It was a big hit! 🤩 Today we completed a digital escape room using @googlecanada to reaffirm what we discussed during our lesson on mental health/stress. 🔑🔒 @TILTHRCE @HRCE_NS @EllenvaleJrHigh

As we wrap-up learning about communicable diseases, students were given the opportunity to create their own communicable disease. Once designed they created their disease at the cellular level. Other students have loved looking at what they created! @HRCE_NS @EllenvaleJrHigh

Student posters are up! Students have been working hard on creating their own food/kitchen safety posters using knowledge from class lessons. Now they are on display in our kitchen! @EllenvaleJrHigh @HRCEHealthPromo @HRCE_NS

Spent the day with the littles today! 🌈🌟 Big fan of how we ended our day with ‘play to learn’. Great opportunity for communication, teamwork, problem solving, and creativity! “Ms. Shortt look what I made!”

Prompting classroom movement in JH Today I put worksheets in all corners of the classroom. Not only did this avoid everyone crowding in one space, but it had everyone out of their chairs and moving after independent reading (even if it was brief). #edutwitter #teachersoftwitter

Quick exit activity after a first library visit today! After going over expectations we had a nice first visit to the JH library! Before the period ended students jotted down, and signed, a point about what the library looks + sounds like to them. #edutwitter #teachertwitter
