Grade 2/3s Teaching Grade 5/6

The grade 2/3s were busy the other day teaching the grade 5/6 class how to use 'Show Me,' as well as how to both air drop and airplay their work! It was a great experience! We followed it up the next day by teaching the grade 7/8s how to use google classroom!

Grade 4 Waste Audit

Today Gr. 4 welcomed Peterborough Green Up. We conducted a waste audit together.  This allowed us to practice our estimation and mass measurement skills.  Now we are ready to set goals to be an even greener school!

Using Google Drive During Parent Teacher Interviews

I have always found that sharing samples of student work during parent/teacher interview time has been a beneficia practice. The classroom IPad has allowed me to easily access electronic copies of student work that have been stored in Google Drive. This has been very useful because it has given me an opportunity to highlight key observations at the click of a button.  Sharing these observations with parents and communicating the chosen direction of a student's individualized goal pathway has been very well received.  I think this may be an excellent way to start delving into Student-Led Conferences in the future. Very excited to have this method of communication accessible to my students and parents.

Gr. 4 Stop Action Action

We are exploring Stop Action movie making using Lego MovieMaker.  Students were very engaged!  We plan to use this app again soon.

Hollywood,here I come!

I am now a movie producer, thanks to the power of Lego Movie Maker. We have been using this fun and interactive app to share our learning in Science. Students have made stop animation movies of their body systems. This has been fun and engaging but also a great tool for students who struggle with written tasks as they have a polished piece to share that they can be proud of. We are still figuring how to add sound, so right now I am going for the Oscars in the Silent Film categories. Next stage of the learning curve may get us an Oscar for Best Film

overall.
