When it’s your first time rocking your UFLI encoding test, you get a visit to the office to celebrate! @CityFalcons @gecdsbpro @MelindaHinch

We have been trying out some new ways to practice our new skills every week. We loved the online UFLI games and adding cars to our Roll and Read! Small group fun. @CityFalcons @gecdsbpro

[Mrs. Douglas @MsDouglas3]

These grade 1s are rocking their writing thanks to UFlI and their love of learning. 🥰 @CityFalcons @gecdsbpro

Happy 50th Day of school! @gecdsbpro @CityFalcons

[Mrs. Douglas @MsDouglas3]

Teamwork makes the dream work. They love their jobs and they take pride in keeping our classroom clean and ready for learning. @gecdsbpro @CityFalcons

@Ms_MDeMarco @CityFalcons Nobody knocked on our door! 😔

[Mrs. Douglas @MsDouglas3]

@Ms_MDeMarco I love this so much! I’m so glad it went well and the students enjoyed it.

[Mrs. Douglas @MsDouglas3]

We start every day with our mantra. We do this to help students gain confidence, build a growth mindset and truly believe in themselves. Our words echoed louder in the halls on Orange Shirt Day #everychildmatters @CityFalcons @gecdsbpro

Grade 1s loving Camp Day! Songs, s’mores, flashlight reading by the campfire! @gecdsbpro @CityFalcons @mrsbrittnguyen

[Mrs. Douglas @MsDouglas3]

What a WONDERFUL time spent at STEAM night @BellewoodBisons . From robots to slime, painting to bubbles…oh and some cotton candy to keep us moving and grooving!

[Mrs. Douglas @MsDouglas3]

These faces say it all - pride, excitement, confidence and pure joy! This is what staff do for kiddos during their breaks. Thank you @CityFalcons for lighting a spark in our students with extracurriculars like choir. This made my heart sing!! @gecdsbpro @mrsbrittnguyen

[Mrs. Douglas @MsDouglas3]

How are we successful in 1D? Support, support, support. Three small groups running and so much learning happening! @gecdsbpro @CityFalcons

[Mrs. Douglas @MsDouglas3]

@MelindaHinch @CityFalcons @ClaraHowitt @MikeWil03652704 @cmills_gecdsb It was a pleasure having you in our class. It takes amazing professionals like you and @mme_lehman, mentors like @cobrasLS and the BEST teaching partner in town @mrsbrittnguyen - team work makes the dream work!

[Mrs. Douglas @MsDouglas3]

My heart ❤️ smiled today when a student made her classmates each a gift to celebrate her own birthday! A small cup of wildflowers to help our bees. “From seeds of kindness love grows.” @gecdsbpro @CityFalcons

1 D has been learning about different types of energy - wind, electrical, gas etc. Today we built paper boats and sailed them in puddles with a little help from the wind! @gecdsbpro @CityFalcons

Word Mapping Tool - Possibly the best thing ‘borrowed’ online! ⁦@gecdsbpro⁩ ⁦@CityFalcons⁩ Don’t know how to map it? Search it! https://t.co/u1Kg7SQonR

[Mrs. Douglas @MsDouglas3]

1D is loving UFLI and the new skills they are learning. This week we are focussing on the double letter rule after a short vowel. Our word work had students encoding words like sniff, fizz and loss. @gecdsbpro @CityFalcons

[Mrs. Douglas @MsDouglas3]

Ready to start our new Science/Literacy unit after March Break. Guiding questions, key science words and new vibrant words to be explored! Thanks to @mme_lehman & @cobrasLS Stay tuned to see where the Grade 1s @CityFalcons take their learning. @gecdsbpro

[Mrs. Douglas @MsDouglas3]

@MissHElmi Love this idea!!! Can I ask how??? We a daily mantra and are currently working on an ‘I am’ project. This would compliment it so nicely!

[Mrs. Douglas @MsDouglas3]

Today 1D played Mystery Sentence using only letter sounds to guess. If the sound is not in the word I added a part to a snowman. They had to guess the sentence before I built the snowman! Great twist on an old classic! @gecdsbpro @CityFalcons
