Orange Shirt Day is coming up September 30. Reposting the link to my Google drive of resources in French and English- including a shared reading around Rita Joe’s “I lost my talk”/ “J’ai perdue ma langue”. Please feel free to share with colleagues! #OrangeShirtDay 🧡🪶

A new year. A new group of kiddos. A new opportunity to learn and grow together as a classroom community. Feeling grateful and excited for what’s to come. #firstweekofschool

We had our first morning of math bins today. After lots of community building last week, it felt good to get into some of my favourite learning routines today! 💚💛

Bienvenue! À la meilleure classe au monde! Each class was challenged to come up with a short cheer. I think ours is pretty good! 😉😁 sung to the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle

Introduced today… 😆💚💛

As a class we have been looking at and discussing the Medicine Wheel and have made a class agreement on the things we are going to do this year to stay balanced. Today we made bracelets to represent our commitment to these promises and the things that are important to us 💚💛

Daily Physical Activity with a math twist. Adding fingers, practising “making 10” and then tagging our opponent! 🏃🏃‍♀️🖐️

Partner reading our shared fluency text. Practising how to be a good reading partner 💛💚

Building number sense and strategy with our new game. JEUdi is always so much fun!! 💚💛

Vocabulaire vendredi. Je vois… Je pense…. Je me demande…. We are starting with oral prompts but eventually this will become a base for some writing!

Our outdoor classroom: The Peace Park 💛💚 Taking time to care for our outdoor space and then using it to get some work done.

Today we observe, not “celebrate”, Orange Shirt Day. It is our Remembrance Day. This day represents many lost children and widespread intergenerational trauma for our communities. Its a time to learn and reflect. #EveryChildMatters

Daily sound review might be one of my favourite routines. Adding in some cursive writing and drawing for comprehension makes it extra fun 💚💛

Now that we’ve done a month’s worth of math concepts, it’s time to start our daily 3 minute review! Quick and easy way to review key concepts so Ss can put them into long term memory! Thanks again Dr David Costello

After some incredible learning @gouldlake_LDSB with Mme Gillianne Mundell, we were inspired to take our math lesson outdoors today. We were able to talk about the following attributes when making patterns: colour, size, position, number and shape

JEUdi means another new math game. Ah non! Cornichon! works on place value and comparing numbers up to one thousand. Be careful not to get yourself into a pickle though!

Thank you to Kingston Transit and my favourite teaching partner Mme Mundell for an incredible day at #lemoinespoint

Taking some time to discuss Le jour du souvenir and create artwork for our assembly on Monday

A little Friday afternoon bonding time

Reviewing the sound “oi” this week. Highlighting it in our texts and then showing our comprehension of the text with some drawings.
