This past month, we've connected with educators through our #HPEOnt sessions with several @ETFOeducators Teacher Locals. Our last session was yesterday with @ETFOHPE & the commitment in ON to deliver learning experiences prioritizing #SEL, physical & #MentalHealth is inspiring!
In SK/1, we concluded our Materials, Objects & Structures unit. They were challenged to create a stable structure 🏠with only one material for the three little pigs 🐖🐖🐖. The structures needed to be able to withstand the big bad wolf (hair dryer) 🐺
**NOTICE** Today the @ETFOeducators announced that its members will engage in a one-day strike at @HPEschools on Tuesday, January 28, 2020. As a result, students in JK-Grade 8 should not go to school on Tuesday, January 28, 2020. This strike does not affect students in Gr 9-12.
Grade 3’s exploring with Buoyancy! They reflected from the first trial test to see what improvements/revisions they can make. So that their tinfoil boat was able to hold even more cargo (pennies) for the final test! #bouyancy#science@HPEschools
Perfect timing to conclude Grade 3’s Soils in the Environment unit as yesterday was National Soil Day! Grade 3’s demonstrated what they’ve learned from the unit #nationalsoilday@HPEschools
**Update Sunday,Oct 6, 9:15 pm** Schools will be open to students tomorrow. No strike happening. A tentative deal has been reached between the province and CUPE. Pls RT
I’m beyond excited to share that I have been hired as an Elementary Occasional Teacher for Hastings Prince Edward School Board! I’m so delighted and grateful to be starting my teaching career 👩🏻🏫@HPEschools
Grade 8s making comic strips demonstrating how water flows through the water cycle from the point of view of a water droplet! Love the creativity! #watercycle#comicstrips
Love incorporating technology within the classroom ! I posted QR codes all around the classroom and in the hallway. When students scanned the QR code, it would prompt them with a question related to ratios. This was a fun and interactive lessons that got my students up and moving
I had my 7/8’s use the @getflipp to search through flyers for grocery items. Students had to find the listed price and determine what the unit rate is for each item on their grocery list! It is important to demonstrate to students how math can be useful in a real world context 💲
Great first day of teaching with my grade 7/8s. My students explored and identified ratios with the use of Fruit Loops cereal. This was a great hands on and edible activity to help students understand the difference between part to part and part to whole ratio #ratios@dsbn
