Students from JK - 8 are learning how to check out their own library books! @JeffBruce11 @MclayJulie @JulieRuberto @AMcQuinnLTC @WSPS_Library

Introduced this Mystery Word game to students! Loved hearing their dialogue and seeing their reactions! Students also had fun using their critical thinking skills to change the track to spell other words (e.g., side)! @JulieRuberto @MclayJulie @WSPS_Library

As an incentive to raise $5000 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation, our principal and vice-principal agreed to kiss a cow! Staff were willing to have a bucket of water poured on them or a pie in the face! We surpassed our goal! @JulieRuberto @MclayJulie

We are applying what we learned about the 6 simple machines (e.g., inclined plane, pulley, wedge) in our "Rube Goldberg" projects! Check this one out! It uses an Archimedes screw! @JulieRuberto @MclayJulie @RoyalRoadsPS @WSPS_Library @AMcQuinnLTC @dwrighttvdsb @DirFisherTVDSB

My Grade 1s made pepper pianos using Makey Makeys! They had so much fun making their own music and learning about series circuits! @JulieRuberto @MclayJulie @RoyalRoadsPS @AMcQuinnLTC @WSPS_Library @dwright142 @DirFisherTVDSB

@ont_rose What grades and subjects are you teaching? I can share lessons and activities with you to hopefully lessen your load.

[Sandra Captein @SandraCaptein]

@JulieRuberto I do!

[Sandra Captein @SandraCaptein]

@HSolway @kraekerc @ShakeUpLearning @sbruyns @edutopia Yes ...thanks for sharing this article!

[Sandra Captein @SandraCaptein]

@kraekerc @ShakeUpLearning @sbruyns Classroom rules were co-constructed with students before they had freedom to chose ... so far its working quite well.
