Lots of lessons on Appeal Factors here at C.W. Perry School - quickly created a place to highlight Dystopian, Action-Packed, Graphic Novels, Novels in Verse, etc.. in the Learning Commons.

Welcome Rocky View’s newest teachers! We started in a good way with Greg, Lori & Sharon offering words of encouragement and support. We worked collaboratively on a BTC assessment task, had work time in a choice board, and found resources to support teaching and learning. #RVSed

BTC with a focus on Problem Solving at Crossfield Elementary School this morning. What a fun staff! Thanks for having us - we always enjoy our time at CES! Have a wonderful start-up! @rvsed

Kindergarteners working on their sharing, cooperation & problem solving skills @SarahThompsonSc using Building Thinking Classrooms. They climbed out of the ‘Learning Pit’ and solved the Farm Animal problem! #RVSed

Writing Assessment work continues this year with Gr. 11, 9 & 8 RVS Teachers. Thanks to the teachers who collaborate with us to create & calibrate the rubrics based on Ss writing samples. (Also thankful for highlighters and caffeine!) ☺️ #RVSed @RobertsJaner @carbocaro

The Numeracy Room @RJHawkey is a hub of learning where Ss are put into random groups and introduced to hands-on, engaging math games/centres that can be taken back to their classrooms to enjoy in their own spaces! #flexibleseating #rotations #randomgroups #collaboration #RVSed
