Here is how our #MakerSpace began: after reading “The Most Magnificent Thing,” we were inspired to create a space to imagine, plan, create, fail, revise, improve, collaborate, and share our creations! Excited to see the learning that’ll happen here! #STEAM @McKeeSchool @LC2_TDSB

A month long inquiry into the kind of classroom we want to have this year (and the role that our daily choices play in that) has culminated in the co-creation of our Community Agreement #waytobein103

This morning we scaffolded how one might use loose parts to represent a flower. We used a photograph of a daisy as our inspiration and worked together to choose loose parts to represent each part of the flower. @Natalia_DaSilv4 Thanks for the suggestion @booklamations

Look. Think. Do. Share. Our motto in Room 106. F took a good look at the materials in the creative centre and built the materials he wanted to use during Learning & Discovering. “I made a car and a plane and a truck!” - F

So proud of these carefully created portraits. Students were so excited and proud to be able to take a closer look at themselves. We are developing a sense of belonging and contributing in our space and celebrating what makes us unique and diverse.

Coming soon! Exploration Classrooms for TDSB new teachers to explore. Thanks to all future hosts and facilitators.

Bringing some outdoor exploring inside. Students were intrigued by some objects fallen around our trees. What do we see, think and wonder? Could it be a coconut like in the tree from Chicka Chicka Boom Boom?

[ms.van @_msvp]

Starting our year with some incredible mindful moments outside, using our eyes, noses, ears and touch to explore what’s in our courtyard.

Wow the first day of school for JK students is intense! I have a new found respect for kindergarten teachers. This little girl’s mom had to rush to work on her first day so I waited for the school bell to ring with her. #FirstDayOfSchool @TDSB_Firgrove @tdsb
