Each week, Stoneybrook #kindergarten students head to the forest for play & learning, supported by their educators & @KingsAtWestern volunteers. They take part in a variety of activities—building forts, sculpting clay, creating structures & tapping maple trees for sap!

Thank you to the amazing group of volunteers from King’s University College - and to Ms. Frederick for her leadership - for helping our kindergarten “Forest School” program find such amazing success! @TVDSB

I spend waaay too much time setting up obstacle courses for these Kindies. This belly crawl station was much more challenging for my tall SKs. #AWinForTheJKs

Great turnout at Learning for Breakfast event for Kindergarten & EarlyON families. Kids are excited to try take-home #math and #literacy activities. The family cooking provocation from @MLSchoolHealth made for great math dialogue. Love seeing #parentengagement @KnollwoodPark1

Teach students not subjects
Be a school teacher not a classroom teacher
Lead don’t manage
Like your students...a lot
Communication with families...a lot
Work w/ your colleagues...a lot
You will screw up...a lot
Talk WITH your admin not AT or ABOUT you admin
Read read read...a lot

[Marlene Frederick @MarleneWasko]

Awesome provocation set from #MLHU. Talk to your health nurse about signing it out! #movemore

Our snow painting exploration has led to a new student-prompted inquiry. What will happen when we let our snow melt tonight then freeze it again in the freezer. Leading predicted: it will turn to grey slush then the freezer will turn our snow back into it's colouful fluffy shape
