Today we had a UFLI party 🥳🎉🎈to celebrate finishing our program. We danced, played games & students went home with a certificate.

So many fun learning activities today to celebrate Black History Month. @FairviewPSPDSB

Started with the idea of brain pocket writing today. Heard @AdrienneGear talk about this at #RFTLOI and had to give it a try. Kids were thrilled!

Visited the nearby park to collect soil samples and begin our unit “Soils in the Environment”. We found a worm and realized that living organisms are part of soil 🐛🪱

Not going to lie, data is one of my favourite math units to teach 📊 Today students made identity cards and then we used those cards to sort according to 2 or 3 attributes (learning goal pictured).

Thank you so much to our many EAs who support students to be successful in school!! ❤️

[Peel District School Board @PeelSchools]

Today we celebrate Peel Educational Assistants & Early Childhood Educators' Appreciation Day! Thank you for your continued dedication in nurturing students' minds, ensuring their safety, and helping them thrive!

Ok but our math board is looking amazing… Loved to hear students referencing the board & naming the learning goals when doing a review activity today!

Working on a sorting activity to learn the features of non-fiction texts. @FairviewPSPDSB

This is the most exciting delivery !!! I can’t wait to see the faces of 3C when they see our brand new carpet today 🤩

[Melanie Jakobschuk @msjakobschuk]

3C had a blast during the Terry Fox walk on Thursday. They chanted “Terry Fox” the entire way!

[Melanie Jakobschuk @msjakobschuk]

One whole week of school done! 3C has worked so hard to learn new routines and make new friends ☺️ We are happy to be back to school!! @FairviewPSPDSB

[Melanie Jakobschuk @msjakobschuk]

I’m excited. @FairviewPSPDSB ✨

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

Many students, educators, and school communities across Canada are experiencing hate, rising transphobia & homophobia. We've seen hateful protests at board meetings to drag story times, and increased bullying. This is NOT okay!

Book delivery days are my favourite days…made some exciting drop offs to @MapleWoodPS classrooms today! Thanks @AnotherStoryTO

[Maple Wood PS @MapleWoodPS]

Kicking off Black History Month in the library with @msjakobschuk and a presentation on the steel pan from Pan Man Pat. We learned about the history of the instrument and listened to him play.

[Melanie Jakobschuk @msjakobschuk]

Working on a library makeover, including weeding out old & non-culturally responsive texts from non-fiction section. Then, working on organizing in a more visually appealing & accessible way to increase circulation. A little piece of the before… @PDSB_Libraries

[Melanie Jakobschuk @msjakobschuk]

First book club was a huge success. Happened to be Cozy Day too. Some students reading to their plush animals @MapleWoodPS

[Melanie Jakobschuk @msjakobschuk]

Loved hosting this reading contest! It had students so engaged in reading over the break. Lots of entries. Prizes coming soon!!

[Maple Wood PS @MapleWoodPS]
