The ‘magic time’ in Kindergarten. 💜📚@GSSD204

A great turnout for our #familyliteracyday event tonight at PJ Gillen school. We had a wonderful time sharing stories and creating family books. ❤️ @GSSD204

Some holiday cheer exploration!!! @GSSD204

When I grow up….. @GSSD204 #earlylitracy

The excitement of ‘chick day’ is unparalleled!!!! @GSSD204

The Gr. 2’s created CVC word chains for the K’s to practice. I just love all the learning happening here on both sides. ❤️@GSSD204

Leprechaun Trap Day is my favourite of the year! We’ve worked so hard to get to the point were the K’s can plan, collaborate, and create independently! ❤️@GSSD204

Love the way STEM challenges open a door for different ways to approach the same question. Can you build a boat to help the penguins float across the water without it capsizing? @GSSD204

Bring something to the carpet that has one syllable….. Yes! Snow is one syllable! Watch what you ask for!😂Kindergarten is the best. @GSSD204

Once a K teacher, always a K teacher @Andrea_M_Bogard! Rocking the last week together on ‘Rudolph Red’ & ‘Grinch Green’ days! @PJ_Gillen @GSSD204

A K-3 art exploration today learning about watercolour blending and brush strokes to create some beautiful multimedia works. ❤️@PJ_Gillen @GSSD204

In response to the ‘Great Reindeer Rebellion’, K’s came up with some great alternative sleigh pullers today! @PJ_Gillen @GSSD204

Our daily phonics practice is one of the K’s favourite parts of the day. They often keep challenging themselves during our explore time! Thanks @misseobertsyyc!! @PJ_Gillen @GSSD204

Witches Brew!!! I was leery having so many S’s at one invitation, but blown away by the conversations and collaboration. Exploring science concepts, fine-motor control and sequential planning. 🎃🎃@PJ_Gillen @GSSD204

Another fantastic Family Fun night! Love the energy, conversations and laughter echoing in the school halls. @PJ_Gillen @GSSD204

Can you build a gate for the 5 little pumpkins? #STEM @PJ_Gillen @GSSD204

Apple turkeys always bring out the biggest smiles. Happy Thanksgiving. @PJ_Gillen @GSSD204

Our Piet Mondrian inspired collaborative mural is taking form.

Our ‘Unique’ family tree. Love the learning and sharing how we each came to have the names we do. ❤️ @PJ_Gillen @GSSD204

Makerspace Day.. ❤️ this day because it brings together home and school, exploring 21st century learning skills, alongside each other. Parent, “S’s know they aren’t alone. School is a place where we can all create together.” ❤️ @PJ_Gillen @GSSD204 #familyengagement
