The Grade 5s @TDSBForestManor found that there’s a need for alternative learning spaces in the city of Toronto. One S even coined a term STREAM (Science, Tech, Robotics, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics). We’re sure this term will catch on. @Ms_JWong@TDSB_ConEd
We enjoy #literacy skill practice while dancing with Hedbanz @TDSBWilkinson! Music got us moving! When it stopped, it was reading (& recording) made fun! Grade 5s noted hard/soft C #spellingrules. Grade 2/3s practiced reading & spelling words with r-controlled vowels. #SoR#tier1
Some of the lovely heart maps students created today! Students mapped out who and/or what has a special place in their hearts. Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️
Biography time! Ss sorted historical figures & quickly realized… “but Ms. Wong, some people belong to more than one category!”💡This led to resorting in a way that better recognizes intersecting identities. Who will Ss research about? Who do they think made/makes a difference?🤔
Take a second look at the agamographs Grade 5’s created to celebrate the new year! Depending on the angle as you walk by, you may see 2024 🎉 or a word that students chose to describe the year. Planning to do these again for transformations in geometry!
Ss examined ridership stats from TTC to find out on avg how many people visit each station in Dec. After rounding together, (#’s are in their thousands), they calculated using area model and algorithm. How is this info helpful for the city and do these #’s change in the year? 🚇
Team TicTacToe-a fun way to show what we know! Grade 5s @TDSBWilkinson have been explicitly taught spelling rules for protecting short vowels (-tch/-dge/-ck). Why not make listening for phonemes to make spelling choices fun? In this game, everyone wins! #spellingRULES#SoR#games
Friday’s are for mild vs spicy math challenges where students can apply the skills they have been learning throughout the week. This week we focused on✖️ and➕! Students then compared their problem solving skills with their peers 🧠 Look at all their great thinking!
First #tdsbcamp today and feeling SO inspired by all the passionate educators out there using digital tools to transform student learning in a meaningful way. Thank you @TDSB_GC and @TDSB_DLL for organizing and facilitating!
That’s a wrap! @TDSBForestManor summer school welcomed families to take a peek at what students accomplished this month. We then took a moment to reflect on the journey and read their feedback together. So proud of you Wolves! 🐺👏 @TDSB_ConEd Thanks for the awesome time! 😊
19 days of awesome with this year’s @TDSBForestManor summer school teachers. Thanks to the M.V.P. Principal Bowles, community volunteer partners, and support staff for a another successful student experience. @TDSB_ConEd#TDSBSummer2023
The Grade 4s @TDSBForestManor explored how to improve their Toronto dwellings so that they are more eco friendly. Lots of innovation :) @Ms_JWong#TDSBSummer2023
