If you have not yet checked the menus under the title "Gr. 4/5 Div. F03", I encourage you to do so.... have you watched any of the Math finger multiplication youtube clips that I've posted?  Very interesting!!
 
This is a really interesting video clip to watch!!  I know how creative my students are.... this is a nine year-old boy's idea that grew!!!  Just imagine what you can create when you expand an idea!!

Food for thought!!  A wonderful speaker who often reminds me to look at my students in a different light!!  I also have a copy of his book, "The Element" which is very much worth reading.  Please see the YouTube clip below if you are interested.
 
A beautiful video dealing with acceptance of diversity... One of the actors is Nick Vujicic,  a powerful speaker that shares his message of overcoming adversity.  Born without arms or legs, Nick's favourite quote is, "If you fail, try again!"  Perspective, Vision & Choices are what he speaks of in his You tube clip, "Nick Vujicic, No Arms, No Legs, No Worries!! Part 1 & 2"
