Honoured today to be at Blaydon PS in grade 1! Thank you Rita!! I reflected on how much joy there is in the learning all around! Co constructing and exploring with an inquiry approach on sounds and letters based on children’s Identities, strengths and stories.
This week we listened, learned and reflected on Phyllis Webstad’s story, With Our Orange Hearts. Gr1: “When Phyllis tells her story, we listen with our hearts to show we care. Every Child Matters.” #EveryChildMatters@BlaydonPs
The TDSB flags will be at half-mast in honour of the 215 children whose remains were uncovered in a mass unmarked grave in Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc. As we continue the work, there cannot be reconciliation without truth.
Today, one of my Gr5 Ss proudly talked about #Nowruz and showed us how to (virtually) prepare the items her family includes on a haft-sin table (a copy of Jamboard activity linked below). Nowruz Mubarak to everyone who celebrates! #ESL @tdsbvs @tammysross1 @teachertsolos
Gr 5 students are exploring different perspectives with the text, "Voices in the Park" by A. Browne. #ESL @tdsbvs @tammysross1 @teachertsolos @LC2_TDSB Click here for a copy of the Jamboard activity (created with @canva): https://t.co/edlxzSPpZG
Gr5 Ss made inferences about the characters & events in “Each Kindness” (J. Woodson) and honestly reflected upon their own experiences to help them take on the different POVs. #antibullying#KindnessMatters#ESL @tdsbvs @LC2_TDSB @teachertsolos @tammysross1
An invitation for Ss to discuss anti-bullying by taking on the perspectives of the bully, the bullied, the bystander and the ally. Thx @MrsMorrow07 for the inspiration to design a shirt using virtual loose parts! #PinkShirtDay2021 @tdsbvs @teachertsolos @tammysross1@LC2_TDSB

Virtual loose parts allow Ss to express their ideas in ways that extend beyond words-especially when Eng is their 2nd language! Thanks @HeatherRyanTDSB@KenrickDeodat@cmonson14 for the inspiration & tips on creating virtual play opportunities! @tdsbvs @teachertsolos @LC2_TDSB
Students designed a bukjumeoni using loose parts after after listening to the story “New Clothes for New Years Day.” Thank you @_ritamak for sharing another fabulous template 💜 @StGeorgesJPS
