Encouraging appreciation for the items, places, and people who make @mountsfieldps a special place! Each student wrote multiple letters and placed them around the school in hopes others would share a mindful moment and care for our school! ✨ grade 2/3 @TVDSBLiteracy

When you follow the Ss excitement and motivation for fractions, it always leads to fun places! 😜 Each colour of sprinkles represents an important aspect of kindness 🍩 We then wrote about what kindness means to us #SprinkleKindness @mountsfieldps @TVDSB

Wowza! Impressed by how these 2/3 Ss independently (yes, really 😍) solved Day 2 of TVDSB’s Winter Math Challenge. About how many chocolates are in the box of 225g if 3 weight 38g? @FerreroNACorp We worked out that ~18 was most reasonable! ✏️🧮 @mountsfieldps @TVDSB #Math – at London, Ontario

We are deeply interested in Space🚀🌚 learning about how angles determine distance, planet rotations, temperatures, length of days/years, & how to direct spacecraft. We loved live streaming the launch of JUICE launch week! #ESA #NASA @mountsfieldps #tvdsb #grade6 #inquiryproject

We see how applying what we know about electricity helps us to accomplish desired projects, and to find creative ways to engage with others. “I can touch him to complete the circuit and actually play his project!” @mountsfieldps @tvdsb

Couldn’t possibly agree more ✔️
Teaching kids is the best part of the job. It's all the other stuff that gets in the way of teachers doing that which is draining!
