Students have been working hard to create their own restaurants & descriptive menus using figurative language. Today we did a “restaurant tour” where they got to read each others menus, pick their favourite dish descriptions and enjoy some snacks along the way 🥰 @MordenHDSB
Focusing on self-love this Valentine’s Day in 5/6-1. Students wrote notes filled with things they love about themselves 💖🫶🏼
Throwdown Thursday’s have begun 😅 every Thursday we are doing mini-debates in language to practice listening, speaking & critical thinking 👊🏼 the conversations today were so good (and so respectful!!)
When it’s 20 degrees in November, you take your read aloud and sketch notes outside 🌞🌞 perfect end to our day!
Both the boys and girls volleyball teams won their games last night and are moving on to playoffs @MordenHDSB! Such a great energy in the gym with both teams cheering each other on 🥹🤍 @mspeddle
Started a novel today & students are using their assignment menus to plan out their tasks for the week. I record their lessons put them on GC so they can learn & work at their own pace while I pull students for conferences or small group lessons.
Today, we started sharing our “If I Built a School” projects. Students were required to write a paragraph about their dream school and create a poster to advertise it, but we got to see some bonus work as well. These students created Google Sites to advertise their schools 🤩👏🏼
We’ve been working on mini-research projects in Science. Each group was assigned a planet and today we went around the room and learned from each other 🪐🔭
Started a writing assignment this week using “If I Built a School” as our mentor text. We brainstormed, organized our ideas and collaboratively edited/revised a paragraph. We decided it needed some work so we will rewrite it tomorrow and use the new one as an exemplar 🎉
Grade 5s & 6s @MordenHDSB spent the week getting to know each other, learning about rotary, co-creating expectations and figuring out their learning styles. We are all set for an amazing year ahead 🥳
Twitter, it’s been a while! Since I’ve been virtual all year, I thought I’d share a phys-ed activity (for fitness testing & goal-setting) I put together to help anyone who’s currently planning for virtual. Geared towards Grade 8 but could be edited! docs.google.com/presentation…
After a whirlwind of a week, I am SO excited to be starting the school year in my first full-time permanent position in Grade 8 🎉 we may be remote again but I know we’ll make the most of it 🙌🏼
When the hard work pays off ♥️ how sweet is this!! Also, note the 3 different variations they sent (PowerPoint, slides and video) 😂 can you tell we were virtual all year??
We made our own @unlearn_com posters and tweets to go with them! This was part of a bigger, essay writing assignment but we used tweets to learn about the importance of a concise message today. @VEN_HDSB
