This package is intended for Grade 7 students and covers the Treaty Education outcomes for this grade level. Through this resource, students will come to better understand treaties, their history and impact on our country, how they continue to affect Indigenous people in Canada, and how we are all treaty people.

Summary: Infographics have become a very popular method of sharing information. Students learned how to read infographics by looking at various examples of basic graphics and then expanded to a wide variety of methods used to show information on different topics.
The theme that was being focused on was An Eye on the Natural and Technological Environment. Because of rotation of themes, I ended up with three grades doing the same theme, however they covered their own outcomes for their grade as can be seen above.

Lots of great worksheets and answer keys on this site for the MS3 outcome.
Explore the nature and classification of organic compounds, and their uses in modern materials.

For your project in our Mystery and Suspense unit you will have a choice of one of the following options that can be completed individually, in pairs, or in small groups (no more than 3). No matter what option you choose you will be required to write a project proposal and submit it to Ms. Moser before moving on to creating it. Use your “Recipe for a Mystery” sheet to guide you; you will be marked on your ability to include those elements into your original creation.

This is a three part lesson plan focusing on the language of location which is a great way to introduce coding basic concepts and no technology needed!

Today we're going to discuss how machine learning can be used to group and label information even if those labels don't exist. We'll explore two types of clustering used in Unsupervised Machine Learning: k-means and Hierarchical clustering, and show how they can be used in many ways - from book suggestions and medical interventions, to giving people better deals on pizza!

The Museum of Natural Sciences at the U of S in Saskatoon showcases the history of Earth and the evolution of life on it through exhibits and displays that include dinosaur skeleton replicas, fossils, live animals and plants, rocks, and minerals.

The following is an update about MySchoolSask from the committee as of November 30, 2018.

For those of us who are familiar with the use of Police Service Dogs (PSDs) in evidence gathering, or “Article Search”, it is certainly not a big step to think of PSDs as a possible tool in the location of crime scenes. Although dogs have been used with a reasonable amount of success over the years, it is surprising the number of dog handlers who have not ever considered using their PSDs to assist in this manner.
Crimes against persons often occur in one area and the victim either escapes or is allowed to leave. The trauma, shock and general confusion related to the incident makes it difficult for the victim to located the scene. In cases such as a homicide, the body is often moved in an attempt to mislead police. More and more, especially in gang-related crimes, in some of these cases, investigators may be able to gather some intelligence in regard to where the crime could have possibly occurred, and this is where PSDs are able to help. in many cases, the PSDs are able to go into an area and pinpoint the scene for investigators. For those dog handlers and trainers who do not include “Article Search” in their programs, "Tracking can often be equally effective in locating a crime scene with a PSD.
Those canine teams that are capable of both behaviours (Tracking and Article Search) have two weapons at their disposal in their attempt to locate a crime scene. In those cases, the dog handler can decide which behaviour to use, depending on the intelligence he gathers as well as the environment and other related considerations such as time frame, weather and contamination. In some cases, the combination of the two behaviours will allow the canine team to be successful.

Included is case studies.

Mathletics is a powerful tool or weapon of “mass instruction”. This session will show you how to use Mathletics to identify which outcomes your students are currently meeting, and where there are gaps in their learning.  This outcome specific information can be provided for the class overall and each individual student by using the assessments available in Mathletics.  Mathletics can also be used to help fill those learning gaps by using differentiation, and using the information from student activities to group students for small group instruction based on their results from activities.  Come and learn how to put this amazing tool to work for you and your students this year.

Summary:
PWIM – Picture Word Induction Model is an inquiry based language arts strategy that uses pictures to elicit words from children’s vocabulary. It begins with what students already know and allows them to hear and see words many times. It allows the development of sight word vocabulary and provides opportunities for various word work activities using the student generated words.

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.
