Beautiful day for the final butterfly from #Waystation16788. This years total protected and released was 89. They is 98 less than 2021! Let me know if you want help with native nectar and milkweed come spring.

Tier 1 & Tier 2 @HeggertyPA happening daily at #SJM. We are so fortunate to have Amy Fraser & Mrs. Wilson support Tier 2 groups & help build capacity in classrooms. #SOR #OurTeachersRock #PhonemicAwareness #LKDSB Keirstyn Daye LKDSB Elem Program

This s is using so many skills. You can hear her use phonological awareness to segment the word before she changes the medial sound. She is working on differentiating the vowel sounds and connecting the short vowel phonemes to phonetic representation. #literacy #SOR #SJM

So nice to see Ss fully engaged when building on their inquiry: What makes soil? They explored and found stones, plant material, and described textures. They talked about respect for our earth and have questions to explore it further. @QESarnia #lkdsb

Thank you Imperial Oil for your interactive activities today! Ss were fully engaged and asking questions that will help to continue our conversations about the beautiful world we live in ❤️🌎 @QESarnia

Spring is happening! The first sign of milkweed tells me Monarch season is coming. Ice Ballet and Swamp have arrived in SW ON! Hoping for a positive season full of fluttering wonder. ❤️🌱🦋 Monarch Watch #milkweed #waystation16788

Knights in Mrs. Fraser’s class are thrilled to share their plant cycle learning. It’s been a joy to watch them so invested and working together in their class garden🌍 🪴 💦 🧠 💪🏻

Keeping my eyes on the sky!! Common milkweed is up and ready in South Western Ontario! #milkweed #monarchwatch #waystation16788

Thank you Taylor Maris ♻️ and @SEPSciCen for the engaging lesson followed by our seed ball activity. Once the Ss got over the idea of making clay with kitty litter they rolled their seeds with excitement. Can’t wait to see what happens! @QESarnia
