Students have been working hard to create their own restaurants & descriptive menus using figurative language. Today we did a “restaurant tour” where they got to read each others menus, pick their favourite dish descriptions and enjoy some snacks along the way 🥰 @MordenHDSB
Throwdown Thursday’s have begun 😅 every Thursday we are doing mini-debates in language to practice listening, speaking & critical thinking 👊🏼 the conversations today were so good (and so respectful!!)
Both the boys and girls volleyball teams won their games last night and are moving on to playoffs @MordenHDSB! Such a great energy in the gym with both teams cheering each other on 🥹🤍 @mspeddle
Started a novel today & students are using their assignment menus to plan out their tasks for the week. I record their lessons put them on GC so they can learn & work at their own pace while I pull students for conferences or small group lessons.
Today, we started sharing our “If I Built a School” projects. Students were required to write a paragraph about their dream school and create a poster to advertise it, but we got to see some bonus work as well. These students created Google Sites to advertise their schools 🤩👏🏼
We’ve been working on mini-research projects in Science. Each group was assigned a planet and today we went around the room and learned from each other 🪐🔭
Started a writing assignment this week using “If I Built a School” as our mentor text. We brainstormed, organized our ideas and collaboratively edited/revised a paragraph. We decided it needed some work so we will rewrite it tomorrow and use the new one as an exemplar 🎉
Grade 5s & 6s @MordenHDSB spent the week getting to know each other, learning about rotary, co-creating expectations and figuring out their learning styles. We are all set for an amazing year ahead 🥳
Twitter, it’s been a while! Since I’ve been virtual all year, I thought I’d share a phys-ed activity (for fitness testing & goal-setting) I put together to help anyone who’s currently planning for virtual. Geared towards Grade 8 but could be edited! https://t.co/EKC2f1ksZM
