Learning Commons

This year, students in grade 1/2 will attend 2, 30-minute classes in the Learning Commons each week (Mondays and Wednesdays). During this time, students will engage in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) as they build communication and inquiry skills through problem-solving. In their first few STEM classes, students have learned about the variety of no technology, low technology and high technology experiences they will have when they come each week. Together, we brainstormed some of our  favourite  STEM activities.

Students are looking forward to:
-      robotics
-      makerspace
-      hands-on experiments
-      ipad and laptop use
-      coding
-      art
-      cross-curricular projects
-      math games

Please watch our classroom blog for updates.
