[Emma Gedge @msemmagedge]

We spend a lot of time discussing, practising and learning to be kind to others and sometimes we need to remember to teach the importance of being kind to ourselves. #isklproud @ISKLofficial #selfcare #SocialEmotionalLearning

#mindful moment of the day: balloon breathing. As you breathe in, imagine you are filling your lungs like a balloon. Raise your hands over your head as the balloon fills. As you breathe out, deflate your balloon arms slowly back to rest. #selfcare #isklproud @ISKLofficial

Expressing gratitude can have huge effects on children’s minds &wellbeing! Research shows that this habit helps kids feel less stressed and experience heightened positive emotions - joy, calm &happiness. Find a moment today to share gratitude! @ISKLofficial #isklproud #selfcare

#mindful moment of the day: elephant breathing. Stand with your legs apart with your arms hanging in front. As you breathe in, raise your hands high like an elephant trunk, and slowly swing your arms down as you breathe out. #selfcare #isklproud @ISKLofficial

#mindful moment of the day: back to back breathing. One partner takes two slow breaths while the other pays attention to their body and movement. On the third breath, the other partner tries to sync up and begin breathing together. #selfcare #isklproud @ISKLofficial

Recess cannot be optional.

That's it. That's the tweet.

Exploring all of our beautiful outdoor learning spaces at school today- celebrating another fantastic #OutdoorClassroomDay! Thanks to @JoelJrLLABAN, @suji_dehart and @stevekatz for joining us and supporting our 1EG community. @ISKLofficial @OutdoorClassDay

[Emma Gedge @msemmagedge]

Exciting things to come in 1EG... @Teachmaxwright helped the Ss to create their own mini eco-garden in the classroom to observe life up close! Waiting patiently now to see what emerges from these eggs... #coteaching #outdoorlearning #ISKLproud @ISKLofficial

[Emma Gedge @msemmagedge]

Today’s coteaching emphasized the importance of standing up for yourself& others. @cwright_chris & I taught in parallel - one group explored words& tone, the other body language- then Ss paired up and taught eachother& role played. #teamteach #ISKLproud #lifeskills @ISKLofficial

[Emma Gedge @msemmagedge]

@Karenjung20 @ISKLofficial No sewing required! The children just need to cut off the sleeves, then cut a fringe along the bottom and tie the fringe into knots. Once all tied, flip inside-out and enjoy!

[Emma Gedge @msemmagedge]

We are continuing to celebrate #EarthWeek by putting our knowledge of recycling and reducing plastic use into action! The Ss turned old t-shirts into environmentally friendly reusebale tote bags in the #Makerspace. All we needed was scissors and rulers! #ISKLproud @ISKLofficial

[Emma Gedge @msemmagedge]

There’s no better way to celebrate #EarthDay19 than with some yoga in the #outdoorclassroom with parent volunteers. We are so lucky to have endless support from our #isklproud community! #grade1ecowarriors #outdoorlearning @ISKLofficial

@JoelJrLLABAN 😄😄

[Emma Gedge @msemmagedge]

Ss are constantly observing our friendships and interactions as a guide to construct their own behaviour and social lives. So when shared writing becomes shared laughter, learning & engagement enhances. Thank you @JoelJrLLABAN for bringing joy to our room. #isklproud #coteach

[Emma Gedge @msemmagedge]

how many curriculum standards can we target in a #handson engagement? Ss went on a shapes hunt w/ @stevekatz discussing shape attributes, finding details in a big picture, and capturing photographs using zoom & focus... all while enjoying the benefits of fresh air! #isklproud

[Emma Gedge @msemmagedge]

outdoor learning is always better when shared with other educators. feeling so grateful to have @JoelJrLLABAN and @suji_dehart making time and space in their days to inspire the love of reading in our young learners. #ISKLProud @ISKLofficial #outdoorclassroom
