My first practicum (of 3) was in a grade 6/7 class at Lac des Bois Elementary. It is a fully French Immersion school, so I taught lessons in French except for an ELA lesson. The following pictures are taken by me unless otherwise specified.

I did a Math and ADST cross curricular lesson on Coded Beading. This was from the Beaded Tweets that Noelle Pepin taught at UNBC. Students made beads for family members and some grade 7s chose to make beaded work for farewell gifts to give to past teachers at the end of the year.
My CT made an activity using the coded beading the students made where they decoded the beaded messages in the afternoon of the same day I did my coded beading lesson. Students had to figure out which colour from each set was 1s and which was 0s, then determine the letters to find the words from the word bank.
My CT does something called Feel Good Friday (FGF), he writes the names of all the students and adults in the room each on a small piece of paper. He passed them around randomly and you write something nice about the person you got within the categories of the week, this was was “if they were a mode of transportation they would be ___.” This was the one a student wrote about me. He then reads and shows the drawings of everyone’s on the projector and gives it to the person it was written about. Everyone in the class enjoyed both hearing what was written about one another and getting what was written and drawn about them.
Two examples of students’ net objects, one is a house and one is a truck.
An example I made for the final Math activity of what I did with the class in their measurement unit. It was a build your own net object activity. I showed students how to make their own nets to make objects. Houses and vehicles were the most common made.
