7th and 8th grade students hold an advisory meeting every morning to foster community in our school and social-emotional learning. This morning's advisory included sharing out with each other about what admiration is and who we admire in our lives.
7th grade math teacher Mrs. Evans attended the Building Thinking Classroom professional development last week. CAMS piloted the BTC curriculum years ago and has been instrumental in bringing the program to other math classrooms in the district. Mrs. Evans got to meet the author of the movement, Dr. Peter Liljedahl! He is a Professor of Mathematics Education in the Faculty of Education and an associate member in the Department of Mathematics at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada. He has authored or co-authored 13 books, 41 book chapters, 39 journal articles, and over 50 conference papers!
Last month, the 8th grade was treated to a bird rescue show organized by science teacher, Ms. Partnow. It was awesome to learn about these birds of prey from experts and see them up close!
