Playing a similar game to snakes and ladders but it counts by 10's all the way to 1000!

Working on our knowledge of base 10, standard form and expanded form in numbers up to 1000.

What's in the soil? We went to the school yard to find out.

We read the story our class is a family and created bracelets, each colour symbolizing something different. Red for kindness, orange for respect, yellow for being ourselves, green for being different, blue for sticking together, purple for making memories and pink for learning together.

Our class wrapped up our 3rd lesson of swim to survive last Thursday. The kids did great trying something new and being brave to do something outside of their comfort zone. #lifeskills #swimtosurvive

A few weeks ago I got to travel to the World Robotics Olympiad with 4 of our Megabrights! What a great day learning lots of new things.

Students worked hard creating urban, suburban and rural communities out of cardboard and other art supplies.

Throwback to Earth Day 🌎 We did a classic school yard cleanup and filled a whole garbage bag.

A net or not a net? We played with different ways to attach 6 squares to see if it would fold into a cube.

How can you make a stable structure? We tested out cards.

Our final day of our personal safety projects, presenting and demonstrating. A safety pillow for fire safety, a tent lock (camping safety), a lighted backpack (child safety), an inflated flotation device (water safety) and glowing safety bracelets (transportation safety).

As we end black history month, here is a throwback to last year's school wide carnival for black excellence where each class chose a country to focus on, ours being Zimbabwe. The art was inspired by Ndebele house painting.

Starting our unit on strong and stable structures! How high can you stack the cups?

The next step of our personal safety creations has been to make some life sized prototypes!

Our latest project has been to create person safety devices for health! Some students chose water safety, fire safety, travel safety and home safety. We started with drawing our ideas and designs.

It is with sad news that I share that our pumpkins have died. Lack of space, nutrients and sunlight are probably the cause. Growing pumpkins in the winter is probably not the best idea 😆

Update on our pumpkins, I replanted them on a whim as they were running out of room in tiny pots. We lost a few flowers in the process but I walked into this beauty this morning. Who knew you could grow pumpkins in January when outside is buried under 5 feet of snow and in the negative double digits

After we removed seeds from our pumpkins last fall we counted them, used them to make art and planted some. Being November, we used a grow light and to our surprise (even after a 2 week winter break) some are still growing 😁

Part 5 of creating clothing inspired by early settlers 200 years ago. Students picked a model for their clothing and strutted down a run way. As expected the clothing fell apart, sparking some great discussion.

Part 4 of creating clothing inspired by early settlers. We did one last comparison of student drawings and the finished products.

Part 3 of creating clothing inspired by early settlers in Canada. Students started cutting out pieces to be sewn together to create shirts, pants and hats.

Part 2 of creating clothing similar to early settlers in Canada 200 years ago. Using our paper templates, students cut out their designs onto jute material and learned how to sew multiple pieces together with yarn. @mrschuermann.bsky.social

Why not decorate our pumpkins? My students did a great job painting a black cat, deer, monster and bear.

teachergray.bsky.social @teachergray.bsky.social · 04/12/2025
Once the seeds were out, my students had a hard time deciding how to count the seeds. We discussed what math tools we could use, settling on hundreds charts, ten frames and grouping by tens (skip counting).

Around pumpkin season we cut open some large pumpkins and started investigating. We scooped everything out and then estimated and counted the seeds.

teachergray.bsky.social @teachergray.bsky.social · 04/12/2025
We ventured outside again and collected some soil, sticks and dead leaves to create some compost buckets. We later added some food scraps and did a lot of mixing. We added water and waited for the bucket to break down the food scraps. So far, we have some decomposition.

We love a good experiment! We have been learning about soil erosion and the different horizons (layers) of soil.

Soil may seem boring, but we decided to take a closer look to see how important it truly is.

teachergray.bsky.social @teachergray.bsky.social · 25/11/2025
Our first science unit this year was soils in the environment, so we of course had to go out into our environment to investigate.
