@MsArmstrongg had students sorting themselves into a Carrol diagram. Are you wearing 1 or 2 layers? White soles or coloured soles? #activemath @KanataHighlands

Practice drawing precise lines using cm in our notebooks and then a partner practices measuring precisely. No prep for teacher and instant feedback and productive discussion if answers don’t match! Thanks for the idea @AndreaDignam #teamwork @KanataHighlands

2/3A enjoyed the added challenge of sorting cards and then Lego pieces using 3 attributes in a triple Venn diagram.

Snow day+Makerspace time=Measurement STEM Challenge! Can you build a structure that is 30, 100, 75 cm tall (without using a ruler!) #STEM @KanataHighlands

Students have been working hard to create informational videos about celebrations/famous structures and today they had the chance to watch each other's videos! We looked at our co-constructed success criteria and practiced providing helpful feedback to our peers!

Miss Armstrong has been so wonderful, holding down the fort while I have had to be away! Happy holidays everyone!

[Gracie Armstrong @MsArmstrongg]

Flashlight board games to end the day and to celebrate the start of Holiday break! The students were so excited to try new games and to collaborate with their classmates. Happy Holidays!!

Last week 2/3A built beaver dams to explore different structures and habitats. They did a great job and had lots of fun! @AndreaDignam @MsMacInClass
