Here’s how it was made: young female coder who had an idea of having an interactive door and she figured it out along the way. Lots of testing but so worth the confidence this project helped her build!

Div 2 & 15 are using buddy time to complete a @VIAstrengths assessment. When we know and live into our strengths each day we build positive emotions, meaningful engagement, deepen relationships, create meaning & celebrate accomplishments ❤️ @MaddaughSD36 @mandeepR41 #PERMA

@beedle_melissa @Surrey_Schools @MaddaughSD36 Also, some Surrey schools will already have copper tape as it was delivered as a consumable with the Tools for Schools ADST kits a few years back. Please don’t hesitate to contact me directly if you have more questions! [email protected]

It’s only fitting to show this sample of our current #ADST designs on Star Wars Day! Here’s a sneak peak at our paper circuits. #MayThe4thBeWithYou

@beedle_melissa @Surrey_Schools @MaddaughSD36 I buy most of my materials off Amazon. The LED lights will last you for countless years and I use the copper tape for various projects. The only yearly cost is the 3V battery for each student. Here’s a great resource to help get you started: https://t.co/DdVogfl0OT

Grade 5/6 students made light up Mother’s Day cards complete with adorable puns! We used copper tape, 3V coin cell batteries, and LED light emitting diodes to create these paper circuits. So much learning and problem solving for love. ❤️

We made operation games using @makeymakey & @scratch to learn about the digestive system! Students designed games & built codes + connected using copper tape & alligator clips. I’ll be sharing more at tomorrow’s Focus Day w/ @sutton_c

When @Surrey_Schools and @gcspoon send over @littleBits and the teacher has no idea how to use them… give them to curious minds and see what happens! My students are teaching me how to use our new tools! Watch them reflect on their design thinking:

[Mandeep Rai @mandeepR41]

@janeteacher2 Absolutely. I’ve moved over to the convenience of Microsoft Teams as well… so much easier collaborating with Surrey teachers. It’s also great for distance or online learning if need be.

[Mandeep Rai @mandeepR41]

Div. 4 took on principal @Vendram1n in a Mystery Skype! Students worked as a team to ask and answer questions to reveal clues about their opponent’s mystery number.

Collab with a teacher to see numeracy skills and #corecompetencies in action!

@T_Saito1 I’m up for a round anytime! We can also do this with a mystery location! Each class picks a country in the world. Students use planners and ask directional and geographical questions. (Above/below equator, national language, continent, nearby bodies of water, climate)

[Mandeep Rai @mandeepR41]

@janeteacher2 Discourage guessing the number without enough clues. Also, try it with a mystery location! Each class can pick a country in the world, students use planners and ask directional and geographical questions. (Above/below equator, national language, continent, nearby bodies of water)

[Mandeep Rai @mandeepR41]

@janeteacher2 I don’t limit the number of questions we ask as long as it’s one at a time and opponent always gets a question after we ask one. If a team guesses the right answer you can continue or stop there. Part of the challenge is using math language to communicate a yes or no question!

[Mandeep Rai @mandeepR41]

@DivisionW @scratch @BCreek36 Excited to see what they will create! You inspire me so much! ✨

[Mandeep Rai @mandeepR41]

@KidsCoding I’ve been trying to connect with someone via email and phone and have been getting zero response for weeks. I’m a teacher in Canada and I need some info, please connect with me.

[Mandeep Rai @mandeepR41]

Starting Monday morning off with an #hourofcode using @codeorg in Div. 4! Students are learning to solve complex problems by breaking them down into steps and testing their solutions. #sd36learn

Collaboration from a distance. ❤️ Grade 2, 3, and 7 students created a timeline of their favourite books that have influenced their lives. Inside the beautiful covers, students shared how these stories have impacted their lives. @DeeKellyP @Surrey_Schools @celinedympna #sd36learn

[Danielle Peters @DeeKellyP]

Finished our #inspirationalbooks project in grade 2/3. Ss used their new pgh writing skills to share why these books were important and what they learned from them. #SEL #sd36learn @mandeepR41 @Surrey_Schools @GaiaCC @i_simranjeet

[Mandeep Rai @mandeepR41]

@harv291 @ghollybow @Surrey_Schools What better way to get their attention? This looks great, glad your students enjoyed bringing their favourite game to life and adding that dash of math to it! 🥰
