Activity Description During my 21stCE meeting with Carole Butcher, I was introduced to Padlet and I immediately saw an application for it in my primary level classroom which is k-3. Although the way we are using it may not be how Padlet is intended to be used, it works great the activity we’ve named Snack Words! Every day before snack time in the morning, each student takes a turn at the Smart Board finding and moving a word they know. They touch and slide the words from one side of the board to the other. After they have had their turn with the Snack Words board, they are allowed to get their snack. I use my discretion about which words they should be able to read and ask them to choose more than one if the word they’ve chosen is too easy for them.

CP4.8 Create art works using a variety of visual art concepts (e.g., organic shapes), forms (e.g., kinetic sculpture, mural), and media (e.g., wood, wire, and found objects).

The purpose of the Mathematics Word Wall is to identify words and phrases
that students need to understand and use so as to make good progress in
mathematics. Mathematical language is crucial to children's development of
thinking. If students do not have the vocabulary to talk about math
concepts and skills, they cannot make progress in understanding these areas
of mathematical knowledge. They need to be familiar with mathematical
vocabulary and mathematical terms to understand written and spoken
instructions.
A structured approach to the teaching and learning of mathematical
vocabulary is essential if students are to begin using the correct
mathematical terminology.

Attached is a full year plan or schedule to introduce the 21st Century Skills all students need!

Students who have social learning challenges benefit from increasing their ability to “read others”, use proper self-control or problem solve in social situations. The Zones of Regulation program uses social thinking, visual supports and self-management in teaching students how to consciously regulate their behaviors and solve social problems.
As well, many other literary resources have been incorporated with the “Zones” program to facilitate an appropriate social skills program.

This resources was developed at Eston school.
