Excited to share the SED Pathway for kindergarten at today’s Spark Your September summer learning session with @nicolafacchini2 Supporting educators and students for bright beginnings 💛📖
🌟 Big smiles, little steps, and giant leaps today in our Day in K pilot program! Together with families, we're building bridges to bright beginnings and strong kindergarten entry pathways. 💛📚 @nicolafacchini2
@fourmonkeys4me What a beautiful family ! I think of this class and you all often. Grateful to have been part of the journey. But 17 isn’t possible is it ? Am I that old ? lol
“Am I saying you should invest your resources in kindergarten and Grade 1? Yes I am.”

3500 HWDSB future grad t-shirts boxed and ready to be sent to schools today. Don’t let these trollies fool you. There were so many more boxes unseen. 😂 Can’t wait to see our new to K students in these adorable shirts! @nicolafacchini2 (not pictured Dana Kingdon)
It’s been a minute since I’ve shared on here ! But this reel is a great way to get back in the game. This week @nicolafacchini2 , Susan Willis, had so much fun working with 150 incredible DECE’s learning about math ! https://t.co/04c6a773ux
I love this organizer that @msbeaulne and @nicolafacchini2 shared with us today. This just touches on some ideas. Appreciate how it made me think though about literacy in play and different ways to support instruction.❤️
Thanks to @msbeaulne and @nicolafacchini2 for a fantastic session today on Kindergarten, play, and literacy. I appreciated the reflection time and the focus on partnerships. It was great to see the @etfo book on partnerships referenced here. ❤️
Sending so much gratitude and thanks to all of the incredible DECE colleagues I get to work with. I am so fortunate to work and learn alongside you! Especially @nicolafacchini2, you are the best of the best!
My favourite part of today’s learning: @kingdon_dana taking us through the awesome spot, and thinking about how it can support self-regulation through the connection to the senses ! It was, dare I say, as AWESOME as its name implies.

We are back ! Starting the 2024-2025 school year off strong with two summer institute days this week. First up: Supporting Social Emotional Development in kindergarten with @kingdon_dana
As we begin to close out the 23/24 school year, I reflect on the year I’ve had. The ability to connect with so many dedicated, passionate educators across FOS 5. I have learned so much from each of you. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey !
