Enjoying the gorgeous November weather and doing #math #outdoors. Ss used found #looseparts like sticks and twigs to make a variety of 2D #shapes #outdoorlearning #tdsb

[Ms. Campbell @bigideasinFDK]

We we have been talking about #peace and what peace means to us. We read @toddparr “The Peace Book” and Karen Katz’s “Can You Say Peace?” I 💗 my #kindergarten Ss ideas of what ✌️ peace is #tdsb @RolphRoadSchool

[Ms. Campbell @bigideasinFDK]

How are you feeling? Today we talked about our #feelings and used #emotion stones and #looseparts to represent our feelings. @toddparr #kindergarten @RolphRoadSchool #tdsb @TDSB_MHWB

Using our individual #looseparts from our discovery bins to show what we know about #sorting objects. #tdsb #esrlyyears #kindergarten #Mathematics @RolphRoadSchool

It’s #TreatiesRecognitionWeek.

Across the TDSB, we recognize the agreements that shape our province and bring awareness to Treaty rights and relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada. #TreatyON @UIEC_tdsb

[Ms. Campbell @bigideasinFDK]

A favourite part of my day is watching my #kindergarten Ss play and taking the time to #listen to them talk about what they’re doing. As #Piaget said, “Play is the work of childhood.” #earlyyears #tdsb #learningthroughplay

@WitcherECE @toddparr @AllenbyPS_TDSB @LogsInTO Look at all the authors in your class! Love these books

[Ms. Campbell @bigideasinFDK]

We read “Creepy Carrots” & Ss made their own creepy carrots & were tasked with designing a fence to contain their carrots just like in the book. Some Ss took it a step further & add guards/a roof to be sure their 🥕 didn’t escape. Thanks for the inspiration @MrsMacsKinders #tdsb

Using #looseparts to further explore and represent our thinking about water 💦 and the #water cycle. #inquiry #tdsb #earlyyears #kindergarten

Exploring spooky 👻 letters in #kindergarten this week as we used bones 🦴 of different sizes to make letters. Ss then write the letter and count how many bones were used. Bone letter templates from abcdeelearning on TPT. #literacy #math #earlyyears #tdsb #handsonlearning

@StephDonovan2 @AllenbyPS_TDSB @tdsb This is amazing @StephDonovan2! I love this so much!

[Ms. Campbell @bigideasinFDK]

Our #poem this week was “The Five Little Pumpkins 🎃” so it only made sense to give the Ss the STEM challenge of building a gate for the five little pumpkins. #kindergarten #tdsb @RolphRoadSchool #earlyyears

[Ms. Campbell @bigideasinFDK]

We made it rain with our rain 🌧 cloud in a jar #experiment. #kindergarten Ss were fascinated watching “rain” trickle down the side of our jar after I filled the jar with hot water and placed a plate of ice cubes on top. #inquiry #tdsb #earlyyears

Thank you to all the incredible ECEs that I have had the pleasure of co-teaching with including @WitcherECE & @klearnathon. You have taught me so much about #EarlyChildhood education. You are amazing educators and I love collaborating with you!#ECEAppreciationDay #tdsb

#TakeMeOutsideDay was spent participating in a Signs of Fall 🍁 #nature #ScavengerHunt and enjoying the mud! The worksheet is a freebie from LeeAnn Bollin’s TPT store. #tdsb @EcoSchoolsTDSB #kindergarten @SLarosa_tdsb @EarlyYearsTDSB @RolphRoadSchool

@MsCR0bins0n @CosmicKidsYoga @TDSB_MHWB @RolphRoadSchool I asked the students bring their own yoga mats to the classroom this year because we have no carpet due to covid. This way everyone has their own safe space.

[Ms. Campbell @bigideasinFDK]

#wellbeingwednesday yoga with @CosmicKidsYoga had #kindergarten students breathing, stretching, and laughing as they jumped up and down like monkeys. A calming savasana had us ready for a day of learning. @TDSB_MHWB #tdsb #SelfReg #earlyyears @RolphRoadSchool

[Ms. Campbell @bigideasinFDK]

It’s not fall without pumpkins 🎃 so today we #estimated how many seeds were in our class pumpkin, made observations about it & then used ten frames to #count the seeds. #handsonlearning #math #tdsb #Kindergarten #earlyyears

[Ms. Campbell @bigideasinFDK]

Our interest in ☔️ rain continues, today students wondered how much rain would fall during the school day. We placed a jar on our window ledge and waited until just before home time to see if #kindergarten Ss #prediction was correct. #inquiry #tdsb #science #earlyyears

[Ms. Campbell @bigideasinFDK]

Ss were provided with #looseparts and asked to tell a Fall 🍂 story. Each story has been very unique and descriptive. #storytelling #tdsb #earlyyears #literacy @RolphRoadSchool
