These haunted mansions are always a hit and a perfect writing opportunity this time of year. #grade3 #mauricecody

Teaching students about forces. Why not create a mini putt in your classroom with a metre stick and a ball. Our record was 3 strokes. #STEAM #Grade3

Inspired by @thehomeedit decided to organize my classroom picture books by colour.

What do you do when you have less students in class because of an increase in Covid cases at your school? You build bridges! #structures
