Today, students practiced procedural writing by creating a smoothie recipe. They wrote clear, step-by-step instructions and then followed them to make their smoothies. The best part? Enjoying their tasty creations @NicholasDPCDSB

Today, staff & students across DPCDSB gathered in community for prayer & liturgy to mark Ash Wednesday, marking the beginning of Lent. We'd like to share a reflection from this morning's staff liturgy at the Catholic Education Centre with our community: https://t.co/lYTZCU3pIq

We love when Mrs. O comes in to teach us a new core word! We celebrated our lesson with a song and a dance—our core word was “good”! @NicholasDPCDSB @DPCDSBSchools

Writing skills were shining today! ✨ After creating snowmen with modelling clay and loose parts, students used rich descriptive language to write about their creations. This hands-on activity supported creativity, fine motor development, and writing growth. @NicholasDPCDSB

Our fine motor activity today was all about creativity! Students made their own Christmas trees and decorated them with colorful beads. It is a fun, hands-on way to build fine motor skills while getting into the holiday spirit!

Our Ss are loving the chance to retell the Nativity story through coding! Using the “12 Hours of Techmas” lesson, they’re blending creativity, storytelling, and computational thinking to bring this classic story to life in a whole new way! @NicholasDPCDSB @DP_SELS @DPTechTeam

In math, we continued exploring patterns—but with a musical twist! After building our patterns, we brought them to life by playing them on the piano. 🎹 The students in the IDEA room loved hearing their patterns turn into music! @NicholasDPCDSB @DP_math @DP_SELS

Literacy in action! We used an AAC device to dive into a text, practiced high-frequency words, and expressed ideas through writing and visuals. Every student found their voice today! 🌟
