Reason 152 I love teaching chemistry: Sometimes it feels like teaching Potions at Hogwarts 🧪#LCSlearns @LakefieldCS

LCS 1st Soccer are play-off bound once again! Proud of this team - the most mentally strong group I have had the pleasure to coach #LCSsoccer @JaniceRunza @KieferThalen

[Anne-Marie Kee @AMKeeLCS]

Congratulations team! ⁦@LakefieldCS⁩

[Elliott Exton @extonlearns]

Tons of fun foraging giant puffball mushrooms from the @LakefieldCS woods to make soup together with the Rashleigh House crew last night. #RashleighLife #LCSboarding

[Elliott Exton @extonlearns]

@AMKeeLCS @LakefieldCS Great pics! Thank you for taking the time to connect with this group. Could I repost to the Rashleigh Life Instagram?

[Anne-Marie Kee @AMKeeLCS]

Thank you Rashleigh for the feedback - and some laughs! Tonight was special - first time seeing two eagles on Third Island @LakefieldCS

[Elliott Exton @extonlearns]

It has been a pleasure bringing Matteo '23 to train with my @MLCFC1 team. A great player to coach and to now share the pitch with!

Playing against my team is a humbling reminder of how good they are and how old I'm getting! Grateful for the awesome @lakefieldcs staff who gave up their Friday night to support this!

[Sam King @SamK1ng_]

Had so much fun playing on team staff in Friday night lights last weekend against our 1st soccer team! Let’s not talk about the score though 😆⚽️ @LakefieldCS

[Elliott Exton @extonlearns]

Views from soccer practice today - is there a prettier backdrop for fitness and conditioning? @LakefieldCS

[Elliott Exton @extonlearns]

SCH3U spent our first day of class at the @LakefieldCS farm to see how chem applies to agriculture! Students tested soil samples for pH and the presence of key nutrients. Great review and anchoring for the year to come in an authentic way! #LCSLearns

[Elliott Exton @extonlearns]

Surprise find on our walk through the @LakefieldCS trails this morning! Anyone brave/hungry enough to trust my 🍄 identification skills?

[Elliott Exton @extonlearns]

🚀 It's never not fun to blow the lid off stuff! Love the noise, giggles, and curiosity this lab brings out #LCSlearns

[Lakefield College @LakefieldCS]

Mr. Exton's Grade 10 Science Class is kicking the day off with an experiment in the lab! 🧪 They're creating film canister rockets with Alka seltzer and water. The goal? Determine which factors affect the rate at which the lid pops off 💨

It was a wacky time to be a first-year teacher, but I'm grateful for all the experiences learning math, science, and chemistry with incredibly resilient kids @LakefieldCS. Here's a few highlights! #LCSlearns

[Elliott Exton @extonlearns]

Many reasons to be grateful after receiving my vaccine today. Grateful for my @LakefieldCS community: to @rhigilbart for advocating to get our res team vaccinated ASAP, and for clinic volunteers like @IanArmstrong2 who made the process welcoming and easy

[Elliott Exton @extonlearns]

This was fun! Chem Ss worked in breakout room teams to solve a series of problems on Jamboard. Each correct slide earned a clue towards identifying the molecule at the heart of Evil Exton's world domination plan 😈 #LCSLearns

[Elliott Exton @extonlearns]

Grateful for this backdrop to an awesome student-led intersession day. Zoom in on the last pic to spot our special spectator 🦅 - this felt SO Lakefield!

[Elliott Exton @extonlearns]

@ElsonEducates SO relate to that feeling of stopping a cycle. Time to rethink my placement of this spiral's test on the last day of the module to give more time for debrief and reflection. Thanks for the podcast recc - due for a break from my True Crime playlist 😅

[Elliott Exton @extonlearns]

Marking math often has me feeling punitive - docking marks here and there for mistakes. Is this serving the purpose of using assessment as a tool to drive learning? 1/3

[Elliott Exton @extonlearns]

Hoping that this will help guide Ss towards achieving learning goals by leveraging mistakes as an opportunity to improve. The concern comes in providing meaningful feedback for Ss to engage with that doesn’t freely give solutions away. Thoughts? 3/3

[Elliott Exton @extonlearns]

For this unit's final problem-set, Grade 9 Ss will submit their assignment, receive actionable feedback, and have the chance to implement it before resubmitting for grading. It works for essays, so why not long-form math problems? 2/3

What message does this grade book send to students about growth?
