A girl came up to the teacher and asked her if she would like some "jello" she had made with stacking blocks. The girl continued to play with the stacking blocks and later came back to the teacher and asked her if she would like a piece of "birthday cake", pointing out the "candle" in the middle.

Students in an English First Peoples class worked with the story "A Boy in the Ditch". The story contains material that is both of sensitive and thought provoking. Students worked through a number of questions relating to the topic "life is what you make it", and then read the story. Following the reading they responded to more discussion questions, then wrote a multi-paragraph composition based on the prompt "Life is What You Make It".

Students were encouraged to choose topics for projects based on their own interests. This student chose robots. He spent the first part of the project doing Internet research - How are robots used? When was the first robot created? How can I build my own robot? – and did a report and display. Through his Internet research, he found the Bristol Bot kits, ordered one, and followed the instructions to make a robot. After all this preparation, he realized one day that he could create his own robot. He used the remote from his Lego car to create a robot that lifted a pop can up and down.
