Once again, please DO NOT use food as a manipulative in math. Many of our Ss experience food insecurity. What message are we sending when something so valuable as food is used to support a toothpick/create a pattern & then tossed in the garbage? There are so many alternatives.

Our Teacher Candidate in grade 5/6 Winston Churchill PS is planning fantastic inquiry based lessons that combine Social Studies, Literacy and the Arts. We are having lots of fun and learning so much. Thank you Teacher Huys!

Students in Grade 5/6 Winston Churchill PS are working diligently preparing to record their STOP motion films as directed and inspired by our teacher candidate, Teacher Huys. They have the plot, characters, and setting ready. All hands on deck as they bring their visions to reality.

Today I was ultra proud of our grade 5/6 students Winston Churchill PS that filmed their stop motion films. Teacher Huys ran super workshops and made it possible for the students to have this awesome learning experience. Film viewing, fancy and feel good Friday tomorrow. #learnbydoing

Acknowledging and letting go of perfectionism is how artists have fun! @queenseduc’s art class with Leaf Kretz rocks. Excited to use my learning about teaching art through critical multiculturalism and environmental justice in my next classroom

“Hey! Isn’t this letter hundreds of years old?!” Grade 5/6s learned about this letter made using yellow paper, coffee grounds and Crawford's 1783 claims to "purchasing" Kingston/Katarokwi. Inquiry + critical thinking = anti-colonial magic Erin K Limestone District School Board

Haven’t posted here in a bit! Second year teaching grade 2 in Pikangikum and loving it. This First Nations reserve has a 97% retention rate of the Ojibway language. The children are socially intelligent, generous and have great senses of humour.
