We had so much fun snowshoeing in Bragg Creek today!

The grade fives worked as a team to bring power back to our lives! They were able to make working flashlights and set alarms on doors, to ensure the burglars (trying to steal our electricity) stayed out! Most importantly, we shared a lot of laughs and smiles! @connectcharter

Today we’re doing a day without electricity! The students think there was an EMP that wiped out the power in our classroom. They’ve been tasked with bringing the power back, and will need to scavenge for conductive materials and power sources. Wish us luck! @connectcharter

Inquiring into Indigenous Peoples’ stories and oral traditions!

Spent a double DPA block playing hockey, skating, and snowshoeing! If there was a world record for how many skates you could tie in 20 minutes, I think I would have beat it ⛸🏒@connectcharter

We enjoyed some waffles, fruit, and hot chocolate, as we watched the Caldecott awards this morning! After spending a few weeks analyzing and eliminating over 40 books, one of our classes selected the actual winner! #TheUndefeated #caldecottmedal @connectcharter

Had an amazing day of land-based learning with @connectcharter and @Tsuutina_Ed! We may not have caught any fish, but we had a wonderful time trying.

Our @ConnectCharter grade 5s had a blast celebrating #CSEW2019 and Hour of Code this morning using #SwiftPlaygrounds! #EveryoneCanCode #AppleDistinguishedSchools

Today some of the children at @connectcharter spent their lunch break exploring velocity, by measuring the firing speed of various different Nerf gun models. Their next step is to make modifications, and then retest. Exciting stuff!

Spent an hour coding with the grade 5s at Connect Charter! They make it look easy 👍🏽

Amazing! Bringing learning to life in real and authentic ways.

Today I had the privilege of leading the Mount Royal University, Bachelor of Education, fourth years through my first smudge! Setting good intentions and goals for our last few classes in Indigenous Perspectives, before we are in the classrooms!
