Witnessed my Principal and mentor @mikkihymus receive a King Charles III Coronation Medal yesterday at our Gr. 6 Grad. I cannot think of anyone who deserves this more. She has moved mountains for so many students, families and staff.

@MrInglisPhysEd @TDSBGatewayPS It was really fun! Thank you for this opportunity.

This week students in grade 2-6 participated in an awesome Rugby Workshop with Toronto Inner City Rugby Federation (TIRF). Lots of team building, new skills and loads of fun. @TDSBGatewayPS

Celebrated @TDSBGatewayPS’s Grade 6 cohort with a trip to the park. The most perfect weather - breezy and not too hot with shade from the beautiful trees - so great for our students to connect, play and just “be” with each other for hours. Congrats!

The Common Table Farm also provided a way for my students to continue their learning at home - they delivered 24 garden kits that included a felt pot, a huge bag of soil, seeds, a lettuce plant and a book on how to grow food at home. @TDSBGatewayPS

Extremely grateful for the opportunity that The Common Table Farm gave us on Tuesday to come learn in their vegetable garden. Ss learned how to layer compost and plant ginger among other biodiversity points! @TDSBGatewayPS

@MsTaylor_art This is incredibly adorable 🥰

Always so emotional every year, I get so attached. Despite how hard it is sometimes - they have my heart from Day 1 and saying goodbye is hard. Thank goodness for future visits and little notes over the years to keep in touch with this “family.”

Amazing! Way to rep our neighborhood.

🎶 Stories, songs & smiles 🎶 Our K–2s were captivated by Indigenous storyteller Jennie Town, who brought culture to life through music, drum & heart.🧡 Stories don’t just teach — they connect. 📩 ritu@deschoolonline.com #IndigenousEducation #ReconciliationInAction

1/4 of my class made the Ultimate Frisbee team. Ran into them this morning on their way to compete at their tournament and snapped a selfie. So proud of them all! Way to represent @TDSBGatewayPS

Best Book Fair ever!

@MsTaylor_art I love walking into your classroom. Everything you do with your classes is so beautiful- keep it up! These are so beautiful.

Learning about author & illustrator Lois Ehlert’s childhood dream of becoming an artist and discussing our own future dreams…✨

@MsTaylor_art I love the work you do!

@msdlombardo @TDSBGatewayPS @ForestofReading @ONLibraryAssoc 400?! You are a magical miracle worker. 🪄

We read, we voted, and now we wait! Over 400 readers across 4 categories from Kindie to Grade 6 @TDSBGatewayPS. Which books will win in the @ForestofReading? 📕 🌲 🇨🇦 @ONLibraryAssoc

I often think “are they learning anything?” I think it’s because I feel like I’m just putting out fires and getting pulled away from “the plan”. But then here I am on a Sunday night pulling together my monthly newsletter and realizing - they are learning.

So grateful for this inspiring author presentation to our Gr. 6’s at @TDSBGatewayPS. Both our students and teachers connected on a deep level with @AmbreenBHussain. Very important message on not giving up. Thank you @msdlombardo for coordinating! ambreenbutthussain.com

Working with our @tdsb Math Learning Partner Ms. Pain on recognizing and comparing Area, Set and Line models of fractions. She comes once a week to work with our Gr. 6’s @TDSBGatewayPS

Our #STEAMMD challenges for the month of April were Earth Day themed. One of the choices was to make a water filter and that’s what my class chose! Large rocks, medium rocks and felt made quite a difference! Discussed the importance of access to clean water.

You know those moments that make you tear because your heart is so full? This was one of them. Jacob Diamond came as our musical guest at @TDSBGatewayPS today. Listen to the sound of over 300 children singing. ❤️

This incredible event put on by @tdsb_secondst @tdsb @TDSB_STEM was so empowering for these young women. Thank you for inspiring so many possibilities! @Deschool_Online was so glad to be able to provide the Keynote Brie O’Sullivan. youtu.be/ewrEWdfDBhY
