We were inspired by the affirmations we heard on the announcements this month! We made our own affirmations and posted them up for us to see everyday! @brisdaleps We are even working on them in French too! @Agnes_Grigg @EmmPenn32
For Anti-Bullying Awareness week we wore odd socks, to show we are all different and valuable. All students in the class were invited to get in the picture even if they forgot their odd socks. I felt the unity .@brisdaleps @ateachertweet @HeatherbrMurphy @mtnfarm66
Today community was built and strengthened. One student shared his football skills with us. We enjoyed the sunshine, enjoyed the stuggle, laughed together, played together and encouraged each other. Thank you @DellaLataille and Ms. Conacher for joining us! @Agnes_Grigg @mtnfarm66

The entire class enjoyed the book When I Get Older and doing sketch notes to visualize. Next step is to write sentences, paragraphs and some students will write the story behind the song Wavin’ Flag. It also tied into Pink Shirt Day well.@mtnfarm66 @KCGadoo @DellaLataille

This week we learned about fishermen being paid to retrieve old fishing gear from the ocean and that it was sometimes repurposed. Our STEM meet this Friday was about repurposing. Students made a blueprint first. Even my four year old was an engineer! @TheSTEMedSpace @mtnfarm66

After listening to the book Hidden Figures and watching the movie trailer, we identified the issues the women faced in them. We explored Jamboard as a means to collaborate in real time. I was proud. @TheSTEMedSpace @mtnfarm66 @KCGadoo
During Community, we explored Jamboard and brainstormed our hidden talents! Being able to put pictures and a few words is helping all students join in! Next step, turn it into a slide deck for guessing ! My hidden talent is ballet shhhh! @mtnfarm66 @DellaLataille @Agnes_Grigg

Today we did it again ... community through drama. I typed the sentence in the chat that needed to read with expression. More people presented this way than in my in-person class! We smiled, we laughed, we read, and we had fun together. @mtnfarm66 @DellaLataille @KCGadoo
During the community period I saw smiles, I heard laughter ....... something that has been missing in my online classroom. Students sent me a picture of something they liked to do. We guessed. We enjoyed being together. @mtnfarm66 @Sophie_KWilson @DellaLataille @KCGadoo
Today we used what we had at home to make art! Students had a choice to make laundry art or be inspired by Giuseppe Arcimboldo and make “fruit art”. My own boys joins in and we made the laundry art. I loved seeing all the creativity! @mtnfarm66 @KCGadoo @DellaLataille

Today I read a wonderful tale recommended by @mtnfarm66 . We had a good discussion about consumerism verses simply enjoying each others’ company this season. Then we experimented with how to create texture using play-doh. Beautiful creations grade 4 artists ! @brisdaleps
