Join us on Tuesday, October 27th from 4:30 - 7:30 PM at the Best Western Lamplighter Inn, 591 Wellington Road in London for a lovely dinner then an evening workshop of your choice of one of these topics:
1. Planning Junior Mathematics with Assessment in Mind
Want to learn more about hands-on learning and using assessment to guide your planning for the junior mathematics? During this evening workshop, we will focus on assessment in the Number Sense and Numeration strand. Participants will engage in teacher-made, student-tested activities that teach and assess mathematics using a problem solving approach.
Presenter: Sheila Smith-Jones
2. Voice Care - Understanding and Caring for your Teaching Voice
Today's teachers meet a variety of vocal challenges on a daily basis-from length of total talking time and the variety of situations in which they speak to the many ways they use their voices in the instruction, management and motivation of their students. At the end of the workshop, the participant will: 1) understand the basic anatomy of voice; 2) understand how we create sound; 3) identify habits that inhibit the voice; 4) identify healthy voice use strategies; 5) identify ways to incorporate healthy voice habits into daily classroom use and 5) understand the basic warm-up tools required to produce an easy teaching voice.
Presenter: Lori Holmes
3. Ten Amazing Pastel Projects for J/I Students!
Almost every classroom has a bin of bits and pieces of oil pastels...so let's use them! This workshop will give you curriculum-based art projects that will make use of pastels in unique and creative ways. This "make-and-take" will give you the opportunity to explore, experiment, and create finished works of art. Materials, handouts and explicit instructions will be provided to guide you in completing a number of exemplars suitable for the J/I classroom. And it is fun!
Presenter: Polly Stringle
