Recreating @taekeller247 cover of Jennifer Chan is Not Alone. Just finished the novel as a class and it was an adventure and journey of identity. I would highly recommend this as a read aloud for junior classes.

Open House was a success! It’s not until you take a step back, you realize how much students learn and grow in a year! So proud of my Grade 6 students! 🥳 #grade6 #Ridgemount #OpenHouse

Learning facts about substance use, its effects on brain development and making healthy choices through Mind the Facts Scavenger Hunt. When the weather is nice, we learn outside! ☀️#hwdsb #grade6

Exploring our Space unit in Grade 6. Students did a fantastic job creating their own planet; first a physical model and then a poster with all the information about their planet. #grade6 #innovation #science #HWDSB @HWDSB

Concept circles and fractions go hand in hand! 👏🏾 students worked on representing and adding fractional amounts.#mathisfun #HWDSB

@taekeller247 thank you for providing my students with another chance to dive deep into human relationships with your novel “Jennifer Chan is Not Alone”. After reading “When You Trap A Tiger” last year to them, they were thrilled to see you are the author of our new read aloud.

After learning about Secret Path Week, students asked to also participate in Walk for Wenjack. We used it as a time to reflect on how we can move reconciliation forward. #DoSomething #SecretPath

[Curlyn Britton-McLeary @CurlynMcLeary]

We have been learning about Chanie Wenjack’s story through Secret Path. Oct 22nd marks the end of Secret Path Week. Students have explored the impacts of residential schools and the ways in which it truly is a part of Canadian history. #DoSomething

Exploring Concept Circles in Grade 5/6. Represent this fraction in any way you know how. #fractions #joyinmath @HWDSB

[Curlyn Britton-McLeary @CurlynMcLeary]

Students loved this task. It required them to add onto other groups’ learning. They enjoyed creating, representing and extending each other’s patterns. #joyinmath #patterning @HWDSB @RHwdsb

[Curlyn Britton-McLeary @CurlynMcLeary]

Students were given pattern blocks and asked to create an image then represent it using an expression. Then students switched expressions with one another and represented the expression another way. Adding monomials in a fun way! #mathisfun #Algebra #joyinmath @HWDSB @RHwdsb
