Many thanks to the Positive Pines under the leadership of Ms. Doran for their collection and organization of over 415 boxes of cereal. This afternoon was very exciting as we watched the boxes fall domino style in one fell swoop. youtu.be/RTm4jojOp1Y

After almost a year of planning, today we open the doors to our new building. Welcome home everyone!
Finished up our project on concussions from Rowan’s Law Day, and have shared it with the whole school so we can all be aware! @ShingwakonsPS @OCDSB #hitstopsit

Happy October everyone!
This month is TYSON's month.
It is not very often that we get to see Black boys as mathematical thinkers in picture books, but TOO-SMALL TYSON does just that! It features Black boys, brotherhood, Black joy, and proportional thinking!

We used to teach poetry in 1 unit/yr & be surprised when students didn't remember it the next yr. Would you remember what you were taught for only 20 days a year?
Develop❤️4 poetry by weaving it yr-round.

Forcing everything into the written word is a way of suppressing certain student voices in your classroom... assess with written and spoken language! #ISTELive22 #ISTE22 @HollyClarkEdu
