Painting dough landforms to understand earth's physical features and natural processes for Ms. Ma’s geography. From mountains, grasslands to islands, we studied topographical maps around the world to create our own colourful landforms! #geography#landforms#peeleml
More "hands-on" learning with Ms. Ma to create landforms to study the characteristics of land and how humans have adapted to them. #landforms#geography#playdough
Ms. Ma showed us through the use of sprinkles to represent the pollution affecting our precious drinking water.
As learned how rivers are all connected to lakes and oceans. It is so important for us to take care of our watershed. #geography#water#hillsideinspires
Ms. Wilms shared about a high school software tool called “My Blueprint”. Ss prepared a simulated selection of their high school courses as well as learning the steps for their post secondary and career opportunities #education#peeleml#hillsideinspires
Thank you Ms. Wilms for sharing insight about #highschool life and the steps involved with getting ready for next year’s grade eight year. #successmindset#hillsideinspires
Ms. Ma was back again with another hands on Geography lesson. This time the focus was a land reclamation lesson that was literally very sweet. Students mined and created breakwater barriers for our reclaimed cookie islands! #landreclamation#geography#hillsideinspires
Parents asked me about screen time. Too broad. Ask me about the impact of social media on kids and yourselves. Echo chambers and brain candy. Be mindful. The quality of the screen matters. #thefutureofeducation#nuancematters
It was a busy day with Ss working on their #GoalSetting task for LA. Later on Ss were challenged to work with numbers in a magic square. How else might we work through challenges? #peeleml#engagemath
Ss take ownership for goal setting for the school year. We looked at planning to succeed this year and to prepare for our futures. How might we prepare to be successful this year and build our legacy? Thank you Ms. Lewis! #GoalSetting#peeleml
A Ss chose to teach the class about Bedmas/Pedmas in math today. The class helped the student to solve the work. How else might Ss continue to share their knowledge and have their voices heard? #mathschat#peeleml
Ss worked to apply the new math curriculum’s Social Emotional Learning (SEL). We communicate our math strategies and then applied the strategies to see the effect. How might a positive mindset better help us to learn math? #peeleml#mathchat
