On fait 10 avec les réglettes! Exploring with cuisenaire rods, visualizing and consolidating many ways we can make 10. Love the creativity, love seeing each student access the challenge in their own way and love seeing them show their thinking. @EcoleMaple_LDSB

[Mme O @coleschuk]

Lots of learning & growth in our literacy blocks! Using the code we know to practice encoding. Ladders for segmenting & blending, Sentences for heart words, punctuation, spacing & capitals! The excitement & delight when they succeed - tellement fière! ⭐️🩵 @EcoleMaple_LDSB

[Mme O @coleschuk]

On se souvient. We remember.
Thank you to those who serve and have served. Thank you to the families of those who serve and have served. Thank you for your sacrifices. On est reconnaissant pour la paix. @EcoleMaple_LDSB

Doing some individual math check ins wearing my green visor ( qui veut dire Mme O fait 1:1) while the vedettes do independent work with choix flexibles for seating. Love these learning moments! 🩵⭐️ @EcoleMaple_LDSB

Another day in our happy place learning together and learning to care for and about the land, the creatures, the plants and each other. ⭐️🩵🌎@EcoleMaple_LDSB

Our math block was spent outside with Mme Mundell during Day 2 of our Learning on the Land project. We played patterns with dogwood sticks, a guessing game with sticks behind our backs using our 5 and 10 anchors & so much more. 🩵⭐️ @EcoleMaple_LDSB

[Mme O @coleschuk]

Our week with Mme Mundell learning on the land began with a walk and visit to the woods. We used our senses and were quiet. We shared our observations & wondered about the changes we noticed. How lucky we are to learn outside ! @EcoleMaple_LDSB @LimestoneDSB

November Cheerios fundraiser is here, in the memory of Brady Faroldi. We are collecting cereal boxes for schools to make sure all students have a great start to the day. @foodsharingproj @EcoleMaple_LDSB

[Mme O @coleschuk]

Exploring symmetry with rangolis - using miras, pattern blocks & coloured sand outside. An extension to our learning about impermanence in art & also a lesson in patience & cooperation on such a windy day. Merci amis de @Mme_Desmarais for joining us. @EcoleMaple_LDSB

[Mme O @coleschuk]

Painting diyas with instrumental music 🎵playing, comfy in our pyjamas. Bravo les vedettes for your calm focus and attention to details @EcoleMaple_LDSB

[Mme O @coleschuk]

What a busy day wearing Orange and Black! Halloween themed movement breaks, STEM challenges, symmetry in math, encoding practice with Mme O and lots of yummy treats! Happy Halloween les vedettes! @EcoleMaple_LDSB

[Mme O @coleschuk]

Dancing Break for APQ/DPA with a dance to celebrate Diwali 🩷💜 ⭐️ @EcoleMaple_LDSB

[Mme O @coleschuk]

Il y’a dix pommes.🍎 Math today had a ? with multiple correct answers. We used randomized groups, wipeable vertical surfaces & gallery walks. Listen if you have the marker, explain your ideas to others, build on & include new ideas. 💡Les vedettes are thinking⭐️ @EcoleMaple_LDSB

[Mme O @coleschuk]

Learning about Diwali this week - a festival of lights celebrated over 5 days. We ended our day by drawing diyas using pastel and sharpie. @EcoleMaple_LDSB

[Mme O @coleschuk]

J’adore mes collègues et les vedettes!

[Madame Louise @Louise17adam]

A super morning planting with “Les vedettes” de @coleschuk @EcoleMaple_LDSB

[Mme O @coleschuk]

Working in the garden this morning with Mrs Hart, la classe de Madame Louise @Louise17adam et Madame Maeve. Merci Mrs Hart for teaching us about how bulbs grow and why we plant in autumn. We cannot wait to see les jonquilles 🌼 et les tulipes au printemps! @EcoleMaple_LDSB

[Mme O @coleschuk]

Part of our building fact fluency this week - a game for making 10 with some strategy to make the longest string of your coloured tokens. Les maths sont amusants!

[Mme O @coleschuk]

Our visual arts invitations included 3 options embracing “impermanence” : painting on rocks with water; mandalas with natural elements; pictures or sculptures of animals with natural elements. We created accepting it would change. Big ideas in Gr 1 @EcoleMaple_LDSB @takemeoutside

[Mme O @coleschuk]

Our classroom for our first learning block yesterday was in the woods. We observed, explored, collaborated and shared. So grateful for les vedettes, this outdoor space, Mme Brown and our moments spent learning together. @ambibrown @EcoleMaple_LDSB @takemeoutside

[Mme O @coleschuk]

🎼 Le vent et la pluie
font une mélodie,
Que j’entends blottit,
au fond de mon lit. 🎶

During our circle time for @takemeoutside we paused to look up. The wind blew, the leaves fluttered down & les vedettes ⭐️ spontaneously began to sing our song together. 🩵
