This week’s reading centres have @SACTVDSB students reading maps, completing logic puzzles, learning and playing new card games as well as learning to tie a variety of knots. @TVDSBLiteracy
This month students are exploring all the ways we read other than a novel. Today we learned how to play some new board games by reading the instructions. Reading with a purpose. #TVDSBLiteracy@SACTVDSB
Ss sewed spirit bears in recognition of the comforts and culture taken from children at residential schools and to demonstrate the deep connection and respect Indigenous people have with nature. So grateful to collaborate with @dcadieux5 in the LLC @SACTVDSB!
Used manipulatives to represent our 4 monolingual Ss, 18 bilingual Ss and 4 trilingual Ss. Domino pips on the left of the tile represent the number of letters in the language name and the pips on the right showing the number of speakers.
Outside the box thinking @SACTVDSB!
The grade 5s and 6s @SACTVDSB have enjoyed checking in with a variety of 'scales'. We all get a good laugh when someone imitates their picture instead of typing the number.
It's still a learning process for me, but teaching health with inclusive language such as person with a penis and person with a vagina has made all the difference to some of my students. What's good for some is beneficial to all!
We expanded our vocabulary through games @SACTVDSB. Our read aloud has many challenging words. Students listened for words they did not know and created their own 'balderdash' (1 real definition and 2 fake). For each person they tricked they got a point! @TVDSBLiteracy
I can see these 3 picture writing prompts as a great low floor, high ceiling activity. Accessible for so many students including ELLs. I am sure the students would also love creating their own 3 picture series for us to use. @TVDSBLiteracy https://t.co/KklkHZXshw
While walking to the gym today, instead of the usual 'What are we playing?' a student excitedly told me about the latest plot developments in his partner novel. He remarked, "It is getting so good!" Thanks @dcadieux5 for helping the Gr.8s find engaging novels to read together!
@kimanders0n There is a cool international art installation. Part in Dublin and part in Toronto that depicts Irish emigrating to North America during the famine. It would be cool to hear what the studnets would create to connect their home countries and Canada. https://t.co/xP3SvinevN.
@kraekerc@kimanders0n We're cognizant about doing games that involve students using individual equipment so that germs are less likely to spread via shared balls/equipment. All of tvdsb has the same PE covid measures documents.
