#5AQuoteOfTheWeek

[HWDSB @HWDSB]

Happy to see the pink wave starting for International Day of Pink, as students and staff stand against hatred, homophobia and transphobia! #dayofpink

[Catherine Mlekuz @msmlekuz]

Four different ways of approaching the same math problem! 👏🏼 We learn SO much from one another when we share our strategies with the whole class! 😊👍🏽 @HWDSBmath @adelaide_HWDSB

Have you ever tried shoving toothpaste back into the tube after it has been squirted out? You can’t. The same with your words. Once you say hurtful things, you can’t take them back. A valuable lesson learned in 5A 👍🏼

#5AQuoteOfTheWeek played a simple game of telephone ☎️ during our morning meeting to illustrate how quickly a message can be altered even when passed from person to person in a relatively small group. 🗣👥

#FlashbackFriday to Valentine’s Day - a take on Cupid’s Arrow Challenge💘 but instead of cinnamon hearts we used skittles! How many skittles can you move into the cup in 3 minutes? Followed by some data collection and finding the mean, median and mode! @adelaide_HWDSB

#BlackHistoryMonth Read “Viola Desmond Won’t Be Budged” and then reflected on why Viola Desmond is considered an “everyday hero” while tying in many character traits like courage and persistence. This was a great starting point for our biography unit on #worldchangers

Goodbye, raised hands; hello, thumbs up—a participation strategy that enables *all* students to join the conversation, not just the fastest or most vocal ones. #HowLearningHappens

[HWDSB @HWDSB]

Schools, admin buildings, & school child care centres are closed, Feb. 13. The weather/road conditions continue to present challenges. Decisions to close are not made lightly. We appreciate our families for your understanding as we consider the safety of our students and staff.

Figuring our pattern rules 🤔 and building models to represent numeric patterns using different classroom manipulatives, then using whiteboards to explain our thinking 👍🏾
