#DotDay Design Challenge: Using Mixed Media! What can you create using loose parts (buttons, beads, pebbles)? Volcanoes, beaches, solar systems, a menorah, and a water-drinking-one-eyed-cyclops!! @peterhreynolds

After reading Monique Gray Smith's My Heart Fills with Happiness in the #HPAS Outdoor Classroom, Ss shared "What fills YOUR heart with happiness?" Phyllis Webstad's Orange Shirt mattered to her; we need to remember that #EveryChildMatters, on #OrangeShirtDay & every day! Toronto District School Board @TDSB_HPAS

With only 8 students in class today, we're working as a team to complete the Terry Fox Foundation Word Search. *If you're away, check the Google Classroom and you can print one at home! Toronto District School Board @TDSB_HPAS

We had a lot of fun Counting, Building and Adding with Ten Frames using this online game: nctm.org/Classroom-Reso…

Didn't have DEAR Time on the schedule today. Ss noticed & begged to squeeze it in, even just 10 minutes! I love their love of reading 📚 ❤ Lights off, book boxes out, Health work pushed to the side, for now, it's time to Drop Everything And Read. #kidlit #studentvoice Toronto District School Board

Happy Halloween!!

We had so much fun! 🌨❄💙

Artwork inspired by today's #Indigenous #Arts #AGOschools visit with Red Slam Collective. Gabriel and his mom worked together to create "Floral Medicine", showing their appreciation for and connection to the universe and all it has to offer. #TDSB #HPAS

Looking forward to a fantastic #TDSBFirstDay with our Grade 1 Classroom Community at #HPAS!

We're in the Library Learning Commons! So excited to be back 😁📚 Orientation today and then, we sign out books bi-weekly. We'll also be partnering up for some hands on and group learning with our Librarian, Kelly Iggers.

We start our small reading groups soon!

We added some pops of colour to the new poster in our room today. We're learning to be more inclusive in our relationships w/ each other. Instead of "hey guys!" or "boys & girls" try these: #wordsmatter #inclusionmatters #tdsb #hpas #genderneutral Sylvia Duckworth
