It's a new school year, and for the first time I'm staying in the same school AND the same classroom. Proud to be part of @KingEdwardLions . Grade 8s, here's a sneak peek of our room. See you on Tuesday! @gecdsbpro

[Mr. Wellborn @MrWell85]

My class created this on the last day of school. Many of them are moving off to high school next year, but I know they have a bright future and I look forward to seeing what great things they do. Have a great summer everyone! @KingEdwardLions @gecdsbpro

The grade 8s were able to investigate microorganisms found in pond water samples. For many of them it was their first time using microscopes and students were thrilled to see these tiny living creatures up close. @KingEdwardLions @gecdsbpro

Mr. Essery visited today to give environmental stewardship presentations to our intermediate students. Grade 7s dissected pellets to investigate the different creatures that owls prey on. @KingEdwardLions @gecdsb

7/8W celebrated National Croissant Day with Mdm Mailhot in French yesterday. After snacking on croissants, they went on to create artwork for our school's FSL bulletin board. @KingEdwardLions @gecdsbpro

There may be a lot of snow on the ground, but that doesn't mean the snowmen can't have some fun. Check out this artwork from 7/8W. @KingEdwardLions @gecdsbpro

Our grade 7 and 8s went to the Toldo Lancer Centre at UWindsor today, to partake in their low ropes challenge course. Lots of team building activities, fun and fresh air was had by all. @KingEdwardLions @gecdsbpro

[Mr. Wellborn @MrWell85]

@MariaDrouillard @HoffmanSartor The room looks very inviting and full of warmth and wonder. Happy first day tomorrow to an amazing Early Years team!

7/8W tested their operational skills by playing some of the cool math games available on YouCubed such as 'Race to One Hundred' and 'How Close to 100'. @KingEdwardLions @gecdsbpro @youcubed

[Mr. Wellborn @MrWell85]

@_TawnyaTweets @HoffmanSartor My kids did this yesterday also. Only two groups spotted the pattern the first time we did it.

[Mr. Wellborn @MrWell85]

Welcome to your new room 7/8W! Some walls are still bare, but not for long. See you on Tuesday! @KingEdwardLions @gecdsbpro

[Mr. Wellborn @MrWell85]

That's a wrap for 4/5W at David Maxwell PS this year! Thank you to my wonderful students, as well as @HoffmanSartor and the staff for an incredible 6 months. I am excited to be returning to @KingEdwardLions for grade 7/8 this fall. Have a phenomenal summer everyone!

On our last Friday of the school year, grade 4/5 worked on another STEM challenge to build plastic straw bridges. The goal was to create one hold that could at least 100 pennies. @HoffmanSartor @gecdsbpro

[Mr. Wellborn @MrWell85]

This afternoon, grade 4/5 engaged in a stem challenge to build a structure designed to hold the most pennies. Many of the groups created solid enough structures designed to hold at least 80 cents! @HoffmanSartor @gecdsbpro

[Mr. Wellborn @MrWell85]

@MariaDrouillard @HoffmanSartor You are most welcome! I'm so proud of my 4/5s for their kindness and patience in teaching our early years friends.

[Mr. Wellborn @MrWell85]

Today, grade 4/5 ventured downstairs and read with our friends in early years. As you can see, both kinders and juniors had a wonderful time together. @MariaDrouillard @HoffmanSartor @gecdsb

[Mr. Wellborn @MrWell85]

Grade 4/5 went on a translation quest this morning. They had to follow a series of steps to see if they could correctly move their shape around the grid and end up matching my grid. @HoffmanSartor @gecdsbpro
