My goal was to transform the learning environment from a traditional atmosphere to a student-led learning experience. Essentially, I have become the facilitator, rather than the knowledge keeper. Students are immersed in inquiry learning.
1. The learning environment has become the third teacher in the classroom and is very important. My classroom is divided into a variety of learning zones:
- Teacher zone (an area near the smart board – could be defined with a carpet and invite kids to come closer)
- Student tables – students work in pods of 4 (which have replaced all the desks)
- Reading corner (leveled books line a bookshelf. Mats and bean bag chairs were purchased)
- Walking lanes – a simple line on the floor where kids can go and wear off a little energy or to get their minds thinking
- Horse shoe table for guided instruction
- Small table for an individual work area
- Bulletin Boards – have consciously tried to have them interactive (RAN Chart and Parking Lot, homemade whiteboards)
2. For student supplies, a caddy is in the middle of each table for shared supplies. All other personal supplies are stored in baskets and put in their lockers

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?
