🪖 7/8 students @StJosephTilCS are making sustainable seed paper poppies for Remembrance Day! When discarded they will bloom into a poppy in the spring! Honouring our veterans while reducing plastic! @sccdsb #sccdsb #poppyproject @MrStAmand @FanshaweCollege 🍁

🗣 I've had this set of debrief objects for a long time. I kept them in my closet and took them out as needed. Surprise: I never remembered to take them out. 🙀 I started keeping them out in a clear container and a prominent spot. I use them much more now! #sccdsb @MrStAmand
This curriculum policy replaces The Ontario Curriculum, Grades 1–8: Language, 2006. Beginning in September 2023, all language programs for Grades 1 to 8 will be based on the expectations outlined in this curriculum policy.

School Days: Wonderful and Invigorating to have School Groups visiting City Hall again. Today Ms. Hackett's Grade 4/5 from Holy Trinity Catholic School. Well prepared with Excellent Researched Questions. Had Mayor Man on the Ropes a few times Struggling to give Coherent Answers.

Teachers, I need some editing help with my latest I Survived book. Would any of you like to Zoom with me with your classes? I'd like to read the first chapter & get their feedback. If you're interested, let me know. I'll choose 3 classes (randomly) & in touch by DM by 1/13.
