We had a blast learning about endangered species on our first field trip in over two years! A lot of learning and exercise happened today 🐢👟

Thank you to St.Clair Conservation Authority for teaching us all about Spring Water Awareness today!

I was so impressed with the conversations and strategies happening today during our small group, student-led number talks today!

[sam kaldeway @KaldewaySam]

We were so lucky to have had @MrsLoriMeyer with us this week to help us get back into virtual number talks and games!

Open ended numberless word problems are quickly becoming one of our favourite minds on activities!

Exploring Geoboards and creating and solving riddles kept us busy today. S’s shared which clues and strategies helped them the most after we completed them. What clues help you the most?

We learned so much today at the Virtual Experience the Trades Event. Students were so excited to bring home their model picnic tables! #experiencethetrades

“Ms.kaldeway did you know I don’t have to wait to use the 1 cup, I can use the 1/4 four times instead!”
One student saying that prompted other groups to find out why. Experiments and recipes create so many learning opportunities!

We estimated, we counted and then we wrote clues and created our own Esti-mystery. The jar and our clues went across the hall to see if they could figure it out👀 How many eyeballs are in the jar??

We had so much fun learning to code and create our own games using Scratch today! A big thank you to the Western Engineering Outreach Program for running this event for us.

Students were challenging themselves this morning, trying to come up with the most combinations.🍦Ss sharing their strategies with one another was the best part!

Today during a gr. 6 PE soccer game a group of Ss spontaneously mid game gathered around a classmate w/ASD & began cheering & calling his name while passing him the ball to bring down the field to the goal. It was reported as a “movie” moment that gave you chills. #WeAllBelong

Today we read and wrote about ocean animals and played a few rounds of our favourite Flippity game! @LKelempro #SLP

Students have been working hard over the last 8 days! 📚✏️#SLP #LKDSB

Such a selection of items found during our capacity scavenger hunt today!

[sam kaldeway @KaldewaySam]

We went on a virtual field trip to the ROM and learned about the science of Mine Craft!
Pear Deck makes it easy to see how Ss are feeling, what Ss learned and if they enjoyed the trip. 👍🏼

If a student asks you for an accommodation (ex. an extension) because of their mental health, what do you do? I'll tell you what I do. 1. Validate 2. Accommodate 3. THANK them for prioritizing their mental health! Teach youth that something positive comes out of asking for help.

Love these comics that students created about Earth Day using Google Slides! We are learning new skills everyday 🌎💻
