EO Jonah visited Caldwell Road Elementary last week to have some fun and engage with the 2025 Watts Off Energy Challenge most efficient team: The Air Breathers! A great time was had by all! #Wattsoff2025 @efficiencyns @thinkwellshift @CRES_HRCE @mnmelvin3 @HRCE_NS

Here are some of the beautiful projects submitted to @dbdli for the 2025 African Nova Scotian History Challenge. @CRES_HRCE

Power down and get outside! We had a lot of fun on our winter scavenger hunt walk today!! Week 5 of the #WattsOff2025 Energy Challenge @GreenSchools_NS! @CRES_HRCE

Wear a sweater and turn down the heat!! Week 5 of the #WattsOff2025 Energy Challenge @GreenSchools_NS! @CRES_HRCE

Be a Green Hero!! Students created this bulletin board to help others think of ways to unplug. Bonus - They used old cutouts that were being thrown out by another teacher. Week 4 of the #WattsOff2025 Energy Challenge @GreenSchools_NS! @CRES_HRCE

Week 3 of the #WattsOff2025 Energy Challenge @GreenSchools_NS is all about phantom power! @CRES_HRCE

Week 2 of the #WattsOff2025 Energy Challenge @GreenSchools_NS is here and we've been turning out the lights at school and at home! @CRES_HRCE

Week 1 of the #WattsOff2025 Energy Challenge @GreenSchools_NS is underway and we are thinking about small ways we can conserve energy in the classroom! @CRES_HRCE

We are so excited to begin the #WattsOff2025 Energy Challenge @GreenSchools_NS. Students have chosen our team name and have begun to work on a collaborative bulletin board! @CRES_HRCE

This has become one of my favourite projects! Students create amusement parks, make a brochure for it, and then create a model of their park. Thanks @AlexMcPherson7 for the original idea. @CRES_HRCE

Schoolwide student-led conferences @CRES_HRCE were a huge success! Students were so proud of the work they chose to share and watching families play our learning games together was amazing!

My school's PTO is holding an online 50/50 raffle and it is now live! Funds raised will support us making technology improvements such as Makerspace supplies and AV equipment. The draw date is April 10th. rafflebox.ca/raffle/cres/13

The teamwork, problem solving, and perseverance shown by students during this 30-minute challenge was intense! @CRES_HRCE

After listening to the book, we worked with our learning buddies in our new makerspace and came up with some fantastic ideas for how to catch a leprachaun. @CRES_HRCE

@HuestisMrs @HRCE_NS @JahMilaMusic1 @BrookhouseElem Always happy to help 🪡❤️ 🧵!

This month our Caldwell News Network created a video for our assembly on resilence by connecting their understnding of this word to several influential African Nova Scotians. @CRES_HRCE @brilliant_labs

Our @dbdli project has been submitted! We learned a lot about the 52 African Nova Scotian Communities as we researched, created, and shared our game with other classes. @CRES_HRCE

Beginning the transformation of the learning commons maker space. Many hands so many more hands can Explore, Play, Create @CRES_HRCE

Our new math unit is underway! Students are working on estimating angle sizes using their benchmark protractor. They made great use of their mental math skills to make reasonable estimates. @CRES_HRCE

@Mme_Hunter @CRES_HRCE Of course!!

@mnmelvin3 @CRES_HRCE Oh la la - can you share?!?

We are learning about non-fiction text features and how they can help readers. Lots of movement, lots of discussion, lots of learning. @CRES_HRCE
