The Letter Generator is a useful tool for students to learn the parts of a business or friendly letter and then compose and print letters for both styles of correspondence.

The Letter Poem Creator provides an online model for the thought process involved in creating poems based upon a letter; then, students are invited to experiment with letter poems independently.

Students explore letter poems and experiment with writing letters as poems, using the placement of line breaks to enhance rhythm, sound, meaning, and appearance.

Working on beginning, middle and ending sounds using Kahoot! This game PIN will be expired but this may give you an idea for creating a Kahoot! of your own and how you can set it up.

Using their prior knowledge of books containing letters, students show their understanding of genre by rewriting a story and reflecting on how traditional stories differs from stories told in letters.

Students work as biomedical engineers to find liquid solutions that can clear away polyvinyl acetate polymer "blood clots" in model arteries (made of clear, flexible tubing). Teams create samples of the "blood clot" polymer with different concentrations to discover the concentration of the model clot and then test a variety of liquids to determine which most effectively breaks down the model blood clot. Students learn the importance of the testing phase in the engineering design process, because they are only given one chance to present the team's solution and apply it to the model blood clot.

Students learn how the sun can be used for energy. They learn about passive solar heating, lighting and cooking, and active solar engineering technologies (such as photovoltaic arrays and concentrating mirrors) that generate electricity. Students investigate the thermal energy storage capacities of test materials. They learn about radiation and convection as they build a model solar water heater and determine how much it can heat water in a given amount of time. In another activity, students build and compare the performance of four solar cooker designs. In an associated literacy activity, students investigate how people live "off the grid" using solar power.

L’élève fera des activités éducatives en lecture et écriture sur le thème de Noël, à l’aide d’une histoire et d’exercices divers. Ceci se fera toujours selon son rythme.

Ce guide est une ressource destinée aux éducateurs de tous niveaux pour introduire la valeur de la vie des femmes et des filles autochtones dans la salle de classe et dans l'esprit et le cœur des jeunes. Il préparera les éducateurs à utiliser une pédagogie décolonisante et une approche axée sur la prise en compte des traumatismes dans leur enseignement.

Parents
Depending on the reading level of your child, the book of the day will always be a great book for your child to read!

This lesson introduces students to three of the six simple machines used by many engineers: the lever, the pulley, and the wheel-and-axle. In general, engineers use the lever to magnify the force applied to an object, the pulley to lift heavy loads over a vertical path, and the wheel-and-axle to magnify the torque applied to an object. The mechanical advantage of these machines helps determine their ability to make work easier or make work faster.

Je compare mon école avec les écoles d’autrefois est une leçon de l’unité l’Éducation et l’école d’autrefois qui se trouve sur le Web Sciences humaines 1 à 5: Modules pour le patrimoine. L’unité comprend des leçons pour le professeur et des activités interactives pour l’élève.

Libby, by Overdrive is a books app that allows kids to browse and borrow ebooks and audiobooks from public libraries for free. Kids will need a library card to download or stream the books they want to borrow. The app connects users to their local library's ebook and audiobook collection. Users can link multiple library cards from different branches to access a wider collection. Kids can sample books before deciding to borrow them. If they're not immediately available, they can put titles on hold, and the activity tracker lets them track what they've read. Search for a specific title or explore different collections, including Kids, Teens, What's Popular?, and Subjects. Little kids can access picture books with read-along audio, making some books more accessible to early readers. Even though Libby, by Overdrive gives users access to a wide range of books, grown-ups can activate a juvenile or young adult filter in order to limit kids' access to the entire collection.

DON'T FORGET YOU CAN ACCESS BOOKS ON SORA AS WELL ALL YEAR LONG (if your school has Sora)!

Liberation75 is a not-for-profit event dedicated to commemorating the 75th anniversary of liberation from the Holocaust. We mark this important anniversary by remembering the victims, honouring the survivors, showcasing the future of Holocaust education and remembrance, reflecting on antisemitism in the world, celebrating the role of the liberators and committing to protecting freedom, diversity, human rights and inclusion.
With more than 200+ Participating Organizations, Liberation75 features the very best speakers, films, performances, exhibits, tours and more from around the world! Explore testimony and technology, meet the thought leaders, have discussions with your peers and spend time interacting with Holocaust survivors.
All elements of this event are offered at no cost to attendees. If your plans change and you cannot attend, please cancel your registration so we do not incur unnecessary charges.

"Build your library’s capacity to help youth gain skills for the future
The Ready to Code Collection provides resources and strategies for coding and computational thinking activities that are grounded in research, aligned with library core values, and support broadening participation."

"Taking up the mantel for helping students learn coding, the Libraries Ready to Code project is an initiative of the American Library Association and sponsored by Google. The Ready to Code Collection provides resources for librarians based on their own expertise. Resources can be browsed by different topics and include such support as lesson plans and professional development on topics as diverse as design thinking, robotics and storyline." (AASL)

This art history video discussion examines Roy Lichtenstein's "Rouen Cathedral Set V", 1969, oil and magna on canvas, 3 canvases (SFMOMA).

This is another of my students' favourite assignments. The students create a container that matches one of the characters and fill it with items (or pictures of the items) that character would have or use. Tags are attached to the items that include descriptive writing, page references, and the reasons the item is important to the play.
