"Baba Yaga the Flying Witch" from Usborne's Illustrated Stories from Around the World is read aloud.

This historical fiction story takes place in 1932 in the midst of the Great Depression in New York City. Baseball was king and Babe Ruth was at the top of his game. In this story, a young boy and his father become a team as they both work to support their family.

"Programme offert par le Baccaulauréat en éducation française (le Bac) à la Faculté d'éducation.

Si vous souhaitez enseigner dans une école francophone, dans une école d'immersion française ou dans une école offrant un programme de français de base, le Baccalauréat en éducation française (le Bac) est la formation qu'il vous faut.

Le Bac vous prépare à contribuer à la diversité des connaissances, des langues et des cultures de la Saskatchewan.

Aimeriez-vous faire partie des changements sociaux dans le monde? L'état de notre société vous préoccupe? L'enseignement est peut-être pour vous. La justice sociale est au coeur du programme en éducation et Le Bac vous permet de vous engager pleinement dans votre communauté."

"‘Tis the season of gratitude and reflection, of homecomings and joyous tidings... At least, that’s what the end-of-year holiday time usually brings. While we acknowledge that this year has been anything but usual, simply saying “2020 is different” feels like too obvious an understatement.

Many of us simply aren’t ready or even willing to reflect on a year of thwarted plans, grave safety concerns, and extraordinary challenges to our core values and identities. Even so, we realize that some kind of closure, however small or personal, is essential to moving forward with courage and wholeheartedness.

With this toolkit, we share our favorite practices for heart-centered breathwork, movement and mindful presence. The journey of returning to joy can carry us through sorrow, anger or exhaustion, and we provide tools here to support you with release, relief and rest.

In this toolkit, you’ll find practices for:

Hope

Rest

Reflection

Joy

Connection

Processing Grief

Letting Go

Sitting with Stress

September is a great time for data collection activities as students are naturally curious about their new classmates. Ask questions that require students to analyze data and support their conclusions.

Classroom Culture

Instill a sustainable, positive culture in your classroom with these lessons and activities.

Elementary - 8 Activities for Building a Compassionate Classroom Culture

Middle School - 7 Activities to Foster Decision-Making and Character Skills

High School - 6 Ways to Embed Mental Wellness into Classroom Culture

Students use their senses to describe what the weather is doing and predict what it might do next. After gaining a basic understanding of weather patterns, students act as state park engineers and design/build "backyard weather stations" to gather data to make actual weather forecasts.

This art history video discussion examines Francis Bacon's "Triptych - August 1972", 1972, oil on canvas, 72 x 61 x 22 in. (183 x 155 x 64 cm), (Tate Modern, London).

Students are introduced to the concept of engineering biological organisms and studying their growth to be able to identify periods of fast and slow growth. They learn that bacteria are found everywhere, including on the surfaces of our hands. Student groups study three different conditions under which bacteria are found and compare the growth of the individual bacteria from each source. In addition to monitoring the quantity of bacteria from differ conditions, they record the growth of bacteria over time, which is an excellent tool to study binary fission and the reproduction of unicellular organisms.

In this new video we look at the basics of bacteria. We look at their classifications, sizes, shapes and how they reproduce. This video is intended to be a primer on bacteria. We will go into more details as we progress in this series.

This task provides a real world context for interpreting and solving exponential equations. There are two solutions provided for part (a). The first solution demonstrates how to deduce the conclusion by thinking in terms of the functions and their rates of change. The second approach illustrates a rigorous algebraic demonstration that the two populations can never be equal.

Students construct paper recombinant plasmids to simulate the methods genetic engineers use to create modified bacteria. They learn what role enzymes, DNA and genes play in the modification of organisms. For the particular model they work on, they isolate a mammal insulin gene and combine it with a bacteria's gene sequence (plasmid DNA) for production of the protein insulin.

In this presentation, we will talk about bacteria, and the two life forms planktonic and biofilm growing bacteria. In continuation of this we will explain the difference between planktonic and biofilm growing bacteria.

Students learn how to effectively deal with bullying by participating in literature response groups and writing about when they experienced a similar situation or emotion as a fictional character.

True love has the right ratio. In this humorous animation, the number of words spoken by each partner predicts whether a date goes well or horribly. What do you do when someone asks if you listen to country music backwards, but won't let you get a word in edgewise?

Bagages est un film qui donne la parole et la scène à des adolescents de l’école secondaire Paul-Gérin-Lajoie-d’Outremont nouvellement arrivés à Montréal. On découvre leur récit de migration et d’intégration à travers des ateliers d’art dramatique, des mises en scènes théâtrales et des entrevues où ils se révèlent à nous. Ils témoignent d’un « ailleurs » et d’un « avant » qui deviendront « ici » et « maintenant ». Ils sont jeunes, mais parlent de leur parcours avec une sagesse déconcertante, une émotion à faire trembler les plus durs et une authenticité désarmante.

**Il existe une mini-leçon pour le film Bagages. Le lien est trouvé sur ce site.

This series of word problems requires students to apply the concepts of factors and common factors in a context.

This lesson provides teachers with support for using text-dependent questions to help students derive big ideas and key understandings while developing vocabulary from the modern fable and play, The Baker's Neighbor. In this play, the neighborhood baker Manuel bakes delicious smelling pastries and puts them out for sale each morning, but his neighbor, Pablo, loves to smell the fresh bakery every morning without purchasing any pastries. This irritates Manuel to the point where he feels Pable should pay to smell his baked goods, and Manuel takes his complain to the town judge who eventually offers a ruling that allows Manuel to get the pleasure of "touching" Pablo's gold coins in return for Pable "smelling" the bakery.
