We played 200 or bust in teams to practice adding up to 200. Students were a tad excited! See comment for instructions…

Sound on. We went outside today to collect sensory details to write spring poems. I think I will be seeing a lot of poems about the wind! 🌬️😂 #PoetryMonth @AndreaDignam

Students were so engaged today at our session with the informative and talented @MASConline First Nations artist Amanda Fox. @KanataHighlands

Forget worksheets! Create a template that allows students choice and room to show their thinking, and lets them work without pressure to “finish the sheet.”

I love when you see an instructional strategy really work. Daily number talks have led 2C to having such great flexible thinking about numbers!

An open task that engages students by allowing choice and creativity, and provides an opportunity to bridge concepts of skip-counting, repeated addition, and multiplication in Gr. 2/3.

How many different ways can you arrive at an answer of 24 is a great open question for Gr 3. One student told me “One of the things I admire about you is how you ask a question, smile, and then walk away!”😂

That magical moment in the Spring of Grade 2 when your daily structured phonics and syntax lessons leads to students researching, jot-noting and writing paragraphs about the solar eclipse independently!

2C and 2/3A had busy minds as they worked on representing and solving some fraction problems together. #thinkingclassroom @Wipebook
