This lesson is designed as a summative assessment at the end of the Comparing Countries Unit. The students will celebrate the end of the unit by participating in a Mexican Fiesta Day. The teacher can choose to prepare a Mexican dish for the class, or provide treats for the students. The teacher can also allow students to dress up, listen to Mexican music and/or participate in Mexican styled games if time permits. Students will be required to present their final project in a positive and exciting environment. The students will be given a choice board of project options prior to Mexican Fiesta Day.
Students will be required to answer a minimum of 5 of the key questions in whichever project option they’ve selected. How they express and present the information will be manipulated into the project of their choice.

In partners, students researched, illustrated, and recorded a section of our classroom digital storybook about First Nations way of living. Students worked with a partner to research a topic given to them about the Plains First Nations. Various topics such as hunting techniques, transportation, homes, food, clothing, education, recreation, and religion were assigned to the partners to research. Students wrote jot notes using a graphic organizer. Once they finished their research they wrote a descriptive paragraph on their topic. Each partner was then responsible to illustrate a picture that would represent their paragraph that they wrote. Once students had typed up their good copy of their paragraphs, and finished their illustrations they spilt up their paragraph to decide who would read what part. Students rehearsed reading their paragraphs out loud to each other before they recorded their voices on the IPad. As each group was ready to record they then used the IPad to take a picture using the camera of their illustration and uploaded it into the app. Students then recorded their voices using the app.

SOIL is a writing pattern based on the book by Margaret Wise Brown. Read the story and let the kids guess what the important thing about each item is. They all like joining in at the last line. This lesson can be done with any theme. I put this together as a culminating ELA activity for our soil unit.

My goal this year was to include more opportunities for students to work collaboratively and develop their critical thinking skills at the same time. The example I have chosen for my artifact is an invitation I created for our final Science unit, Rocks and Minerals. I included this invitation in my centers and this allowed students a great deal of time to explore and examine the station independently. The students loved it and it was a very popular place in our classroom! I created the invitation by gathering the rocks and minerals books and materials that we had in our school. Students were then given opportunity just to explore the rocks and minerals station before we even began the unit. Once we began the unit students began to add materials to the exploration station in the classroom.

My goal was to transform the learning environment from a traditional atmosphere to a student-led learning experience. Essentially, I have become the facilitator, rather than the knowledge keeper. Students are immersed in inquiry learning.
1. The learning environment has become the third teacher in the classroom and is very important. My classroom is divided into a variety of learning zones:
- Teacher zone (an area near the smart board – could be defined with a carpet and invite kids to come closer)
- Student tables – students work in pods of 4 (which have replaced all the desks)
- Reading corner (leveled books line a bookshelf. Mats and bean bag chairs were purchased)
- Walking lanes – a simple line on the floor where kids can go and wear off a little energy or to get their minds thinking
- Horse shoe table for guided instruction
- Small table for an individual work area
- Bulletin Boards – have consciously tried to have them interactive (RAN Chart and Parking Lot, homemade whiteboards)
2. For student supplies, a caddy is in the middle of each table for shared supplies. All other personal supplies are stored in baskets and put in their lockers

The goal of my 21 Century Learning project was for students to use collaboration and communication into preparing a showcase of their learning for parents, administration and each other. The showcase would also include some technological components of their learning by using iPad tools. Twice in the school year, students prepared a showcase of their learning. They assembled their showcase of their learning and presented it in a mock interview to peers. They then presented their showcases to parents. There was a combination of paper, project, and digital samples of learning. The students followed a script which is included. Students used the Reproducibles from the book Self-Assessment and Goal Setting to guide the self-selection of their learning samples.

Students from a grade 6 class at Sk’aadgaa Naay Elementary School on Haida Gwaii (Queen Charlotte Island, BC) were partnered with a grade 5/6 class from Kenaston, Saskatchewan. The partners conversed via email and Skype which resulted in a comparison of living in an isolated remote location with living in rural Saskatchewan. The collaborative project was centred around the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. The partnerships were given an Olympic event that they had to research and collaboratively create a Power Point presentation using Google Docs

Students will work in small groups to cooperatively to complete a Fermi math problem. Fermi math challenges students to solve seemingly complicated questions using estimation, rounding, approximations, analytical thinking, creative thinking, communication, and technology skills. The students will investigate the driving question: If you wanted to send a valentine card to each person in the world next year:
• how many boxes of packaged valentines will you need to purchase?
• how much will it cost for you to purchase and mail all of the cards?
• if everyone in the world sent a valentine to everyone else in the world, how many valentines in total would be sent?
