After learning about digestion yesterday in HFA, students created their own models of the digestive system today! Really impressed with these, great work wildcats!
This week, my ELD students were working with the theme “food”, and learned different English phrases used in ordering from a restaurant. On Friday, students practiced their skills by ordering a donut from me🍩
Beautiful day to visit local farms to gather fresh Ontario summer fruit! Preparing to freeze for future local foods lessons and labs in HFA🍓🫐 @WestminsterSS
Such a thoughtful goodbye gift from an amazing colleague and friend! Thanks for all the memories Montcalm. So excited for all the new memories to come at West🖤💛
Time to share some exciting news - I have accepted a permanent Family Studies/ESL contract position at Westminster! So excited to join the Wildcats in September🖤💛
Awesome day of learning at Instructional Practices in Thinking Classrooms PD today! Big thanks to TVDSB for my starter kit - I can’t wait to implement this type of teaching and learning with my students!
Today in DE, we talked about emotions and how all emotions are important for helping us communicate our needs. We also discussed ways to cope with different emotions. Students completed a fun PlayDoh placemat activity exploring different emotions. #TVDSBShinyMomentsOurStory
Just in time for Mental Health week, we discussed mental health and wellness in HSP today. Students finished class by circulating through mental wellness stations, and many left class with a new mental health strategy to implement! #TVDSBShinyMomentsOurStory
The signs of trust that you earn from students are sometimes subtle. You have to watch for them. Showing up, trying something that isn’t guaranteed, sharing something personal. #youth#trust#relationships#education
This week in DE, we read “Our Class is a Family” together and talked about how we can each contribute to a happy and safe classroom. Students created class posters with their promise to their classroom family, and students with sensory needs engaged with a themed sensory box!🧡🖤
Absolutely thrilled to say that I will be returning to @MontcalmCougars as a permanent teacher! Also very excited to be joining the @ClarkeRoad community as well next year💙💛🧡🖤
