We have been learning about how the size of our reactions should match the size of our problems. One #kindergarten Ss shared, “If you make a mistake on your picture, you can fix it. It’s a small problem so you don’t need to yell or tear your picture.” #wellbeing #tdsb @TDSB_CYS

@CreativeKindie This is brilliant! I love that they each have their own little book to refer to, share with family, and keep forever. Such a meaningful way to teach and reinforce skills we all need to practise.

We have daily mindfulness sessions in Room 110 & discuss emotions, sensations & self-reg strategies. This CMHW we created a 📖 about feelings & included strategies that help us regulate. We will bring it home 2 share with our families #tdsbcmhw2023 #howwedowellness #Kindergarten

We read “The Shape of Home”
by Rashin Kheiriyeh & were inspired by her vibrant illustrations. We talked about where we & our families are from & the shape of home. #kindergarten Ss looked at maps, used sharpies to draw outlines & @Crayola to 🎨. #identity @AllenbyPS_TDSB #tdsb

Our class has been celebrating #EarthDay2023 all week. We started by reading @toddparr’s “The Earth Book” & making the 🌎 with #looseparts. We then painted the background of our #selfportraits with blue & green & chose to #reuse cardboard to make our faces. @AllenbyPS_TDSB #tdsb

@CreativeKindie @AllenbyPS_TDSB @tdsbAfricanHM I love this!

We have been learning about African-American artist, Romare Bearden. We created this #collaborative #mixedmedia #art that is inspired by Romare Bearden’s “The Block.” @AllenbyPS_TDSB come take a look. It’s in the #kindergarten hallway. @tdsbAfricanHM #tdsb #earlyyears

life changes all around us, but it is gentle and kind. In the good and the unpleasant, there is always love, and there is always time.(1/2)

Here is a short note to share with families that outlines what decodable books are + helpful reading strategies.
It also gives families a few options to access decodables that are free to read at home.

Thank you all for your feedback for the #sor document I created. As a mother to a dyslexic 12 year old, founder of Decoding Dyslexia Quebec & advocate for #dyslexia & #sor I had to create one about dyslexia https://t.co/aWaO2Qi9jI

The #kindergarten Ss in Room 110 are getting excited about #Halloween and we are reading all 3 #creepy 📚 by @areynoldsbooks. Our #STEAM challenge today was to create a “creepy crayon” & use @ChatterPixIt to tell a story. @AllenbyPS_TDSB #literacy #earlyyears #tdsb #storytelling
