Turns out “pie day” is a lot stickier than “pi day” 😜🧁love that for us.. $$ raised for TVDSB Caring Fund @mountsfieldps

Encouraging appreciation for the items, places, and people who make @mountsfieldps a special place! Each student wrote multiple letters and placed them around the school in hopes others would share a mindful moment and care for our school! ✨ grade 2/3 @TVDSBLiteracy

When last year’s students ask to come work with this year’s students, the answer is always “yes, yes, yes!!” 😃 🍎 gr 7 Ss modelling and coaching gr 2/3s through counting on, and/or sorting coins to add @mountsfieldps

We made butter because it’s fun! …and to compare our daily lives with those in the early 1800s 😃🤓 The word chains are unrelated, but another task we frequently ask to do because we say its fun 😂 @mountsfieldps

[C Bell @MsC_Bell]

When you follow the Ss excitement and motivation for fractions, it always leads to fun places! 😜 Each colour of sprinkles represents an important aspect of kindness 🍩 We then wrote about what kindness means to us #SprinkleKindness @mountsfieldps @TVDSB

Wowza! Impressed by how these 2/3 Ss independently (yes, really 😍) solved Day 2 of TVDSB’s Winter Math Challenge. About how many chocolates are in the box of 225g if 3 weight 38g? @FerreroNACorp We worked out that ~18 was most reasonable! ✏️🧮 @mountsfieldps @TVDSB #Math

Student explaining how he worked out: About how many chocolates are in a 225g box if 3 chocolates = 38g? Together we got to 12.5g per chocolate, and Ss did the rest! 💜✏️🧮 @TVDSB @tvdsbmathk8 @mountsfieldps

Great to see #STEAM approaches happening in Grade 6! @MsC_Bell

We are deeply interested in Space🚀🌚 learning about how angles determine distance, planet rotations, temperatures, length of days/years, & how to direct spacecraft. We loved live streaming the launch of JUICE launch week! #ESA #NASA @mountsfieldps #tvdsb #grade6 #inquiryproject

We see how applying what we know about electricity helps us to accomplish desired projects, and to find creative ways to engage with others. “I can touch him to complete the circuit and actually play his project!” @mountsfieldps @tvdsb

Using Makey-Makey and various materials around the room to explore conductors and insulators! 💡🔌🪫🖇 @mountsfieldps

Me on Thurs: “Mug Day tomorrow! Remember a cup!” 😃 Student on Fri: “Here’s the cup needed for hot chocolate”…. 😂❤️ Immeasurable joy and laughter ensued! #MountsfieldMustangs @mountsfieldps

[C Bell @MsC_Bell]

Couldn’t possibly agree more ✔️

[The Thinking School @Thinkingschool2]

Teaching kids is the best part of the job.

It's all the other stuff that gets in the way of teachers doing that which is draining!

[C Bell @MsC_Bell]

Share your calm 💕🌱

Hearing, seeing, and wondering about nature enhances our creativity! So many lines and textures to be inspired by… 🌬🍃🌎☀️ @mountsfieldps #grade7
