The cards are colour-coded so students can learn the parts of speech as they build their sentences. There are also several blank cards that can be written on with dry-erase markers, so students can add in their own words. This kit is an excellent hands-on resource that allows students to engage with sentence-making, sentence structure, and parts of speech.

This fun board game challenges young learners in groups of up to four players to match rhyming sounds. Players take turns drawing cards and matching the words on their cards to rhyming words on the starter card placed in the centre of the board. Once each word has four rhyming matches, the group can begin with a new starter card. For an added challenge, consider making it a race: Players choose a word on the starter card for which they are going to find a rhyming match. They then take turns drawing cards from the pile, and the first player to have a list of four rhyming words that match their word in the centre wins! An excellent activity for developing language skills, this game also builds vocabulary; each card features both a word and a picture, so that young learners can identify the meanings of new words. This game is an ideal activity for both independent work stations and moments of free play, and it can be built upon to become a language challenge for slightly older children: Can they turn their rhyming words into a rhyming sentence? How silly of a poem or a story can they invent with their rhyming words? If this game is a part of an activity circuit, perhaps the whole class can share their stories or sentences at the end of the lesson!

The SmartLab Smart Circuits activity kit goes beyond teaching children about basic electronics (such as light switches, speakers etc.) to understanding how modern computers are constructed. The kit contains 6 base boards, 10 modules, 31 jumper wires and a manual. It also requires 3 AAA batteries (not included in the kit) to run. The Smart Circuits activity kit is best suited toward kids from around 8 – 10 years old: it is relevant to both kids who haven’t learned the fundamentals of electricity, to kids who already know how to build basic circuits. It starts off with the basics by teaching kids about electricity and how currents, voltage and resistance work. The activity kit then builds on that understanding by teaching them about parallel circuits, and the difference between various conductors, resistors, tilt-switches and push-buttons. As they build their vocabulary, they are also able to test various experiments. The kit includes diagrams that outline the 50 projects that kids can choose from. These projects also flow in a very logical manner as they each build upon the skills learned earlier. For example, kids would start off learning how to build a rainbow maker, but as they progress they will learn to build things such as a motion-sensing room alarm, or an electronic drum kit. The kit contains many different projects so that it also suits a variety of interests, as well as skill sets: some of more exciting ones include an invisible light detector, and a magic message wand! It also comes with a powerful microprocessor, so outside of the outlined projects kids can design their own custom experiments and gadgets. The projects are important because it allows for kids to use the concepts they’ve learned through this kit, to understand machines that they interact with on a daily basis. The Smart Circuits activity kit is a fun way to combine a valuable learning experience, with experimenting and creativity. This kit is perfect for those who are already very interested in electronics, but it also useful for those who are a little more intimidated and might benefit from a fun hands-on approach! coding electronics intermediate junior https://omekaoise.library.utoronto.ca/files/original/2852987713c6a90e23de7d93afbfce35.JPG ecd3a69594cfe61e34e78844a0cfefea Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Produced by <a href="https://www.aadnc-aandc.gc.ca/eng/1100100010002/1100100010021">Indig</a><a href="https://www.aadnc-aandc.gc.ca/eng/1100100010002/1100100010021">enous Affairs Canada</a>, this puzzle is unlike traditional puzzles as its pieces do not have a specific order or placement that come together to make a scene. Instead, it is a free range puzzle that allows your class to put together their very own river full of canoes! Introduce free play, problem solving, and creativity into your classroom by using this activity kit as a way to encourage your class to think outside the box, providing them with the opportunity to create without direction. Another option could be to ask your students to create a scene and describe what it is they created, inspiring their own storytelling. Or, encourage group work in your class by having each student contribute a piece to the puzzle, creating a scene by the whole class! Additionally, Sharing a Story: The Canoe could be incorporated into classroom storytime to assist students that may have trouble sitting still throughout story time, providing a way to occupy themselves without distracting classroom activities. This puzzle could be introduced to grade 1-6 classrooms, depending on how you choose to frame the activity. The set contains 22 pieces and one leaflet providing historical context surrounding Indigenous uses of the canoe.
