We read the story “Leaf Man” by Lois Ehlert. While reading, we discussed the various animals and objects that the artist created using leaves. After the story we brainstormed other animals. We then took it a step further and imagined we were someone/something else and again brainstormed what we might see in the leaves. Students then created works of art using leaves.

Outcomes: The assignment focused on early Saskatchewan architecture. DR4.1 discusses lifestyles and settlement patterns of the people of Saskatchewan. It also looks at the styles, materials, and cultural traditions in architecture.
Summary of plan for integrating creativity into my classroom this year: - My goal was to implement creativity in the form of a building project in my Grade 4-6 Social class. We are focusing on Saskatchewan. As a wrap up to Chapter 1 I had the students build a model of a pioneer house. When focusing on how geography can influence lifestyle choices, we looked at the architecture of the past.

"Participating classes will explore how indoor environmental conditions influence human health, and identify the best conditions for healthy living. This knowledge is important not only on Earth, but also on the International Space Station (ISS), the future Lunar Gateway, and as long-duration space travel progresses, maybe even on Mars!"
"Students and educators will study the key environmental conditions that are monitored and managed to keep astronauts healthy on the ISS. Students will measure environmental conditions such as temperature, CO2, and relative humidity in their classroom and submit the data to a national database. After developing their understanding of optimal ranges, and collecting data on their current environment, students will make a plan for classroom environmental improvement. The national Living Space database allows students to compare their classroom data with information from other participating classrooms in Canada as well as data from the ISS!"

So, let me ask you the question: How often do we let students “work the problem” in our schools and classrooms?
Do we give students a chance to figure it out on their own or in a small group? Do we challenge them to solve a challenge in a fixed amount of time? Do we let them struggle and fail to the point where they have to work the problem and find a solution?
With PL - Now every student was “working their own problem” and stumbling, struggling, and fighting to find a solution of how to learn, make, create, and launch an idea out into the world.
“The Martian” is a great example of working the problem. He has to use a multitude of 21st Century Skills, along with his team, and the people back on Earth to work together to survive and get him home.

"A Money Fair is a fun, inquiry-based project where students engage in financial literacy topics relevant to their age. Like a traditional science fair, students choose a topic of interest, conduct guided research, and show off their learning when they are complete. This project can be adapted to meet the unique needs of a class. Connections to PAA Financial Literacy curriculum modules are clear, and cross-curricular connections are possible too!"

As globalization and technological advances bring us hurtling towards a new integrated future, Ian Goldin warns that not all people may benefit equally. But, he says, if we can recognize this danger, we might yet realize the possibility of improved life for everyone. Ian Goldin is director of the 21st Century School at Oxford. Through the school's program of research, collaboration and education, he's powering new, cross-disciplinary thinking about global problems from the near and far future. A quiz, thought provoking question, and links for further study are provided to create a lesson around the 7-minute video. Educators may use the platform to easily "Flip" or create their own lesson for use with their students of any age or level.

As part of the ELA theme Chocolate students were asked to think about how new products are developed. They brainstormed new chocolate products and then selected their best idea to continue. Each student was asked to create a marketing plan, radio or TV ads, as well as print ads promoting their products. How it demonstrates Creativity? I followed the 6 Phases of Creativity from the Learning Together Booklet. Students were told the basic framework for the assignment, but they were given total freedom for selecting the product and designing the elements of the assignment. They did several brainstorming tasks along the way to help them refine their ideas.
