20-Day Challenge

"We challenge you to think differently about what you do"

That was the invitation to participate in a 20-day challenge with interesting opportunities to change our thinking, open our minds and break out of routines that may be holding us back from being our best selves.

18 of us have decided to participate in the challenge that will start on Wednesday October 23. Over the 20 days, we will be documenting our experiences in creative ways.

If you would like to join us in the challenge, please send an email to stephanie.minor@dsbn.org and we'll share the challenge with you.

Student Votes

As Glynn a Green students, we are fortunate enough to have the ability to participate in the Student Vote program. On Thursday we got to use a CBC survey called "Vote Compass" to see what party best represents our values. Afterwards, we talked about the survey to make sure we understood some of the things that were in the survey. Today we actually got to cast our votes. We'll know the results of the vote on Tuesday after the election.

Math Lessons on YouTube - Investigating Quadrilaterals

Learning Goals:

• classify quadrilaterals by their sides and angles

• investigate the geometric properties of quadrilaterals

Today we recorded the very first video of a lesson on our investigations into quadrilaterals. Throughout the year, we will record videos and link them to this website with a description of the learning goals for the lesson. We have our own unlisted YouTube channel (also called minordetails) that will have a playlist of lessons throughout the year.
