Grade 1/2’s open-ended math talk full of number patterns and fact families. This was our first time doing this question and I was blown away by the responses! Emily Carr PS ChickenAlfredo Derek Tangredi tvdsbmath

Outside of my school community, I’m fortunate to be a part of another group of motivated, strong & loving people. Fitness is a deep passion of mine. It fuels my body, mind and heart. 🫶🏼 Now, it’s back to work after a rejuvenating four days off!

Music has such a special place in my heart. I incorporate it in all aspects of my day! It helps students recall information that may be difficult otherwise. My Grade 2s are easily able to identify the 7 continents now! ChickenAlfredo Emily Carr PS 🎶🌎

Earth Day activities from Friday 🫶🏼✨🌎 We learned about vermicomposting, made promises to our Earth, turned our lights off all day and took our literacy centres outside! Emily Carr PS ChickenAlfredo

When you ask one of your students to write a message to your class… 😂

Grade 1/2 has been diving into inquiry-based and student-led literacy centres. They’ve been interested in creating their own word searches based on a topic (great for vocab), researching their passions like soccer or dinosaurs & writing about Roblox. ChickenAlfredo Emily Carr PS

Using open-ended materials & nonfiction texts, Grade 2 demonstrated their learning about a continent of their choice. This ss created the animals, climate & landmarks like Mt. Everest in Asia! I ❤️ being a facilitator while my students lead the way. Emily Carr PS ChickenAlfredo

We enjoyed our nonfiction text features scavenger hunt! 🔎 Emily Carr PS ChickenAlfredo TVDSBLiteracy

Grade 1/2 has been writing stories the last few weeks. They added illustrations and designed a front & back cover. Today, they got to read them to their peers and positive feedback was given. So much learning happening! Emily Carr PS ChickenAlfredo

Thank you to our Islamic Department at GEMS DAA for sharing some delicious Eid treats with myself and other DAA staff. It has been such a beautiful experience living in the UAE to witness the generosity and togetherness during the holy month of Ramadan. Eid Mubarak!🌙

Grade 6 really enjoyed the math escape room we did today. They used their knowledge of rational numbers to solve puzzles and escape from Antarctica before the storm hit. They “stayed cool” under pressure and were all successful! 🌨️ GEMS DAA

My first year teaching middle school in my new home of Dubai - done! ✔️ Happy summer fellow educators! I am excited to return back to GEMS DAA as a permanent staff member in Grade 2 for the 2024-25 academic year! 🤩 #schoolsout #SummerBreak

What an enriching weekend at NESA’s Educators Training Institute in Abu Dhabi with GEMS DAA. We explored practical strategies for whole school wellness, with a spotlight on culturally responsive SEL and health curricula. Excited for the journey ahead! 👏

On the 100th day of school, 2HD ranked the things I say the most. Their list made me laugh, but also reflect. Classroom community is built not just on routines, but on shared moments of joy. Grateful for this group and all the learning (& laughing) we do together! GEMS DAA

2HD is ready for Ramadan! 🌙✨ GEMS DAA
