Time for a read-aloud! Today, we are reading “Opposites Abstract” by Mo Willems and learning many BIG words! #KinderTDSB

From loose parts to LEGO parts, our Kindergarten students are learning through exploration and engaging in creative thinking at their learning centres. #KinderTDSB

After creating a 🦋 with loose parts, the student decided to draw a picture of it. They labelled it using a butterfly book they found in the classroom.

Meanwhile, our friends are making music in this corner of the classroom. Which sound do you prefer – loud, soft or both?

Time to wash our hands! 🫧 After a morning of fun and learning, it’s time for lunch and outdoor exploration. #KinderTDSB

Kudos to Municipalité de Russell Township & Mayor @pierreleroux75 for addressing child care challenges in their community. Township of Russell is increasing ECE pay, taking over operation of closed centres & actively planning expansion! Great example of local leadership! russell.ca/en/news/mayor-…

After lunch, we gathered on the carpet to discuss this morning’s storybook. The word "organic" caught our attention, as some students haven’t heard the word before. We used a Frayer Model to co-create a definition. • Definition • Characteristics • Examples • Non-examples

Students had the opportunity to revisit their learning from the morning and also engage in new inquiry, exploration, and play. They used an iPad to document their thinking and learning to share with their friends. #KinderTDSB
