LINK to my Digital Story     In my digital story, I chose to discuss the First Nation peoples of the Stoney Nakota community. I will talk about the history and agreements that created and established the Stoney Nakota First Nations, their history of schooling and what I have learned for my future professional teaching practice.  Digital Story References  

  Using Scratch to Investigate Refraction! Link to my Lesson Plan     Scratch coding is an excellent application to incorporate into your teaching plans. Scratch fosters engagement, creativity and problem-solving skills among students. It introduces them to computational thinking, laying the foundation for computer science concepts. Scratch projects can span across subjects, enabling cross-disciplinary learning. Its accessibility and user-friendly interface make it suitable for all ages. I have created a lesson relating to the Grade 4 science unit Light and Shadows,  where students use Scratch to explore how refraction works involving the bending and dispersion of light.
