We are using bee bots in our grade 2 classroom to do lots of great learning about coding!

Today in grade 4 math we got to use different STEM bins with pattern blocks, legos, and tangrams to complete a variety of task cards!

That’s a wrap on RAL 2024! 📚 Proud of our incredible staff, dedicated students, & everyone who made this year's program a success. Huge thanks to @MrHill_LDSB for your outstanding leadership, guiding numerous instructional leaders along the way. Honoured to continue your legacy!

This week, Class 5 worked hard on different spelling patterns, word sums with the suffix -ly, and completing sentence stems with the conjunctions because, but, and so! @ReadALotLDSB @MollyBrant_LDSB

[Sierra Darton @MsDartonPJ]

At Read-a-Lot we end every day by celebrating the hard work and learning that has taken place. Many students like to celebrate their learning by reading our fluency text to the class. Great job, readers! @ReadALotLDSB @MollyBrant_LDSB

[Sierra Darton @MsDartonPJ]

We were ready for the Read-a-Lot Program open house today! Students were excited to show off their learning through games, fluency texts, and their goals. @ReadALotLDSB @MollyBrant_LDSB

Today at Camp Read-a-Lot we did lots of practice with encoding to consolidate our short vowels as well as our digraphs! @ReadALotLDSB

[Read-A-Lot SLP @ReadALotLDSB]

So many activities during Targeted Small Groups @MollyBrant_LDSB! Class 5 working was on their code and using it in sentences. This student has worked so hard all week and wanted to share! We love to celebrate! 🥳✍️

[Sierra Darton @MsDartonPJ]

Today at Camp Read-A-Lot we did a digraph word sort for one of our phonics groups. In morphology, we created word sums with the suffix -ed. Lots of great learning is taking place! @ReadALotLDSB

[Read-A-Lot SLP @ReadALotLDSB]

All trained up and ready for Monday! Couldn’t be prouder of this group of dedicated educators!

This week in grade 3/4 we learned about catapults and how they were used in early societies. We had a variety of materials to explore and use to create our own catapults!

[Sierra Darton @MsDartonPJ]

This week in Grade 3/4 we are becoming word detectives! This means we are searching for the spelling patterns that we are learning in our independent reading books. This week, we are focusing on r-controlled vowels!

Showing our thinking from phonics in the morning to math in the afternoon. #morphemes#UFLI#BTC @HarrowPS_LDSB @MsDartonPJ

[Sierra Darton @MsDartonPJ]

Today in Grade 3/4 math we did an open-ended word problem inspired by Building Thinking Classrooms. We saw so many different ways of thinking and developed our collaboration skills!

[Sierra Darton @MsDartonPJ]

After reading Silverwing by Kenneth Oppel, the Grade 3/4s have created some redacted poetry using a passage from the novel. This is a great way for students to show their understanding of a text through art! 📖🖼️

Grade 3/4 students practising their addition, multiplication, and division math fact fluency by playing a variety of fun games!
