Coding + safety! We had so much fun coding some escape paths out of our homes !
Fire Safety + coding = Fun! Here's an entry for the Fire Won't wait, Code your Escape contest. Although you can draw a home escape plan with a pencil & paper, it's great to see the students @Carruthers_PS & hear their excitement as they code a route! @TownOfAjax @Sparky_Fire_Dog

How stunning are the warm and cool toned landscapes?! I love what a beautiful job my students did on this project. This @jenaranyi inspired art was thanks to something I saw @MsPopovic do with her class! #art #weareddsb

What are you favourite tools or resources for teaching phonics? I have Heggerty which I use. But looking for any other great resources for junior grades!

A fun art activity using our thumbprint to create snow people. Easing our way back into creating by adding facial expressions and stories to art! My favourite is the snow person chasing after their head 🤣

We had fun “mining” today! We mined for ‘minerals’ in both hard and soft grounds. Ss found it was WAY easier to mine in soft ground! A fun friday activity with my favourite scientists! 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬Thank you @MsBowyersClass for sharing this activity!! @Carruthers_PS

Wooden poppies made by our amazing Coyote students for Legion Branch 322. Students from K, SSP, grade 6 and 8 created these poppies to recognize the contributions of Canadians who have served- past and present. Lest we forget. @RoyalCdnLegion

So much fun!!!
Today we did a patterning escape room! Students had to answer patterning questions to unlock the next question. Each question also had a secret letter that they used to form the secret code at the end of the escape room. Thanks to @MsLawther for the great idea! @GlenDhuPS

Every day I work with amazing #cupe members. They are kind, caring, compassionate people who go above and beyond their duties because they love what they do. They deserve a living wage. I can’t do my job without them! Schools can’t function without them! #IStandWithCUPE

Working on some open ended problem solving! It was amazing to see students work collaboratively and then share their thinking today. We discussed how each group may have different answers and ways of thinking! Problem from Math Up! @Carruthers_PS #math #weareddsb
