Hello all,

We are continuing our look at the structure and make up of the Canadian government and how our chosen organisation structure of government reacts to current issues such as the Caronavirus.
We will continue during the short week to look at the Charter and collective rights.

Hello Everyone,

This week we continued to work through the textbook and cover some of the key issues and mechanics of Canadians and our government. We explored the youth justice system and why, even through justice should be fail and equal for all people, we have a different set of standards and punishments for youth. We also looked at the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and how it is a foundational document that limits the power of the government. We will continue to discuss this in the new week. Have a great weekend.

In Grade 9 Math we continued our work on Integers:

• positive and negative
• how to add and subtract them
• studied what parts might confuse us

Hello Everyone,

Congratulations you have made it to the winter break. I had the chance to speak to most of you and give you feedback on the year so far.
We will follow through with that feedback in the new year and prepare for your first report card at the end of January.
If you would like to contact me for work or more feedback please feel free to do so a jaschultz@cbe.ab.ca

Have a good Break.

Dear Parents and Guardians, 

As we are approaching the winter break we are preparing for the transition in a few ways. We are getting students ready for the time off from studies with some review and reflection of the year so far. When we return in January, the first term will be ending the second week back and report cards will be sent home soon after. Part of our work this week is to review with each student the year so far and making a plan for the New Year. We will also be highlighting any missing or incomplete assignments to them and want to provide the opportunity to redo or submit them before their first report card in January. Ms. Wilson and I wanted to remind you that marks are available through PowerSchool, in addition you will be able to see if any assignments are missing or incomplete. If you have any questions, concerns or if there is anything you would like us to be aware of or follow up on please don’t hesitate to contact us. Our emails are mjwilson@cbe.ab.ca and jaschultz@cbe.ab.ca. A current review of weekly tasks and work can be found on the class blogs (https://emhumanities85.blogspot.com/  and https://wilsonschultz.blogspot.com/). In addition the textbooks can be accessed through D2L.

Thank you for your support

Marla Wilson and Jordan Schultz
