Our learning of natural resources continues! Today we learned about Indigenous uses of cedar, how to harvest it and then practiced weaving with cat tails! #sd33learns

Finding plants in the back field! Using the ethnobotany kit to identify plants and learn about their uses. #sd33learns

Earlier this week we learned about various fishing and animals resources of Sto:lo People. Engaging and hands on for students to understand First Peoples natural resource methods. #sd33learns

Started w/ a bar graph survey of stories then students worked in groups to read a story, retell it, & identify the big idea. Roles were reader, recorder & sharer. We came together & heard the findings from each group! They had fun & practiced literacy skills! #sd33learns

Ss solved a problem of how many bikes, scooter and car wheels could make up 33 wheels. Was incredibly impressed by the thinking and representing this group did! Using shapes that have the same amount of sides as wheels. Legend and visual patterning. #sd33learns

Fall art ❤️🍂🍁

Another engaging morning of math! We were lucky enough to have @CLodders10 lead us through a thinking classrooms lesson! So impressed to see my students hard at work in teams! #sd33learns

Reflecting on our learning after exploring different math games in small groups. We learned more than just math content during that time! #sd33

Great morning exploring math games that help support FSA content areas! #sd33learns @CurriculumSd33

Practicing bar graphs via vertical learning. We did a whole class survey then students worked in teams to represent the info on a bar graph. Lots of great conversations and team work! #sd33learns

Introduced vertical learning today! Students worked in groups to refresh their memories of place value via the snap format. Great snapshot for teamwork, leaders and flexible thinking! #sd33learns #thinkingclassroom

Split the kiddos into random groups and they had to find things in common then build a tower! Wonderful community building! #sd33learns

favourite bulletins and favourite books ❤️📚 already can tell i have some real book lovers in my class!

Working on equivalent fractions and comparing/ordering! We ❤️ math! Thanks for the helpful video @CLodders10 #sd33learns

A few chapters in and my mind is 🤯. A key take away so far: conversations about our processes for applying strategies and solving equations is so important! #sd33learns

Relational Rod number talk followed by the game “Oh no 99!” #sd33learns #sd33numeracy

So grateful for all your help making this happen Paul!

Whiteboard splash of our math word problems we created during Downtown School! #sd33learns

So much work and planning went into making Downtown School happen. Can’t believe it’s come to an end! The learning our community provided was one of a kind! Can’t wait to plan more week long learning adventures in the future! #sd33learns

Final day of Downtown School! What a week it’s been! We visited @PeeJayAitch at the Chwk Progress and then ventured to the court house where we talked with sheriffs, a judge and a defense lawyer! Afterwards we shared our highlights from the week! #sd33learns
