This lesson for PA 4.4 introduces students to the Metis nation using a storybook called The Flower Beadwork People. The accompanying PowerPoint is a collection of illustrations that follows the storybook The Flower Beadwork People. The illustrations can be shown on the SmartBoard while the teacher read the storybook aloud.

This Treaty focus will be implemented in the Grade Four Social Studies quite well, and has been a part of the current curricula. My objective is to focus on the Treaty information and the impact that the Indian Act of 1876 had upon the First Nations of Saskatchewan. To do this, I plan to use the government Treaty Kit more, and obtain information from our liaison teachers in the school for materials, ideas and suggestions. In particular, there are Smartboard activities , and interactive websites from FNIM. Much of the Social studies content is on Saskatchewan, the Land, The People, interactions and interdependence of individuals, societies, cultures, and nations. Fitting specific Treaty information and essential learnings can mesh with this subject, though many FNIM topics are also in the Language Arts and Science. My goal is to focus study on the treaties themselves, the Indian Act of 1876, and its implications and results, and through various forms of evaluation, have results that show the students have a better understanding of this goal.

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?

My goal was for students to be able to co-create criteria for self-assessment in a variety of subject areas.

My grade five students were asked to recall what they had learned about co-constructing criteria this year, and then develop a lesson plan for interns. This is their plan, with links to criteria and assessments developed and used this year

Practice using the viewing guide with one or two videos first, following the lesson steps below. This may be done every second or third day. Once students feel comfortable with the viewing process, a summative viewing guide can be completed by the students for grading.eng

Grade 5 Math Playlist / Outcome Plan.
The following is an example of how you can develop playlists for outcome-based math. Activities can be a compilation of resources you already have, or ones you can access through the resource bank including.

The University of Saskatchewan offers this tremendous resource that promotes the richness and diversity of the sciences, nurture curiosity and innovation, and inspire students to consider a career in science, and support teachers to provide exciting educational experiences.

Check out the great collection of video and activity resources for teachers and parents to supplement and enhance Grade 5 science learning.

Grade 5 students completed the choice board after learning about three topics in social studies. Students had to complete one activity from each column of the choice board to demonstrate their understanding of the topic while using creative thinking to complete each activity. Students’ completed work was then assessed using the rubric found below.

This document shows illustrations of the structure of the federal government of Canada (legislative, executive, and judicial), the federal and provincial structure of government, as well as the symbols of Saskatchewan.

Students used Educreations to create a short mini lesson on how to divide 3 digit by 1 digit numbers. Educreations is a recordable whiteboard app. It records voice, handwriting and also allows the user to insert pictures to produce personal video lessons that students can share online. Their lessons are stored online and can be accessed by students on any computer or Ipad. Students began independently to work out a plan deciding what the script would be and what “props” and/or pictures would be used in the mini lesson. They then recorded their mini lesson using the Educreations app.

The following resource houses a collection of year plans created by teacher PLCs for grades 5 to 8 over the 2020-2021 academic year.  

This rubric can be used to assess descriptive writing in Grade 6.  This resource also provides other grade 6 rubrics -  https://resourcebank.ca/authoring/2389-ela-6-outcome-based-rubrics/view 

This includes unit plan and activity for Myths and the rubric with the outcomes.

Part One: Students are tasked with using factual information learned about an animal species of their choice (Life Science – Diversity of Living Things). Students read and conduct research using a variety of resources, including online, textbook, and non-fiction materials.

Part Two: Students are tasked with using the writing process to prepare and present a scientific report (ELA – Compose and Create).

Part Three: Students are tasked with designing, constructing and displaying a mask of their animal species (Arts Ed – Creative/ Productive) along with a written title and caption for their display piece.
