An invitation to draw black eyed susans to start our day! @ Hillcrest Public School https://t.co/GCXgYiVNV1

Today we read "Ants Rule" on Epic (with great connections to our last unit on graphing!) before tracing and measuring our hands with non-standard units. @Staceysaucier1 @HillcrestTigers @SCDSBey @SCDSBLiteracy @scdsbmath

Hands on bar graphs to represent data collected during out Meet! @Staceysaucier1 @HillcrestTigers @SCDSBey @scdsbmath

Lots of excitement watching colours mix during today's STEAM challenge! A variety of optional tools made this activity widely accessible for families at home. @Staceysaucier1 @HillcrestTigers @SCDSBey

[Tarren Verhoeven @T_Verhoev]

STEAM challenges are always a favourite Remote activity! Today students built bridges. @Staceysaucier1 @HillcrestTigers @SCDSBey

Observational tulip art to brighten the room! Sharpies and watercolours always have such an effective result with artists of all ages ❤. @Staceysaucier1 @HillcrestTigers @SCDSBey

[Tarren Verhoeven @T_Verhoev]

Who knew painting rocks would be such an engaging invitation! Students loved collecting, painting and coloring rocks today. I heard some talk about hiding the rocks for others to find. We will see what Tuesday brings 😊. @Staceysaucier1 @HillcrestTigers @SCDSBey @scdsboutdoors

"Oh my gosh it's a special delivery!" We are so lucky to be participating in #SproutingSeeds with @LSRCA thanks to our EL Grant from @SCDSB_Schools. @Staceysaucier1 @HillcrestTigers @SCDSBey @scdsboutdoors

[Tarren Verhoeven @T_Verhoev]

A rare moment when the entire class chooses to participate in the same activity. Sidewalk chalk paint was a success! @Staceysaucier1 @HillcrestTigers @SCDSBey @scdsboutdoors

[Tarren Verhoeven @T_Verhoev]

Fun idea! We will get back to you 😊

[Tarren Verhoeven @T_Verhoev]

More coding fun! Retelling with ozobots, coding with geoboards, big blocks, a big grid, Kodable, and hopscotch! @HillcrestTigers @Staceysaucier1 @SCDSBey @SCDSBLiteracy @scdsbmath @scdsboutdoors

[Tarren Verhoeven @T_Verhoev]

We had a great time retelling "Going on a Bear Hunt" during a windy community walk today! @Staceysaucier1 @HillcrestTigers @SCDSBLiteracy @SCDSBey @scdsboutdoors https://t.co/0CUVIgmN67

[Tarren Verhoeven @T_Verhoev]

With motivation to share from my personal cheerleader @mrdmcampbell, some of the goals we have met since returning to in class! A math shelf, writing tools throughout, and self-reg posters. Embarassed took so long but it has not been a normal year! @SCDSBey @Staceysaucier1

[Tarren Verhoeven @T_Verhoev]

@AHarrisonSCDSB @Staceysaucier1 @HillcrestTigers @SCDSBey @scdsbmath So smart! I'll have to make a stop on my way in tomorrow 😍

[Tarren Verhoeven @T_Verhoev]

So many ways to code in kindie! Students have been having so much fun we were left a love note at the end of the day ❤ @Staceysaucier1 @HillcrestTigers @SCDSBey @scdsbmath

[Tarren Verhoeven @T_Verhoev]

Looking for signs which give us directions on today's community walk, connected to our learning about coding. @Staceysaucier1 @HillcrestTigers @SCDSBey @scdsbmath

[Tarren Verhoeven @T_Verhoev]

Beautiful self portraits featuring "The Colours of Us," mixed by students using tempra paints. @Staceysaucier1 @hillcresttigers @SCDSBey @SCDSBequity

[Tarren Verhoeven @T_Verhoev]

We began "Teach it Tuesday" today! Our tiny teachers planned a lesson using a procedural writing template. We learned how to draw a dinosaur, and how to blow up a balloon with baking soda and vinegar 😊 @Staceysaucier1 @HillcrestTigers @SCDSBey @SCDSBLiteracy

[Tarren Verhoeven @T_Verhoev]

Some of this week's highlights! Tree trunk pictures, How to Catch a Snowman STEAM challenge, guided drawing, paper making, and building with ice blocks! @Staceysaucier1 @SCDSBey @scdsboutdoors @HillcrestTigers

[Kimiko Shibata 🦋 @ESL_fairy]

Whoa. This here is a treasure trove of resources for remote teaching, with many ready to go templates and ideas for various subject areas. #WRDSBonline https://t.co/BlurM8zBiq
