@avivaloca @Angle_Bellmoore @ACMmysons @SMilinovich Ss coming in upset after break is a common theme.I covered a class yesterday and paused the planned lesson for an impromptu community circle. Validating them and supporting/increasing their oral language to help Ss be able to problem solve on their own next time. @10heatherly

I loved this coding idea that @Angle_Bellmoore shared today. Could this be a way to link coding with reading and writing, even the reading and writing of some of the #UFLI lessons taught. Hmmm … Thanks for the inspiration, Jenn!

Students were motivated to write to @JulieBishopDove for snack program requests. Love these authentic opportunities to read & write. They loved the banana that you gave them for their notes. ❤️

I had a small group of K students in the library today, and they wanted to play in the kitchen. What food would they make? They started this list today and began “cooking.” A. added “21 meatballs” when she made them. Could keeping a list, inspire some reading of foods tomorrow?

Today, when I came in, the K educators got some students to show me what they did. They started this shelf with the labelling. A couple of students read me their labels and wrote some more. ❤️ 2/?

@avivaloca Hillcrest is lucky to have you!

I keep seeing this shared, & I really appreciate the info in it. I’m curious, what are educators using to inform instruction and later support grading for report cards? Trying to figure out how the progress monitoring, screening tools, & Strand B expectations all come together.

@avivaloca @nicolafacchini2 Thank you so much @avivaloca! The Learning Commons transformation has made such a positive and powerful impact on student wellbeing and wellness 💕 @Hillcrest_HWDSB is lucky to have you!

LEGO is such a versatile tool. Some students are creating words out of LEGO. One child is blending the sounds to read what he wrote. The “No, don’t touch,” sign provides an authentic reason to write. What about adding labels to support storytelling and reading?
