Consolidating our learning on fractions with a concept circle today! @RogersPS1 @YRDSBmath @CathyMarksKrpan

[Eva Ho @MsEvaTeaches]

Math is about communicating and sense making! We used our problem solving skills and coordinates to put together a classroom poster for our Terry Fox Run tomorrow @RogersPS1

[Eva Ho @MsEvaTeaches]

Don’t underestimate the power of teamwork in math! We had a fun time completing in the “percents doughnut” problem from @nrichmaths! A lot of rich discussions coming from students. Ended off Friday with a trip to the park on a beautiful day. @hartmanheroes

Marshmallow tower structures in science today! Gr.7s explored live, dynamic and dynamic loads acting on structures. Gr.8s discussed systems and components. We followed up with a discussion on the importance of teamwork and communication✅ @hartmanheroes

We made dreidels in math this week and learned about Hanukkah! At CPS, we love to learn about family traditions. Ss investigated fair share problems, part-part-whole relationships, probability, and addition! @CPSCougars @YRDSBmath

[Eva Ho @MsEvaTeaches]

Pokémon is a fan favourite so in writing we discussed how learning to write is like a Pokémon evolving! Ss reflected on their writing and what they can do to improve. It takes time but we can ALL get there! Having visual goals to refer to has helped us a lot! @CPSCougars

Leaf chromatography experiment in room 13! Students had a great time collecting the samples and working together to complete the task. We read a book to consolidate our new learning about seasonal changes. @YRDSBoutdoorEd @CPSCougars

[Eva Ho @MsEvaTeaches]

Our poem this week explores #TreatiesRecognitionWeek ! We discussed why it is important to take care of the land during our nature walk. Connection to the land is so important as we go into conversations about our responsibilities as Treaty people. @CPSCougars

[Eva Ho @MsEvaTeaches]

Day 2 of #es2021yrdsb learning about the importance of re-centering power in the math classroom. Reflecting on how math is not neutral. As teachers, we need to attend to the social identities of our students and dismantle barriers to math education. @yrdsbinclusion @CPSCougars

[Eva Ho @MsEvaTeaches]

Establishing anti-racist and anti-colonial education means to “build as we disrupt” while emphasizing joy and celebrating excellence. Thank you @DrAnnLopez for many moments of new learning, unlearning and reflecting tonight at #es2021yrdsb! @yrdsbinclusion

[Eva Ho @MsEvaTeaches]

Gr.1/2s talked about all the different ways numbers can be represented! We made our own clothespin number line and Ss got to choose how they wanted their number to be represented. Can’t wait to use our class number line for skip counting! @YRDSBmath @CPSCougars #mathisfun

[Eva Ho @MsEvaTeaches]

Rm.13’s first number talk! We discussed how math can look different for everyone. Ss were given a problem to solve how many counters were in their math kit. We saw counting one by one, skip counting,and estimating. All ideas are valued in our classroom! @CPSCougars @YRDSBmath

[Eva Ho @MsEvaTeaches]

That’s a wrap on a wonderful year with @EVS_YRDSB! So proud of my Ss and all they have accomplished! It was a learning experience for all of us. I can’t wait to see what the next school year brings! 😊

[Eva Ho @MsEvaTeaches]

We finished #Silverwing! To promote #studentdriven learning, students completed a choice board style final project. We had movie trailers, Silverwing themed apps, persuasive letters and more! #EVSlearning @EVS_YRDSB @kennethoppel

[Eva Ho @MsEvaTeaches]

Learning about #Scratch in the classroom with educators from all around Canada tonight! Thank you @TLPCanada and @d_tremblay for such a great PD opportunity. @EVS_YRDSB

[Eva Ho @MsEvaTeaches]

Gr 4's are enjoying our novel study unit!
Silverwing was read to me when I was their age and I am so grateful to have a chance to share it with my Ss. A truly captivating text that is helping us develop our understanding of plot and characters. @kennethoppel @EVS_YRDSB

[Eva Ho @MsEvaTeaches]

Today, Gr. 4's explored the #Whoseland app and learned that #Markham is part of the Williams treaty. Ss identified sites they recognized in their communities. Students extended their learning with a #TreatiesRecognitionWeek choice board. @EVS_YRDSB

[Eva Ho @MsEvaTeaches]

Virtual School, but make it festive! 🎃Last week we had a spooky Halloween themed Phys. Ed. period. Burpees in a costume isn’t easy but we had fun!

[Eva Ho @MsEvaTeaches]

#TreatiesRecognitionWeek is Nov. 1-7. As a classroom community we hope to deepen our knowledge on the importance and meaning of treaties. Ss made text to self connections as they reflect on discussions and whether where they live is situated on treaty land. @EVS_YRDSB

[Eva Ho @MsEvaTeaches]

Learned how to create an Escape Room using @GoogleForEdu Forms. As a formative assessment Ss were tasked with opening locks by solving questions related to animal habitats. #Gamification and #Marvel increases student buy-in which is a "key" part of #virtuallearning! @EVS_YRDSB
