My grade 1/2 students did such a great job during their partner reading session using their “Ask, Then Tell” strategy cards. Thank you for this fantastic idea @MellyT3182

I love how a simple morning message can turn into a review of the literacy concepts we have learned. @BGCDSB

The first two days have been a success with our classroom elf Bob! During their free time, students were writing letters to him! This authentic writing was some of the best writing I have seen this year and they weren’t even asked to do it!

This little one in my class had on the perfect shirt for bullying awareness month! And we celebrated the nice weather with some outdoor learning! ☀️

With some help from coffee, I have made it through the first two days back to school!

Lessons from an almost 7 year old. I bought my nephew a snap circuits kit for his birthday. He asked me to help him build it and I told him I wasn’t very good at this kind of stuff. He responded: “yes, you are! Be proud of what you can do!” This kid is the best!

Thank goodness for some good isolation reading material! Interesting to read about the impact of teachers and admin on current educators! Makes me thinking about the impact my past teachers had on me and the impact I hope to leave on current and future students!
