Awesome math learning happening in Grade 4/5 JoycevillePS_LDSB as we explore giant numbers and understand how the position of each digit affects its VALUE!

Grade 4/5’s did an incredible job this week during our first Reading Buddies with the SK/1’s! 📚 ❤️ JoycevillePS_LDSB

Such great math learning today! We had our amazing Math Lead, Mr Gallagher, do a guest Math Fluency talk, then collaborated in groups to solve number pattern problems and share our learning! JoycevillePS_LDSB

We’re lucky to have Phys Ed three days a week plus regular physical activity time outside! 4/5’s are building cooperative and sportsmanship skills as well as balance, mobility, dexterity, and fitness! JoycevillePS_LDSB

I love watching these 4/5’s grow their Math fluency and confidence, working through problems together and sharing different approaches and strategies! 👏

What a fantastic day to explore downtown Kingston! We loved our walk from City Park and tour of City Hall. Next stop is the Queen’s Miller Museum of Geology! JoycevillePS_LDSB

The Miller Museum was a hit as 4/5’s had a chance to get up close and personal with rocks, minerals, and even fossils! Super proud of these kiddos for a wonderful day of experiential learning! JoycevillePS_LDSB

A lovely assembly for Remembrabce Day, with all JoycevillePS_LDSB students participating so thoughtfully. Super proud of our wreath bearers and our whole Grade 4/5 class for such a beautiful recitation of In Flanders Fields. #lestweforget2024
