Staff & Students Completing STEAM Challenges to Encourage Self Reflection

 Students (grade 2/3 & 6) built Rube Goldberg machines and self reflected on their Learning Skills.












Teachers completing their STEAM challenge during an in-service on the TLLP STEAM & Learning Skills project. We had teachers from Kindergarten all the way up to grade 8 going to to their classes and trying their own STEAM challenges and see how this shaped how their students thought about the Learning Skills.

Finally a picture of our teachers buying resources for our STEAM/ Maker lab at Holy Spirit. Exciting things to come.

Student Conference Math

As part of our Student Conferences, I had students look back at their learning. All year students have been responsible for playing Prodigy Math, Reading texts of their choosing and using their agenda.
As part of their math this week students were working on mean, mode and median. As a class we created Google Sheets and shared it with everyone in the class. Students input their data for each area and then were responsible for determining the class mean, mode and median and then graphing all of it. This information was powerful in helping students discover their strengths and areas where they need help.
