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!

It was nothing short of a masterclass on exemplary citizenship from @lyricalpitbull today for these grade 7 students (and teachers) @connectcharter

Day one with @lyricalpitbull and these kids who think that poetry is “SO boring” were hanging off his every word. One of the biggest cynics even said, “What a fun afternoon!” Next week these lucky students start their journey of “writing change into the world.” @connectcharter

Literacy is not exclusive to the language arts classroom…it lives in ALL classrooms…it just looks and sounds different depending on the discipline
How should students read, write, & think like a scientist, historian, mathematician, or literary scholar? These lists "can act as starting points through which teachers can begin to think in terms of disciplinary literacy." https://t.co/brgv6OohEQ

Grade 7s @connectcharter took grade 5s on a cross-Canada tour today to learn about historical events and policies that have led to government apologies and compensation. Children’s books, animations, and even a rap were a few of the mediums used to tell these crucial stories.

Today we visited Beaumont-Hamel. On the first day of the Battle of the Somme in 1916, the NFLD Regiment was devastated. Of the 800 who went into battle that morning, only 68 were able to answer the call the next day. It is a beautiful and powerful tribute 🇨🇦

The visible thinking routine Chalk Talk never disappoints. We used it today to capture thinking around big ideas related to our new inquiry question: What responsibilities do governments have to redress historical wrongs? @connectcharter
