This week we celebrated our 100th day of school! I am so proud of all that my students have accomplished and continue to accomplish! Here are some of my favourite responses. #100DaysSmarter 🎉🥰

Picked up a copy of Nibi's Water Song to share with my students. Such a beautiful book! It goes perfectly with our air and water unit, but most importantly, it furthers our understanding of social justice and its connection to our environment. Great conversation starter!💧

Last week we learned about water pollution, oil spills and the importance of stewardship. We created our own oil spills and tried to clean them up with a spoon and paper towel. Students decided it was hard work! We also looked at how oil affects birds and their feathers. 🪶🛢️💧

My grade two's started off Holy Week with some beautiful silhouette art! TCDSB Nurturing our Catholic Community St. Anne Catholic Academy

After reading the Easter Bunny's Assistant by Jan Thomas, students decided that Skunk did not make a good assistant. They wrote persuasive letters to the Easter Bunny suggesting a different animal that might be better. So many creative ideas! You have to read these!🐇

Hallelujah! He is risen! May the renewal of life at Easter bring hope and blessings to you and your loved ones.

These tulip bulbs came all the way from the Netherlands and today they bloomed! Students really enjoyed watching them grow and develop. They learned about traditional tulip festivals in the Netherlands and about hydroponics. We had fun predicting what colour they would be!🌷

Happy Earth Day! 🌎

How can air take up space if we can't see it? Students completed an experiment to investigate this and were mind blown by the results! The paper towel came out dry! 🤯 #kitchenscience

A HUGE thank you to Firefighter Angie (girl power!) Toronto Fire Services 🇨🇦 for visiting our class to teach us about fire safety! Students were engaged and inspired! We put our newly learned letter writing skills to the test by co-creating this awesome letter for her. 👩🏻‍🚒🚒🔥

My students love art, so why not sneak a little math in there? Check out our fraction sundaes! 🍨 #mathisfun

Our letter was a success! Thanks again Toronto Fire Services 🇨🇦! On behalf of my students and I, we really appreciate the work you do! 🚒🔥 St. Anne Catholic Academy

Introducing... custom number talk images! Free templates to edit/re-arrange images of kumquats, blueberries, nuts, and toaster pastries, as Google Slides or PowerPoint. Great for #howmany and #noticewonder Access them here: berkeleyeverett.com/images/custom-…

Haven't had the chance to post in a while. We have been busy! Wanted to pop on and share our ABC countdown (we started last week)! Great way to keep students excited and engaged! So far it has been a HUGE hit! 🥳

Today was the letter D in our ABC countdown. D is for Dance Party! On top of a real dance party, students also coded their own! This was a great addition to Course B, which students just completed. I can't thank code.org enough! So AMAZING (and free)! TeachCode

Don't ever stop being curious. 🦎
