👀 Sneak a peek at the deepest & sharpest infrared image of the early universe ever taken — all in a day’s work for the Webb telescope. (Literally, capturing it took less than a day!) This is Webb’s first image released as we begin to #UnfoldTheUniverse: https://t.co/tlougFWg8B
Happy School Principals’ Day! Orchard Park is lucky to have @GjacobsG and @mrsviherjoki at the helm! Thank you for always modelling the patience, support, continual learning, and grace that we hope to embody as Student Leaders! @OrchardParkPS @SCDSB_Schools
It’s Sappy Stacky szn! Students designed, revised, and workshopped solutions to a static-y problem. Tis the treeson! @OrchardParkPS @SCDSB_Schools#STEM#STEAM
Next on the menu…Pulled Portrait! Students built on recent perspective work by engineering setups to capture the likeness of some educators. The catch? Couldn’t touch the marker. Who’s ready for their close up?! @OrchardParkPS @SCDSB_Schools#STEAM#STEMeducation
Small group instruction with rich tasks promotes deep understanding. Exciting to see students and staff engaging in this work! @OrchardParkPS @MrSteveKemp @OrchardParkGr3 @SCDSBassessment
Is that Panther pride I hear?? The Grit Grinder is back! Congrats to our first Grit Grinder of the week. They respected themselves, others, and the environment by making difficult but necessary choices in the name of learning and growing. @OrchardParkPS @SCDSB_Schools
Fractions in the summer?! Sounds like:
Fun

Fun
Cementing our understanding of the importance of the size of the whole, and relative size of fractions! @scdsbSL@SCDSB_Schools
I’d tell you a joke about circles, but it’d be pointless! Good to see our read aloud of “Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi” inspired deeper understanding of circles and new comedic spins! @coustaff@SCDSB_Schools
Candour is its own form of grace. An email and work received from a student. A human reminder. Despite little control but great stakes, they endure. Thank you students for all you teach us. @SCDSB_Schools@coustaff
Pulled Portrait anyone? 6/7s engaged in the design process...Covid styles. Constructing marker contraptions ✔️ Portrait drawing ✔️True to life results...well, finally a picture that got my good side! @coustaff@SCDSB_Schools#dreamitandsteamit
Time put the work boots on! Grit Grinder is back. Big congrats to the first 6/7 to battle their way to the Grit Grinder of the Week! Effort, perseverance, duty, dedication, and service across social/academic learning-a thing of beauty! @coustaff
