@cbe.ab.ca and your photo will be uploaded on your behalf.

Good morning Joy pod. It looks like today is going to be a warm day, so get out as much as you can and enjoy this small window of warmth. Yesterday we began google meet and today we will continue with it. Look for the invite in your CBE gmail accounts (username@educbe.ca). If you can't log in we sent your parents an email on March 30th with all your login information. Enjoy your day!

ACTIVITIES

Google Meet
If you haven't already, part of your activity for today is to join in on a google meet with your teacher. Please have a parent close by to help monitor. Remember to think about how you behave. Ask yourself "Is this how I would act if I were right in front of the person". Being on a screen can trick our brains into thinking that it's okay to act differently. Review the etiquette and, if we haven't seen you already, see you soon!

Thursday April 2nd


Good day to all of you Joy Pod. It is a frigid April 2nd, but I hope you will bundle up today and make your way outside for play time or just for a walk. Despite the cold the birds are still chirping in my neighbourhood. I heard a rumour that there are a few robins who have returned! I wonder if they're regretting traveling this far north?? Please see our daily message below. 



Here is our read aloud for today. The assignment is written below. Enjoy!





ASSIGNMENT

You are to write a letter or email. The letter will be written to a nurse, doctor, caretaker, grocery store work, or whoever is still working with a lot of people. This may even be your mom or dad or aunt or uncle. These jobs are challenging during this time, so we want to thank them for their kindness and hard work.

Your work can be a written letter (just take a picture when you are done and email it to your responsibility teacher) or you can write it as an email through your google email (Gmail). The steps to writing an email are below:

1. Go to Gmail
2. Sign in using your @educbe.ca account
3. Click on the compose button ( + )
4. Type your responsibility teachers email address. It should come up when you start typing; if not then it is their CBE email name and then end it with @educbe.ca.  
5. Make your subject 'Thank You'
6. Write your letter
7. Send it to your teacher
