Making connections to our math thinking about lines and angles through our love of drawing. Up next we investigate student q's- why are angles important? How can we measure them? Why do we need to? Northridge PS London

So grateful J. Clark-Shody teaches my little one - my grade 5s explored Makey Makeys thanks to her inspiration! We are set to start the coding for our interactive book reflections Monday. They can't wait! Northridge PS London TVDSB STEM

We coded our interactive reflections on "Front Desk" today thanks to a great how-to video we found from Derek Tangredi Ss began to connect the Makey Makey and test their code. Making thinking visible both visually and orally. The recorded audio clips are so insightful! Northridge PS London

So excited to be back again as a contract teacher after leaving Peel, this time with Thames Valley School Board at the wonderful Tweedsmuir Public School ! Can't wait!

I stopped giving detentions when I finally understood that behaviour is a form of communication. I was punishing the act, rather than trying to understand the root cause of it - and when I finally did, I was typically more sad than I was angry.

EDUCATORS and LIBRARIANS! Want to greet your new students with new books?! I’ve got about 120 elementary and Middle Grade books to give away—half here, half on Instagram. To enter to win half here: follow me and RT this tweet. Bonus entry: tag a pal who may want to enter too!

Reflecting on the “All About Me Poster”. We can’t expect our Ss to reveal so many important parts of their intersectional identities when we have only just begun to nurture trusting relationships. THIS.TAKES.TIME. How might maps be a starting point? More on our post Instagram

It was the best first day at Tweedsmuir Public School ! We did some STEM challenges, used a lot of hot glue (!) made apple towers, told jokes, learned about our school, and just talked together. Such a great day to connect with each child. Relationships first!

We had the BEST TIME learning about the field of engineering, exploring states of matter, and learning about Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids by making oobleck during a special STEM literacy week program. "Nothing without joy" ❤️ TVDSB STEM Tweedsmuir Public School

We have been returning to our classroom agreements often to expand on and add to our initial ideas. Stories, discussions, and just living in our space together has contributed to new ideas. Living documents to return to as we move forward together

The First 10 Days of STEM in Gr. 1-8 is ready to launch Thames Valley DSB. Hands on learning experiences have been included to provide Ts and Ss with opportunities to explore and develop Strand A: STEM Skills and Connections. Check it out here: bit.ly/TVDSBfirst10ST…

The best ! This was so fun! And terrifying 😂🧡 thanks for including us! Diana McAvoy Rebecca Channer

So many access points for learners at different spots on their math and coding journeys. Thanks for making it so engaging!

Exploring Lego Spike Prime today for the first time. Playing with the software while working on coding a solution for Kiki the Lego dog. We loved the colour sensors & adding our own sounds as we created coding stories and ran the program for our classmates Tweedsmuir Public School

A provocation to continue our thinking about sustainability, energy, and electricity. Looking forward to how students will use the EDP to prototype, code, and share solutions to some of the issues we are seeing and reading about in the gaming world Tweedsmuir Public School

We tested our controllers today and it was awesome. Found that Ss were so much more invested in fixing issues and making changes when something didn't work - probably our best problem solving and persevering this year Tweedsmuir Public School

A few student hacks to complete the circuit but still have two hands to play the games 👌 Tweedsmuir Public School

Hoping to win $500.00 for our snack program Tweedsmuir Public School our guesses: A: cucumber B: cantaloupe and C: broccoli ! #OsnpM @OsnpM
