Students went through so many iterations to get to their final product. Working with circuits, coding, redesigning their structures as they thought about our scale, all these skills went into the making of their city. @pattersonsclass @DesmondHDSB @HDSBScienceTech @microbit_edu

Grade 8s finally showcased their year long integrated inquiry with the big idea of Sustainability. So much learning and reflecting went into this.We are so proud of their final piece called “Grade 8s Sustainable City of the Future” @pattersonsclass @DesmondHDSB @HDSBScienceTech

June is #PrideMonth. This month, and beyond, the #HDSB celebrates the historical and contemporary contributions of the Two-Spirit and LGBTQIA+ community. The HDSB is committed to providing a respectful environment where all students, staff, community members feel welcome.🏳️🌈
Uncovering the Pythagorean relationship using visuals created by @MakeMathMoments. Multiple strategies were used to solve these problems & visualizing squares off the sides of triangles helped students see the why behind the formula. @HDSBMath @DesmondHDSB
Students tinkered w/#microbits, uncovering coding curriculum & making connections to our sci/geo inquiry around sustainability. @InkSmith3D climate action kits have inspired many ideas to add movement in what students are working on to share @ our June exhibition. @Ms_E_Elliott
What a difference 3 weeks make! Yesterday, we did some taste testing of a few of the herbs we're growing, and today, we spotted the first flower on one of the bean plants! @HDSBCCEL @DesmondHDSB
We took time today to explore&tinker w/circuits. Students shared they were online for electricity in gr6 & missed hands-on explorations. So much value&learning in providing provocations & seeing what learning unfolds&connections they made to our term2 inquiry! @Ms_E_Elliott
Such a great afternoon supporting gr3&4 friends as they work through the #engineeringdesignprocess. 82 demonstrated great leadership as a coach to support & encourage along the way, while letting the 3&4s lead the learning. @DesmondHDSB @HDSBScienceTech @MadameArsicot

Our seedings were big enough to plant in our wall & tower systems! So much excitement from our gr8s & curious onlookers as we transplanted the seedlings to their permanent homes. Thx again to Dennis @ Plantwell & and the support from @TDFEF! @Ms_E_Elliott @belfordl @HDSBCCEL

Exciting things are happening in Grade 8! Ss planted seeds today after learning from Dennis our community partner at Plant Well Inc, how our new wall/vertical garden systems work and how to maintain them. We also planted seeds for our tower gardens! @DesmondHDSB @pattersonsclass
They gr8s have started planting seeds, which will eventually head to our new vertical systems, thanks to a grant from @TDFEF. We're excited to share what we're growing with the @DesmondHDSB community! @Ms_E_Elliott @HDSBCCEL
Our gr8s did an incredible job combining the science of mechanical systems w/storytelling to create cardboard automata & sharing their work to our school community. Thanks to all the classes that came to share in our learning! @Ms_E_Elliott @DesmondHDSB @HDSBScienceTech

Exciting things happening in Grade 8 as we begin our inquiry on Sustainability. Thank you to our community partner Dennis at PlantWellInc for engaging our students with all your knowledge and providing us with a such amazing equipment! @pattersonsclass @DesmondHDSB @belfordl
Lots of fun tinkering with microbits as we begin to uncover how to code with them. There were some pretty epic rock, paper, scissor battles happening! @DesmondHDSB @ms_emilyhorner @microbit_edu
This week we went to a local storm pond to collect water & plant samples & this afternoon we were able to observe our samples under the microscopes. @DesmondHDSB @HDSBScienceTech
Ending the week off spending time together as a Grade 8 team, exploring different techniques using watercolours. @DesmondHDSB @Ms_E_Elliott @ms_emilyhorner
Learning to use microscopes today with the "e" lab-a great way to learn how the orientation of the slide appears under a microscope. practice using coarse & fine adjustments and how the different objectives work @DesmondHDSB @HDSBScienceTech
