Transitions can be tricky and maybe these #mindfulness bins will be helpful #BackToSchool

Thanks Tyler Rablin - my students loved your breakout challenge today! #BackToSchool #FirstDayOfSchool #Grade6 #Grade7

What an incredible visual to reflect on personal privilege

A student’s response to a love-themed Lego challenge 🏳️‍🌈 #HappyValentinesDay #LoveIsForEveryone

I love sending mail to my classroom kiddos! So, when @Sharon_Drummond and Megan Ryder shared these super sweet postcards, I knew they’d be perfect for a March break ‘hello’ #HappyMail #Grade3 #Grade4

Rocked these funky socks for #WorldDownSyndromeDay #LotsOfSocks #WithUsNotForUs

We celebrated #WorldWaterDay and loved our painting experience lead by artist Moses Lunham of Kettle and Stony Point First Nation #Grade3 #Grade4

Our collaborative art project is finished! Ss have been trying to figure out the “secret message” all week. Thanks for the idea @Sharon_Drummond #Grade3 #Grade4 #Collaboration #WorkHard #BeKind

The theme for #IDAHOBIT this year was “Together always: united in diversity” 300 hands working together to show that all students deserve to feel safe, supported, respected, cared for, and included. #LKDSB #SafeSpace

The first time these Ss got to test out the Makey Makey kits and we had a blast! Guitars, pianos, drum kits, and some instruments of our own imagination. #STEM #Grade3 #Grade4

In #Grade3 #Grade4 we work to build autonomy with *non-gendered* washroom passes. Ss grab one and wait for a nod of acknowledgement. Sometimes I pose this Q: Do you think you can wait 3 minutes for instruction to finish or is it an emergency? Their decision is always respected.

Our collaborative art project went up today. Ss will find out the message they worked together to create when they arrive tomorrow. #Grade3 #Grade4 #Collaboration @Sharon_Drummond is always my inspiration and this project is just one of her many great ideas!

We celebrated #InternationalDotDay and Ss loved experimenting with QuiverVision Peter H. Reynolds #MakeYourMark #Grade3 #Grade4

Celebrated #InternationalDotDay with a whole school creation. Ss have loved pointing out their contributions to friends in the hallway. #MakeYourMark

And that’s a wrap on #MeetTheStaff 🍎 Photo booth fun, estimation practice, playlist creation, snow cones, and a jam session with the staff band! Obviously ARKELLS was the first addition to our song requests because #Grade3 #Grade4 has the best music taste ⚡️

This week our #ClassroomBookADay challenge is focused around continuing the conversation about Residential Schools as we prepare for #OrangeShirtDay #Grade3 #Grade4 #EveryChildMatters #NDTR David A. Robertson Nicola I. Campbell @KathyKacer Dr. Jenny Kay Dupuis Melanie Florence

Thanks Matt Sanders & @LindsayReynen for organizing this awesome #ExperienceTheTrades workshop! Ss loved this introduction to Makedo kits and can’t wait to finish and test their models next week #Grade3 #Grade4

The snowshoes arrived just in time for our first snow and we were too excited to wait! Thanks Matt Sanders - we had a blast! #1000HoursOutside #LKDSB
