Grade 2s explored African Heritage. We looked at symbols in the 2024 ETFO Black History Poster, connected to a story which taught us about Adinkra symbols from Ghana and discussed the big idea of how differences are AWESOME. @gen_brock_tdsb
Grade 2 students worked collaboratively to retell the story, “The Great Race”, which explains the origins of the Chinese zodiac. #chineseheritagetdsb@gen_brock_tdsb
Grade 2s explored truth and reconciliation by unpacking the land acknowledgment they say each day, learning about whose traditional/stolen lands we are on and writing their own land acknowledgment based on what they know and appreciate about the land. @gen_brock_tdsb@UIEC_Tdsb

Grade 2 and 3 Students learned about women who have made an impact on the world for International Women’s Day. They designed and drew backgrounds that represent something important about each woman’s story. @gen_brock_tdsb
Grade 2 and 3 students drew their own families in artwork inspired by Daphne Odjig’s, “Figures in the Forest”. Amplifying Indigenous Excellence during Indigenous Education month. @gen_brock_tdsb@UIEC_Tdsb
As you hear about CUPE strike action, never forget that @Sflecce took $465 million out of the education budget to pay parents, when $235 million would have avoided a strike.

Our class learned about the “khatam” star in Islamic design. We made our own kirigami khatams using oragami paper in honour of Islamic Heritage month @gen_brock_tdsb ✨
Name inquiry based on “Alma and How She Got Her Name”. Students read many books and had rich discussions about names and where they come from. Then they researched and told the story of each part of their own names. Such beautiful name stories were shared. Proud teacher. 👏👏👏❤️
@DaveAlexRoberts@TundraBooks My class loved “Where the Mountain Meets the Moon” by Grace Lin. My daughter loved it too and rereads it several times a year.
Setting up for an epic book tasting on Monday. Students will get their first “taste” of the latest books from @IndigoLOR, and will highlight some favourite “bites” by sharing their reviews with the class.
