Shout out to @vickiloujohnson for this activity. So many incredible stories have been shared. The best part? Watching students, teachers, and staff lingering at the board, and learning - mostly through images - these diverse immigration stories of our @connectcharter families.

Part of the grade 7 curriculum is learning about how immigration and migration shaped Canada. My students interviewed family members to hear their family’s immigration story. They were then tasked with creating a mosaic tile to tell their story. I love how they turned out!

Finished reading this and am passing it on to teachers in my building. If you want practical strategies, evidence-based thought and process, and confirmation that embracing AI is a good movement - READ THIS.

This whole scene, oh god.
Each one of them, carrying a piece of the Believe sign, like a good luck charm. A talisman. I was crying at this scene oh my god this is EVERYTHING 😭😭

Had the opportunity to co-create and work with @vickiloujohnson on a short unit on persuasive techniques. Students researched and took note of how persuasion is used in a political campaign, and then developed their own. Today they showcased their work!

A quote from one of my students today: “I’m only 12 and I’m worried for our political future.” 👌🏻 #vote #AlbertaElection2023

I love how amazing my students’ 2-page spreads are. There has been so much growth since September! They have one more to do for their current novels, so I gave them a few examples from their classmates to inspire them. I also gave them each a goal for this last round.

I started a second round of book clubs in my grade 7 classes today with a focus on human impact. The books include: ‘Two Degrees’ by Alan Gratz, ‘Endling the Last’ by Katherine Applegate, ‘The Strangers’ by Margaret Peterson Haddix, and ‘The Testing’ by Joelle Charbonneau.

After we spent weeks learning about figurative language, analyzing many poems with various themes, and annotating their favourite poem, I asked my grade 7 classes to write a poem about a topic of their choice. I was blown away by their poems, so here are a few! @CalgaryAcademy

My 2 grade 7 ELA classes started off the month with these 8 poems facing off for our Poetry Smackdown. After analyzing all 8 poems, we voted until we had our final 2. Interestingly, both classes had a different final two, but the same poem ended up winning in both. /1

@vickiloujohnson @LindaMRief @CalgaryAcademy If I was a bit closer to your timeline it would have been great to have our students switch and give each other feedback. I’ll probably be 2-weeks behind you.

I embarked on a flash fiction unit with my 2 grade 7 classes this week. We annotated multiple texts to identify the elements of flash fiction writing. This is what both classes found. I can’t wait for them to start writing their own pieces next week! @LindaMRief @CalgaryAcademy
