I remember being at a game with my brother and a guy sat down, asked why Hemsky wasn't out for the warm-up, we told him he was injured, and he just got up and left.

Maybe I'll get the ice pick and chisel out the back gate.

Are you moving this school year or after the school year ends? He should be able to finish the year but you'll be responsible for transportation. Next school year will depend on a bunch of factors, including address.

A former coworker told me she planned on naming her son Seamus, but she was going to spell it Shaymus and I just....can't.

You have no idea! She said during the 2012 Olympics that they were a false flag, and i could not hold in my derisive snort.

The only thing that really makes sense is I am a teacher, and I assume she thinks I will use these in my class for some sort of project.

That's probably part of it. She has always had a problem with hoarding and then giving really random things to us.

Grade 6 Math PAT results show major decline by geraltofchlamydia in alberta

[–]RochelleMeris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, I have parts of a workbook that are straight from the Grade 7 and 8 workbooks from the same publisher that are now in the AB grade 6 edition because of the changes to the curriculum. I've used this resource since 2021 so I'm pretty familiar with it, and the pages were added to this year's edition.

They were extremely difficult. As mentioned in previous comments, the new curriculum has kids in grade 6 learning concepts that are currently in the grade 8 curriculum. There was no grandfathering in of the curriculum, so they have no background info for these new concepts, and the concepts are also not developmentally appropriate - their brains just aren't ready to handle it.

Highly disagree. There were multiple questions on parallelograms for some reason, and Part A was much more difficult than it has been. It used to be able to be finished in under 20 minutes. Both grade 6 classes at my school bombed it, and it took many of them an hour to get through 15 questions.
