Yesterday we had a wonderful Outdoor Ed experience with a special guest from the Environmental Centre! We learned about math in nature with counting, sorting, and making patterns with the natural math tools outside in our school yard! @WilfridJuryPS@tvdsbmathk8
The greatest addition to my classroom this year is using the VNPS whiteboard as a math wall! Students are loving the question of the day and having opportunities to explain their work as “the teacher”. ☺️ Thanks @charlene_cote for the awesome idea! @WilfridJuryPS
Teamwork, collaboration, and number paths! Absolutely loved taking a step back and watching these 1s take control. I didn’t give them any instructions, just placed the number mats and representation cards on the floor and they created the magic! ✨ @WilfridJuryPS
Nothing better than building our reading confidence and having your classmates cheer for you!! ☺️✨ Using our power pointer fingers to track words and picture clues to help us! @WilfridJuryPS
Creativity, courage and collaboration was celebrated yesterday for “Dot Day”! 🧡We had so much fun with dot themed learning centres and even became authors to our first class book. Awesome day because of our amazing gr 1 team @MissFryday@charlene_cote@WilfridJuryPS
I am away for PD today, but according to my kids I am drinking A LOT of coffee, going to the beach, flying across the world for vacations in my private jet, going to “crazy meetings”, and eating potato chips on the couch. 😂😂 I am so glad they had fun with this! @WilfridJuryPS
This awesome experiment helped us test the stability of a single piece of paper rolled into a cylinder. We were AMAZED at how much weight it could hold! We practiced applying force gently to make sure we didn’t pull/push the weight of our books to be unbalanced! @WilfridJuryPS
A conversation with my students this morning moved me to tears. We shared how we felt about the tragic deaths of an innocent family in our community. In the words of 8/9 year olds, “that’s just not fair, we are all human. We all should be loved.” “We need to respect everyone.” 🤍
