🐰🐣🥚 Colour House Challenge-- EASTER EGG HUNT. So much fun!!! Loved seeing the kids and staff so excited!

Stopped by #SJM today & it was amazing to see some projects finished! #identity There was rich math conversations happening in Keirstyn Daye gr. 1/2. I got baby chick snuggles in Kelly McLaughlin gr. 1/2!! I 💜 chicks 🐣 A S invite to the SJM Bball game to finish the day! 🏀

Fluency Partner reading just got more intentional! Kelly McLaughlin thanks for the slide 👌

Fluency practice! Reading the Flyleaf Publishing texts we have been working through! Our learning buddies were amazed by these little ones decoding skills--a common remark: "they read every word right by sounding it out"🤯😊 👏 Lambton Kent DSB

Four children want to share 10 brownies so that everyone gets exactly the same amount. How much brownie can each child have? These 1/2s are on fire 🔥 😊

Ordering fractions. Want to hear a Gr.2 student communicate his math thinking? 🤯 We did some fishbowls then went back and made changes to our thinking. During consolidation a student said--"the bigger the bottom number the smaller the parts in the WHOLE are" these kids!!🙆🏼‍♀️

Working on vowel patterns and syllable division strategies (can be a little dry). I told my students they would be able to read/write any word in the world after learning all tricks and strategies. A student said: "Even 'Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious'" Yes! Give it a go!😎

Had a wonderful day at Lambton Centre for some outdoor learning! Lambton Centre

These 1/2s blew this 3-Act math task out of the water. Applying their fraction knowledge to this task like pros! 😍🤯

We love working with Flyleaf Publishing texts! We used information from the text to help us write about the life cycle of a Luna Moth. Students re-read each section multiple times, and pulled words to help them write a sentence or two about each stage. Amazing work 1/2!🐛🦋

Can we just gush over these adorable science projects?

Syllable Dividing Strategies---all day, every day! 😎🤓

A new study confirms that reading comprehension strategies work best if combined with background knowledge. And: the effect of 55 hours of instruction is the same as 1 hour. Kids get WAY more than 55 hrs in school. Daniel Willingham More in my Forbes post: forbes.com/sites/nataliew…

🎶 I just can't get Dr. Shelley Blackwell, SLP.D Spelling presentation outta my head. Showing teachers how to identify areas of deficit by analyzing spelling errors. Then apply targeted instruction. Phonology, orthography or morphology? Dr. Blackwell for PD in Naperville 203 Jayne Willard

Great response.

📚Navigating subtests for universal screening can be challenging! 🧭Excited to share a helpful resource from ONlit.org. This chart simplifies the process, guiding you to identify🔑areas for instruction. ↠Older students, start at the top ↠Younger ones, start at the bottom.

This.

Yes! Read this!
