Special Shout Out to The Bag Lady for the generous donation to the LDCSB Christmas Fundraiser. Jane, the soup was Amazing! Thank you for supporting our families this year.
More LEGO math fun! Roll the two dice, add the numbers, & place the corresponding number of blocks on the base plate. The first to fill theirs wins! Great practice with composing numbers as you pick the right combination of blocks to make your answer. @Angela_Pyle_PhD
OK My Friends! Here is an outstanding site where celebrities read great picture books. Your kids can scroll over the images of the books and choose the ones that they wish to hear. Hundreds of them.. Some math ones too!! Take a visit!
Keep healthy ❤️

Oral reading fluency cannot always be measured by how quickly the student reads. In this resource video, our own @DrMariaMurray1 explains oral reading fluency so that we can work to improve it using the #ScienceOfReading. https://t.co/RYij74iP4d
@Angela_Pyle_PhD@LDCSB Yay! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and comedic timing with our educator teams. It was incredibly impactful to our day of learning. LDCSB is excited to continue the conversation and learn more with/from you!
It was lovely working with our partners at @LEGOfoundation on our newly published paper on guided play in Canadian and South African contexts! https://t.co/eu4E8l3Ed9
Play is not separate from our learning. It’s not for “after our work is done”. It’s the vehicle for our language development, social learning, emerging STEM thinking & more. It’s interwoven into everything we do, & engages students heads, hands, & hearts. ❤️ #playbasedlearning
Thinking about the importance of large, uninterrupted blocks of play-based exploration in Grades 1 & 2 as our learning community creates our Rube Goldberg machines. Deep thinking & connections need time to come out! Speaks to the importance of rethinking "traditional timetables".
Educators - what are some of your "non-negotiables" (i.e. things that will be found in your class regardless of grade/teaching location, etc.)? My first few thoughts: green plants, laughter, community building, student voice/choice, (mostly) blank walls in September. Yours?
We are digging into Ped Doc at the Westmount Family Centre. Alternative ways to document- record children’s questions- no iPad required! #ldcsb, #pedagogicaldocumentation
Grade 1/2s reflecting on the big question “What is math?” to frame our mathematical thinking for the year - Math is music! Math is nature! Math is problem solving! Math is working together! #waytobein103#earlyyears
Coding with straws and connectors! Wonderful ideas for some of our older materials hiding in our cupboards! Thank you! @McLennan1977 & @Freeman_Gr1#etfopley
