Three years ago, this student came to our school knowing little English. Today, he presented his All About Me presentation he made on @GoogleForEdu . He presented in front of his classmates confidently, using presentation strategies we’ve learned. @TCDSB_RDAddario @DArcyTCDSB

Just some patterning of linear patterns using our table of values @DArcyTCDSB . Comparing growing and shrinking patterns and graphing them using our Wipebooks in preparation for our Thinking Classroom activity @TCDSB_RDAddario @TCDSB

Some of the Mother’s Day cards our grade 5 class @DArcyTCDSB made using @canva for education. We loved using the elements of design to create custom cards/posters for our mothers! Students even translated the poem A Mother’s Love by Michael O. Adesanya based on their background!

Tons of fun learning about our history today and the innovative practices of First Nations peoples at Crawford Lake conservation area. We loved the hike, learning about longhouses and playing lacrosse! @DArcyTCDSB

Calculating the differences in prices in food items. Some addition and subtraction of decimals using the number line happening in our math class. Students are using the number line to model their thinking and check their work using the standard algorithm. @DArcyTCDSB @GLewisOCT

Our class doing some #ThinkingClassroom activities on our class whiteboards using @Wipebook. @DArcyTCDSB students working with random group members to come up with clues to try and find the mystery number! These cooperative, problem solving math detectives are on the case!

At @DArcyTCDSB QR codes aren’t just for restaurant menus. Our class used them to link to our “All About Me” Google Slides presentations we completed in class. Parents were able to scan them on curriculum night to see presentations!

@DArcyTCDSB Students are starting the year learning about block coding with Angry Birds. Students are using https://t.co/RhEg0vmPGC to practice patterning and reviewing loops.

Using the @Wipebook again during our #ThinkingClassroom math challenge today. Working with different strategies to find the remainder. What strategies would you tell your future self to remember?

[Gerry Lewis, OCT @GLewisOCT]

Evolving to #ThinkingClassroom Toolkit 2 & 3 with @MrTintoTCDSB: Check your understanding questions & Notes to a Future Self. So much insight from "What do I need to remember" @pgliljedahl #mathchat

[Mr. Tinto @MrTinto_]

The ability to upload student work directly to @googledrive using the @Wipebook app is incredibly easy! #thinkingclassroom

[Mr. Tinto @MrTinto_]

Using @Wipebook to facilitate our #thinkingclassroom rich math tasks with @GLewisOCT
