Teaching overseas!

In a way, it made me hopeful they reacted so uncomfortably because they knew something was wrong and had to be fixed. Go grade 4s! It was a difficult topic to address so deeply.

Today I asked my students to pick from a box of pencil crayons the one that was "skin colour". Here were the results. Then, when I asked why they had not chosen the brown crayon, the discomfort was immediate. It opened our discussion on racism and unlearning our prejudices.

This year's completed Natural Regions of Alberta Topographical Maps. I can't fly them over to see Alberta unfortunately but my students did a great job making it come to life. #4thgrade #sschat #dscke

Honestly... making dirty water that works is the hardest part of setting up this experiment. 😂

Testing out different materials to filter dirty water. #scichat #4thgrade

All I remember is a teacher asking, "Can you make a curved line with straight lines only?" I'm sorry I don't remember who taught me this but thank you for letting me pass it on to my own students! #artsed #4thgrade

We made positive affirmation fortune tellers using Google Drawing! #mindfulness #4thgrade

4KE finished making picture books of their pourquoi tales. A couple also completed a @WeVideo project inspired by @storylineonline! Here is the video produced by K where she narrates, adds sound, and shows pages of her story. https://t.co/pZWAiOLKSy #KEinnovates #4thchat #elachat

Watching the boys play old school Street Fighter brought a nostalgic tear to my heart.

To take a closer look at what influences our body image, 4KE are making "Typical Human" posters according to movies, instagram, kpop, and more! #4thchat #healtheducation

Testing my students on their sewing skills before we hit the actual art project. 🤣 #artsed #4thchat

[Emily Chow @ewchow]

Proud of my students for using Google Drawing and @WeVideo to create narrated poems with sound effects. Next goal might be audiobooks... #4thgrade #edutech #dscke

To really get a grasp of how big a square meter is, 4KE students have been challenged to make it out of paper. #mathchat #4thchat #dscke

Looking at a bean plant's lifecycle in 4KE and this is the first year a bean pod has grown successfully! Congratulations Y! #4thgrade #scichat

[Emily Chow @ewchow]

Amazed by how B's concrete poem turned out! Now he's looking for sound effects to make his narrated version. #KEInnovates #dscke

Making immigration posters in 4KE @DSCKEMsC. Not only learned about settlement in Alberta but a few tricks with layouts and design. #KEInnovates #sschat #dscke #4thgrade
