A beautiful morning smudging with our Indigenous Support Worker and Principal. A somber moment to reflect and connect. Today and every day #TruthandReconciliationDay #OrangeShirtDay @StDavidDragons
Today in our online class, we challenged ourselves to a STEM activity building birdhouses. We worked on problem-solving, following instructions, communication, patience & perseverance! We are super proud of our work!
Thank you @sheandherevent @kiddereducation and @StDavidDragons
It's hard to comment given the shock, anger, and frustration of the LU situation, but I'll never forget this day. The excitement and engagement from these students was amazing to watch. They were exposed to a whole new world of endless possibilities.
10/ We brought in students from outside of LU, stretching that "Provide opportunities to EVERY student" mindset as far as it would go. We helped @miss_visentin and her young class to learn some tech skills, try to build parachutes for eggs, and generally have a good time.

We started our morning with an open and safe discussion about mental health, anxiety, stress, and coping skills. We tried out a new activity too, a grounding exercise using the five senses. #BellLetsTalk @SudburyCDSB @StDavidDragons
We've been working all year on this, not just today. With my students learning fully remotely, check-ins and open discussions have built a key connection and welcoming space. It's been a challenging year in their young lives. #resiliency #BellLetsTalk
Today we visited the @ToucanRescue Ranch in Costa Rica. We learned about two&three-toed sloths, their habitats, characteristics, and about Costa Rica. Also explored the rehabilitation centre&learned how they help these animals recover and transition back to the wild. @SudburyCDSB

Today we took a virtual trip to Ripley's Aquarium in Toronto. We tuned in to the stingray feeding session. We learned so much! Fun fact: a group of stingrays is called a fever.

A big thank you to the #TorontoZoo for their informative and engaging virtual field trip this morning. My students absolutely loved it! @SudburyCDSB

Gatherings are now limited to 10 people indoors... #ExceptInSchools
Physical distancing of at least 2m is a requirement everywhere... #ExceptInSchools
See the problem?
The 2019-2020 school year was a learning journey! Today we wrapped up our last class video meeting and talked about our favourite memories from the school year. We are hopeful to make new memories in September, together in person 馃. @StDavidDragons

What gives me hope right now are the new generations of young people who dream big and do not want to settle for the status quo.
Every Friday we try a new activity as a class. This week: directed drawing, Sonic edition! @SudburyCDSB @StDavidDragons

#STEM club is a huge hit at St. David School. A special thank you to our teachers, @miss_visentin and Mr. Mailloux, and our school board support, @christina_raso and @JillyIn_Edu for making these special opportunities happen. @SudburyCDSB
A little hiccup but that's where we problem solve and learn. The excitement was uncontrollable! We can't wait to use the Ozobots again! @JillyIn_Edu
@StDavidDragons @SudburyCDSB
Thank you @JillyIn_Edu for introducing our grade 1/2 class to the Ozobots. Students learned how to program the Ozobot to follow commands they created using specific coloured lines & patterns. This was a new & exciting experience for our young coders! @SudburyCDSB @StDavidDragons

Students are so excited by this new school initiative as it promotes #studentvoice and #studentengagement to want to read and participate in the classroom, while doing #literacy activities. Thank-you @RoyerMs @miss_visentin for your enthusiasm for your learning!
Check out @RoyerMs and @miss_visentin March Madness Read Aloud鈥檚! Their classes have decided to make reading and learning a little bit more fun this month by choosing a winner out of a battle between two books.Winners continue on through tournament style. #studentvoice
Our tournament of books has started! Today we voted on our first two books: "The Dark" vs. "Pyjama Day". The students loved how the main character conquered his fear of the dark in the first book but overall the comedy of "Pyjama Day" won the popular vote. @StDavidDragons
We had a snow day full of problem-solving, creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration with K'nex creations, Bee-Bots, and Scratch Junior! @StDavidDragons @SudburyCDSB
