Live it Earth!
I hope everyone’s fall is off to a great start. I am super excited about this year and am looking forward to bringing some of our fun district events back like the Code Quest Arcade in May and the Minecraft Challenge which will come out soon. One great new resource that has come to our district is Live It Earth! Live It is a Canadian resource which is available in English or in French and contains full lesson packages for Science/STEM lessons that closely follow our curricular Big Ideas. The subjects include such engaging topics as Life on Mars, Narwhals, Dinosaurs, Climate Change and much more with a new one coming out every month. Each package contains:
- A Slideshow that you can edit or change that is also narrated if you would like to give your voice a break
- An Inquiry Guide full of working documents that you can modify for students to fill out as you progress through the unit.
- Creative and STEM Challenges with lots of choices and step-by-step instructions
- A Feature Show about the topic which also includes the Indigenous perspective
- Career Pathways
- Self Assessment opportunities
- Post Viewing Challenges and Resources like Game Challenges, Call to Action, Deep Dives and more
To find this awesome new resource:

3. The instructions for signing yourself and your class up will be right there under New (they will later on move down to Sites for Teachers)
