This wk I completed a goal-creating a whole school community activity. Each student received a printed lightbulb w/ “I light up the world with kindness by.”; writing a kind act that they commit to doing for our school community & world.Great to see all the kindness in the school!
Ss learned the history & significance of the Poppy & created a Seed Paper Poppy. Unlike the plastic poppy, their poppy will decompose in the garden & bloom in the spring- continuing to be a symbol of remembrance & a reminder of their learning & contribution to the community
Each student took a personal pledge as to how they are going to take action, create change, and ensure others are educated on this important part of our history. Remember, the conversations don’t end today. #NationalDayforTruthandReconciliation
Today, our class explored the inter-generational impacts of residential schools. Students took time to recognize the experience of those who went to residential schools, honour them, and show a collective commitment to ensure that Every Child Matters.
Today is the Day!
👚 Happy #PinkShirtDay everyone!!!👚
Whether you're sporting pink, donating, or just remembering to be kind- you can make a difference!
So take a moment today to think if you've made kind gesture yet.

Been a little MIA… this year started differently than expected but it’s off to a great start! :) Although busy, it was great to take a moment and see some former students this week who popped by to say hi and share a smile!

Had a little hiatus on here as I finished an LTO and transitioned back into OTing, but been engaged with some incredible activities! Thought I’d share some of the great work from the last art project I did with the 8s #zentangles#MentalHealthMatters#VisualArt#focalpoint
It’s okay to not be okay. We all have mental health and it’s important not just to talk and listen today, but to focus and support mental health every day. Keep the conversations going long after today! #stopthestigma#bellletstalk#grade8messages
On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we celebrate and honour the legacy of Dr. King who fought for civil rights and social justice for all. #MLKDay

Today’s theme was SHINE BRIGHT FOR KINDNESS and TOO BRIGHT TO BULLY! Ss reflected and expanded on their understanding and made a personal commitment to kindness, including not being a bystander. Our month of kindness challenge wall is also GROWING! 👍🏻 Stay tuned! @SMGTCDSB
Happy World Kindness day!
Yesterday, we set up our board for our month challenge. Ss will each day recognize something kind they do and also recognize the kindness they see in others in our class community and post it. Stay tuned to see it all filled up! #community#bekind
