Check out these #selfportrait pictures the grade 4s Newtown Elementary have finished! You can flip the lid and see beyond the "surface" into the students thoughts and dreams! There are some really creative and well crafted ideas here! I'm very proud of them! #teaching #learning #art

The grade 4s Newtown Elementary took a page out of Michelangelos book today! (the #artist not the ninja 🐢). They had to #create like he did while working on Sistine Chapel. On their backs, looking at the bottom of their desk. The students had #fun & our floors have never been cleaner!

In honor of the mega #snowday I created my biggest #SnowDayArt yet! I #repurposed an older canvas 🖼 & #created my own #art. If you created any art on your snowday, I would love to see it! #SnowsYaDontLoveIt #FindTheJoy #MakeArtEveryday #SnowdayFun

I know yesterday wasn't technically a #SnowDay because we didn't have school, but everything was still closed, so I made more #SnowDayArt anyway. It is inspired by the Tale of the Two Wolves. Which wolf are you feeding? #MakeArtEveryday #drawing #spreadkindness #FocusOnTheGood

Gonzaga Sports Gonzaga High School Varsity Boys Basketball got the job done! Both teams team played very well, big shout out to Mount Pearl Senior High for hosting a great tournament, & a great championship game, but I'm glad to see our boys take it home #ProudCoach #basketball

On Friday, we said farewell to one of our classmates who is moving to another province. "Good-byes" like this are never easy. This young person was a cherished part of our class & they will be missed very much by the Newtown Elementary community! This #GroupHug says it all! 🫂😞❤️❤️❤️

Yesterday, our grade 4 class Newtown Elementary ventured out to find a Canada Post mailbox. We have been writing #FanLetters to "people we admire", & the kids are super excited to actually send their letters! Who knows, maybe they will get a letter back 🤞 #WritingWithPurpose #Fun

I was able to get some action shots of the Newtown Elementary Lions playing in the Steve Phillips memorial #baseball tournament! The kids had so much fun and both teams were smiling the whole time! Sports are an awesome way for students to connect, learn and grow as people #SPC2024

The CREALITY 3D Printer printers are in full swing Newtown Elementary this evening! Students have been working on 3D designs with Tinkercad for this year's #PassionProject & we are starting bringing them to life! It takes it to another level when kids can hold their very own 3D creation!😎

And that's a wrap on the 2023-2024 school year! I would like to thank all the students, staff, and community Newtown Elementary for making me feel so welcomed during my time there! This is not a "good bye" just a "see you around" Here's a few snapshots of our year! #teaching #learning

#summerbreak means I get some time to #explore & #learn new stuff! Like #woodcarving ! This is my 2nd time making anything with the Dremel tool I got for Christmas. I made a ton of mistakes doing this, but are always the best lessons, the key is to keep going!! #SummerArt2024

This breaks my heart. CFY does so much good for our community, especially for those who are at risk & facing barriers in life. If those in charge only knew the stories of perseverance, resilience, & triumph that comes from this organization, they would triple funding, not cut it.
