Today’s #TakeMeOutsideDay was so much fun! The students had a blast with their scavenger hunt, finding living vs non living things they see, and sketch noting! So glad the weather held out for us today ☺️☑️

Who knew that Thursdays could be so sweet? Gr. 5+6s not only baked raspberry tarts today, but learned about Francophone culture and how to play the spoons. Merci beaucoup @Chefalecole pour la bonne journée ❤️!

2A voted this week for what the new Cheetah cubs at the Toronto Zoo should be named! They loved being part of something special and making connections what they have learned in our animal unit 💚!

Happy Easter friends! Hope everyone today (regardless if they celebrate Easter or not) can find something egg-straordinary about themselves like 2A did this week 💚💛💜!

Happy International Francophonie Day, UGDSB. Today we focus on sharing and appreciating the French language and francophone culture that makes Canada such a diverse country.

What a fun way to launch into the weekend! 2A had a blast with the “Catapult Challenge” (using a lever to get a Mike&Ike into a cup)today. Loved their trial & error approach and seeing their excitement when they achieved success 🧠🥰 @GlenbrookES

This week with Mme White: We learned more about different holidays and expressions, were crafty and creative, played trivia games to see what we know, and formed connections to ourselves and the world. Such a jam packed week, but they had so much fun 🥰!

Today, 2A “lit” the first candle of the menorah and learned about what happens on each night of Hanukkah. They were so excited and keen on following the tradition of candle #Hanukkah2021 #Hanukkah

For the 2nd day of Diwali, 2A brought out their dancing shoes as they learned the “Diwali Dance” from @BollyGroove ! Not only was it a fun body break but it was another great way to extend our learning ☺️ #happydiwali2021

[Mme White @mmecwhite]

For the first day of Diwali, 2A decorated homemade diyas after learning more about their meaning and use within the celebration. They not only had fun, but asked great questions that led to deeper connections. Can’t wait for Day 2! #Diwali #UGDSB

Today’s “French Air Friday” brought out 7A’s best dance moves as we tried out the DR of the Congo’s sport Nzango! We learned about its French roots and how it worked, then put on our boogie shoes and had fun 💙🧡. Love seeing these authentic French connections through play!

“Take Me Outside Day” 3.0 was a success! 4-8 students explored their own backyard to complete a French activity, while 2A used outside items for their “textual” art to celebrate the outdoors 🌿 #TMOASDS2021 #TakeMeOutsideDay #TMO4LearningChallenge #UGLearnGreen

The rain held off yesterday, which means we got to have our “French Air Friday”. 7A got to try the francophone country of Belgium’s game: “Krachtbal” and had a blast! Love seeing them learn through play, the outdoors and making connections between French countries 👌🏽

[Mme White @mmecwhite]

In 2A, students explored National Day of Truth and Reconciliation using the key question words. We took our answers to the “why” and created digital art. Still blown away by their powerful words #education #NDTR #EveryChildMatters #learnunlearnrelearn

This week’s “Fresh Air Friday” in French, 8B and 7A got to try the French game of “Pétanque” - combining Francophone culture and fun in their new unit of sports and hobbies in French

The 1s made their own “Super Structures” using only 2 materials, as an end of the week fun-tivity! They never cease to amaze me with their creativity and always surpasta my expectations 👏🏼👏🏼
