✨ Publishing Day Party ✨
Ss shared their books in the Author’s Chair, received compliments and q’s from peers and then added their books to our classroom library. 📚I shared a book I made in Gr. 3 and one I later self-published to show that writing continues throughout life.

📚💙 Last month we read stories with inclusive & anti-bullying themes to support our 🏫 initiatives. “Be You,” “Be Kind,” “Zero,” “One,” and “Two.”
Key messages: be yourself, choose kindness, everyone has value, stand up for others, and build fair, caring friendships. @CHPSYRDSB

🌟 In our class we value the importance of reaching all learners. We use written, verbal & visual cues. One great tool: a pre-recorded button 🔊 with instructions in English and a child’s home language. Learned about this from YRDSB’s Great Beginnings! 💛 @CHPSYRDSB
