To fully understand what "reconciliation" means, we have broken down what it is and what it isn't. Some would argue that reconciliation isn't even the right term at all. What did you (un)learn from this post?

Good Morning - all Durham District School Board schools will be closed today, January 18th. All in class learning, child care, recreation and Hub programming will also be closed for the day.
Stay safe and be kind!

All three motions passed at the Special Board meeting tonight! We'll continue to have reporting of COVID cases when we return in person, kindergarten students will be masked and hopefully 🤞 vaccine clinics for staff and students will be organized by the Dept of Health!

We had a visitor join our class this week. Our Kindness Elf, Sparkle!🌟

[Megan Wood @MissW00D]

Our Kindness Ninja Board. Each week it will be updated with a new way ss are caught being kind. When someone is caught being kind by a teacher or friend, it is written under their name and shared with the whole class so that we can all give them the appreciation they deserve. ❤

Earlier this week we started our "Gift of Kindness" Countdown to Winter Break. As a class we co-created the ideas for ways we can be kind, and then each student at an opportunity to draw what it looks like. ❤

@NashTEACH2reach @SWS_PS Love this idea! Excited to try it with my class next week 😊

We have been learning and celebrating Diwali this week. Students have loved making rangolis and diyas during our open exploration time.

[Megan Wood @MissW00D]

Grateful for wonderful friends who brighten my Friday (and my students Friday). 🌟🥰
I miss working with you both!

Today we got a special surprise in the mail from our Virtual Buddies @SWS_PS. Ss were so excited to receive a letter and friendship pins made by #team113 in Ms. Nash and Ms. George's Class. @NashTEACH2reach 🥰 We are already working on our package back to our new friends.

What better way to end our pumpkin inquiry than by adding a class set of pumpkins to our pumpkin patch dramatic play area for students to choose from? Students loved having a chance to decorate their own pumpkin to take home.🎃😊

Our Thankful Tree 💕

[Megan Wood @MissW00D]

Today was our first day starting unplugged coding. Students had to help their friend find the letter we were looking for and avoid all the obstacles in their way.

[Megan Wood @MissW00D]

We have been adding tools to our calming area. Our newest addition is our self-regulation trail.

[Megan Wood @MissW00D]

Students practiced letter recognition and 1:1 correspondence during this STEM activity. How many letters can you balance on your Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Tree?

[Megan Wood @MissW00D]

We have been learning to self-regulate and take a break in our calming area when we need it.

Orange Shirt Day may have come and gone, but that doesn't mean the learning should stop. 🧡 We promise to keep learning and be kind.
