Kindergarten teacher exploring Reggio inspired practices

Each week we send out a MENU plan of ideas for our Kindergarten students. I am loving all of the engagement with these hands on activities!

As part of the first week of connecting with the community, @NicomeklSchool staff shared some love for their families by video. Well done Cougars - we are in this together! #MySD35Community https://t.co/v3VLjnjw8z

Here is an open-ended writing idea... make sure you ask your parents first to write on your windows 😬

[Kristin Barber @KristinBarber17]

Don’t ask school leaders and teachers if they are happy to “have time off”. No, we are not happy and our hearts ache for our students. We want to be at school. We want to see our kids. We want to meet their needs. We want our normal back. #COVIDー19 #PrincipalLife #BetterTogether

K students are learning to connect with others, recognize their feelings and share ideas. #corecompetencies #think35

The Best Part of Me, I love hearing what they love about themselves and why!

I can remember releasing butterflies in my own Grade 1 class and what a special thing it was to do it with my own group this year... 🥰

[Samantha Simard @SamanthaSimard1]

The great butterfly release! #getoutside #butterflyinquiry

Carefully observing our chrysalides... What do you notice? What do you wonder?

[Samantha Simard @SamanthaSimard1]

Watching our caterpillars grow each day is so exciting! The kids worked carefully on our collaborative life cycle art.

Do kids understand how proactive approaches to Self-Regulation help them with learning? You be the judge! Shout out to @ParksideE for sharing your Brain Gym program and support structures to help us with our APFL goals around SEL!! #rethinkProD #think35 #sel

I was observing kindergarten writing workshop when I noticed a child staring unhappily at a blank page. I asked her, “How’s it going?” She said, “I can’t think of ANY words!” I said, “I get that! How about starting with a letter?” She paused, picked up her pencil and wrote: “T”.
