Wow!! Check out what a simple task can tell us about what skills our Gr 1 writers have. โWhat do you want to be when you grow upโ. Thanks @MissSakinsClass & @MsWigoodsClass for letting me come in and giving me your best work. @RSHWDSB@McLeanMr
My โค๏ธ for this alphabet outside in the kindergarten area grows again this year. Learning can happen anywhere. Year 1โs were showing me their skills: letter names & sounds, in a non-stressful environment @RSHWDSB
Curriculum night at Rosedale was a great success last Thursday. It was great to have families come in and explore some new ideas to try at home. @SteveYull#literacy#math
We love to play games in K! Not only are we learning letter names and sounds but also some math (how to read a die and move the correct number of spaces). @Highview_HWDSB @RSHWDSB#HWDSBphonics
The power of reading. Lots can happen in K when students are given the opportunity to explore print. These students are helping each other learn new vocabulary and develop fluency. @SteveYull@RSHWDSB#HWDSBfluency#HWDSBreading
Authentic writing happening in this K room all based on student interest. Started with making puppets, which then turned into creating a sign for their show and finally putting on the show. #HWDSBphonics@McLeanMr @Highview_HWDSB @RSHWDSB
Started our next round of power up reading groups in gr 1 @Highview_HWDSB this week. Thanks @MissSakins for having me in your room during this time. Starting each day with a shared reading poem. So many possibilities with it #HWDSBphonics#HWDSBfluency@RSHWDSB@McLeanMr
Great vocabulary being taught in K! Day 1 of modeled reading. Thank you for letting me come in and introduce this weeks new words. @RSHWDSB @Highview_HWDSB @McLeanMr#HWDSBvocabulary
Check out some of the words that can be made from just 7 letters. Great job grade 1s. Everyone was able to come up with some on their own. #HWDSBphonics@jlbaynham@SteveYull@RSHWDSB
What a great Family Literacy Day at Highview yesterday. It was great to see the parents and kids trying some new activities that they can use at home. Everyone loved their take home rings. #earlyliteracy#HWDSBreading@RSHWDSB@McLeanMr
