Such a great day at the Middle School Battle of the Books! We were so excited to be back in person again. #RVSed
Energy was high for our annual Middle School Battle of the Books. Read & study 12 books as a team and answer questions. Very tight battle with @cwperryschool earning the banner in the end. Thx all coaches & organizers. #RVsed
How might we build and share our stories using loose parts? Grade 2’s @heronscrossing created some beautiful stories in the Learning Commons this morning! @LifeInTheLLC #rvsed #storyworkshop

Creating Essential Questions from our research topic and teasing out the keywords to help us search our sources @heronscrossing learning commons today - ss used keywords for a competitive index search! @KerryKindermann @LifeInTheLLC #rvsed #abed #teamwork #researchers
As a teacher and parent I know how crowded our schools are! It takes time to build schools. Please share!
Rocky View Schools desperately needs approval for new schools from the prov govt when the budget is announced. By fall of 2026, we will have more students than spaces across all our 52 schools. Learn more & help share our story. youtu.be/aRfKENtMfrA #RVSed #RVStrustees
Grade 3 students @heronscrossing collaboratively wrote haiku poems during their weekly visit to the Learning Commons. After viewing a one of my nature photographs they used their senses to brainstorm words and then created these beautiful poems! @LifeInTheLLC #rvsed #joyofreading
Grade 1 students & their families had fun playing with literacy @heronscrossing tonight for our first ever Family Literacy Night! Loved seeing our Ss showing their families all the games we’ve been learning & playing in the Learning Commons! @LifeInTheLLC #rvsed #joyofreading
Grade Six students @heronscrossing are competitive! Adding a game component and teamwork made practicing citations more engaging and fun! #rvsed
Gamifying (!!) citation work in the Learning Commons @heronscrossing with @LifeInTheLLC and @KerryKindermann #rvsed #abed #Engagement
Grade 1,2, and 3 students @heronscrossing love playing Don’t Drop the Snowflake. It’s easy to differentiate for a variety of skill levels and students get tons of practice with word decoding. #rvsed @LifeInTheLLC

Training our brains in grade 5 @heronscrossing school today to think about primary and secondary sources and how we can use them in our research in the learning commons with @piketeaches @KerryKindermann and @LifeInTheLLC #rvsed #abed
Grade 1 Ss @heronscrossing have been developing their literacy skills through play during their weekly visit to the learning commons. This week we introduced partner plays, the vowel race, and Feed the Animals syllable game. @LifeInTheLLC #rvsed #rvslit
Grade 5 students learned about informational text structures with @piketeaches in the Learning Commons today. Then Ss worked in small groups to identify text structures by finding signal words that are found in each text structure. @Alidajill @LifeInTheLLC #rvsed #abed #rvslit

One of the big benefits of an online teacher’s convention is the ability to go back and revisit sessions or catch a recorded session that was missed while attending another session. I keep finding new sessions to add to my schedule! #pdtc22
Starting my morning off with @MichaelUngerPhD and thinking about resilience through a new lens. Resilience is not about our ability to bounce back, but rather our ability to navigate to and negotiate for resources that sustain our well-being. #pdtc22
