Loved being a part of these intense Learner discussions around the most efficient way to figure out how many dots. Rich math tasks and collaborative thinking help promote deep learning!

Hey Tuscany - Our ‘Coulee School’ project is about to go live! Banner is up at front of the school. Finished posters will be placed along edge of the Coulee tomorrow. Posters share student learning & QR codes linking to website. Come learn with us! #EHSOurstory #WeAreCBE

Great start to online learning at EHS today...but still a little sad that the momentum towards engaging in-person learning tasks we have been building needs to wait a few weeks.

Beautiful start to the day with #couleeschool together with SaaKokoto sharing wisdom and stories with us!
Preparing learning spaces today...storing all the soft surfaces to minimize risks. The tough question that is on my mind now- Should I jump in pile or not?

Those two handsome young readers must have a wonderful dad...oh wait, that’s me! Thank you Lorraine for inspiring all of us at EHS to keep reading front and centre!!

We had a great (hot!!) few days at Aisinai’pi with some great learning on physics of rock skipping, biology of birds of prey, history from the amazing Saa’kokoto...and how to sleep in a tent with a puppy!

We are very thankful for the Eric Harvie School Parent Council step up and purchasing two large pop up tents for our use in the fall...extend our use of the outdoors through a little more sun, rain, wind...and maybe even snow!
Return to School conversations need to focus on: 1. The outdoor learning is the safest environment 2. Active travel will be safer than bus travel (when possible) 3. The subject of health and physical education will be essential for student social emotional wellbeing #abed

The Gr 3/4 students are working collaboratively cross-Pods to create Alberta landscapes. These beautiful murals are taking shape as learners create their prairie grain elevators & barns that dot our landscape❤️❤️ #EHSOurstory
