Gr12 Claire facilitated her Upcycle/Repairing Clothes Workshop lunch session she's been planning for her #Clothing4Climate project! Students brought in clothes & repaired them by adding iron-on patches, sewing or upcycling to create dog toys & scrunchies 🐶👕 @LetsTalkScience

Tuesday we facilitated our 5th GROWgirls+ conference in Oxford County! Gr 9 Female, Non-Binary & 2-Spirit youth came together for a day of collaboration & community building. A huge thank you to our community partners & student leaders who made it possible @TVDSB @cityofwoodstock

This year I brought back collaborative or hands-on components to my final assessments in IDC Leadership & Geography at @HuronPark While rotating Students were excited to call me over and share their connections! #engaged #triangulation #differentiation

It was great getting the opportunity to continue the learning from Relationship Firsts today with @DrDavidTranter ! As I walk away I'm reflecting on how I can be more purposeful in being a Gardener versus a Carpenter & reflecting on strategies 🌱 #wellbeing #TheThirdPath #TVDSB

Thank you @danarppe for a great @TVDSB PD session on exploring nature through Geocaching & giving us time in the field to try out activities with your expertise. HPSS is looking forward to putting our GPS devices to use! 🧭 #CrossCurricular #Numeracy #Geography #DigitalLiteracy

The 4th GROWgirls+ Conference is a wrap! 400+ Gr 9 female identifying, non binary & 2-Spirit youth from ALL Oxford County Schools came together for a day of empowerment, collaboration & positivity. Student Leaders did a great job planning the day & running breakout sessions 🎉

Robots in Geography! Students are designing & building robots with @LetsTalkScience STEM Kits to help the management of Canada's natural resources! Some will plant trees, while others will detect our fake oil spills. Final results to come! @HuronPark @TVDSB_STEM

HPSS & @CollegeavenueSS combined for a Leadership Retreat last weekend, where we focused on reflection, problem solving and had a Guest speaker lead a workshop for Students. Student Voice makes me think this will be an annual event! @TVDSB #community #leadership

Trying out hexagonal thinking as we learn about #LandformRegions After connecting hexagons Students ventured around the room to add annotations to each others & create their model. Students & I agree we will try it again to make connections in future topics. @HuronPark

Providing multiple access points for Students to demonstrate their understanding has resulted with increased engagement & completion of tasks in my L/P/D Geography Class compared to prior years! #Geography #MeetThemWhereTheyreAt #Confidence

This is a great reference as an Educator as we respond to behaviour in our classes and hallways.

Thank you for having us! We can't wait to return! 😃

Last month @HuronPark @CollegeavenueSS & London Central Leadership Students collaborated for a team building camping trip!🏕 We're excited to continue to collaborate this & build our network of student leaders! Thanks to @TVDSB Outdoor Funding for making the cost equitable!

Tomorrow is wiring day! Gr 11s in Natural Disasters are building their Smart Homes that have sensors powered by #microbits The crew went directly for their models on Friday as they entered the room- great to see their excitement & engagement as we learn together! @TVDSB_STEM

Gr 9s worked together in 3's to complete challenges that led them to a key in ice that they had to thaw after identifying Heat & Pressure in the rock cycle to unlock their prize. It was a fun teambuilding, #formative activity that I love to start the year off! @TVDSB @HuronPark

Thanks to @HuronPark Geography & Science Sustainability Challenge we have 5 solar panel charging stations! Not only did Students discover they can charge cellphones, but they also charge our Chromebooks! @TVDSB @SDG2030

Almost there! Very excited to be trying out the #Defront strategy for Geography classes! I'm lucky to have an awesome mentor, Andre, who's implemented this learning environment for YEARS to connect with, along w @HuronPark Math & Science classes, who are trying it out too!
