Some of the amazing “100” sculptures created out of #LEGO for the 100th anniversary celebration of @johnwanless this Saturday! So much creativity, imagination, and school spirit on display!

The students in Room 115 were so excited to check on our sunflowers this morning! 🌻 We noticed lots of changes since last week and spent time recording our observations in our plant journals. So much learning through watching, wondering, and growing together! @johnwanless

Can you build an AWESOME spinner? Room 115 was busy building spinners with unifix cubes. We tested each one, timed how long they spun using the iPads, and kept track of our results. Lots of trying, changing, and testing as we figured out what made a spinner spin longer. @johnwanless @TDSB_STEM

Crack open an egg, unscramble the word, read it and write it down. Such a fun activity to build our literacy skills just before #Easter! @johnwanless

Inspired by Canadian-Guyanese artist Ekow Nimako, Room 115 students created Lego sculptures using just one colour. Nimako is known for his stunning black Lego sculptures that celebrate African mythology, history, and the future. #AfricanHeritageMonth @tdsb @johnwanless

Our kindergarten students coded their names with LEGO and symbols. Big thinking, lots of trying and problem-solving in Room 115. @johnwanless

Can you decorate an ugly holiday sweater? 🎄✨

For #TreatiesRecognitionWeek, Room 115 created our own classroom treaty. We shared ideas about being kind, listening, helping others, and taking care of our classroom. These promises help everyone in our classroom feel safe, happy, and included at school. @johnwanless

Our students practised listening and following steps, strengthened their fine-motor skills with chalk, explored lines and shapes, and used their creativity to design these spooky spider webs! @johnwanless

Our fall trees were created using loose parts with a mix of natural materials and colourful gems. A blend of nature and creativity! @johnwanless
