@MsSMorissette @westcot_school Okay, this is the best! An amazing event. So much gratitude for all the organizers and volunteers💕

What’s the best way to relax after a busy and successful Spring Fling ? Put all of the organizers, volunteers and principals in “The Wipeout” @westcot_school

@MsSMorissette @morikkey1 @Ms_H_Oates @westcot_school This looks amazing! Can’t wait to check it out. Nice work team ☺️

Building our loose parts library and creating concept cards to link numeracy to loose parts play with @morikkey1 @Ms_H_Oates & Ms. Mooney #wvnumeracynetwork @westcot_school

Friendship bracelet fun! Give your bracelet to a friend to let them know you value their friendship or wear it as a reminder to be a good friend! @westcot_school

Wishing our @westcot_school families a very happy family day long weekend. We are so grateful for you! Thanks @toddparr for the reminder that all families come in different shapes and sizes.

@SylviaMarieKing @HollyburnSchool What a gift to be so close to the beach and that you share this gift with your students each week❤️

“Learning from the land helps us to understanding our connection to it. Understanding our connection will give life to what the land can teach us, how it communicates with us & how it looks after all life upon it. The land has a way to strengthen all things.”

Thank you #hollyburnheritagesociety for an incredible morning of learning about the rich history of this place. The sun shone bright and an amazing time was had by all. #placebasedlearning @westcot_school @Cypressmtn

Another Friday, another math challenge with our big buddies! @westcot_school #westvannumeracynetwork

An open question to start the day: “Choose a number less than 20 and share what you know.” Personalized connections & entry points for all! @marian_small @westcot_school #westvannumeracynetwork

@jnovakowski38 @Grauer_Phoenix I spy some really cool pop-it 10 frames! Where did you find those?

Grades 1&2 @Grauer_Phoenix students investigated addition and subtraction strategies in The Studio this morning through number talks and using visual tools and materials. #sd38learn

Building on our sense of belonging through morning math games with our families. @westcot_school @WestVanSchools #westvannumeracynetwork

Beginning to uncover the story of our community @westcot_school

In love with how our holiday minis turned out! Next year I will reconsider the reindeer on the red splatter paint🤦‍♀️ #teacherfail #poorrudolph @westcot_school

The Gr 1s finished up our personal inquiry by writing “The Story of Me.” We celebrated by sharing and enjoying the stories written by classmates. @westcot_school

StrongStart was extra fun today, ending with a surprise visit from the fire truck! Extra special when you get to experience it with your big cousin. Thanks @HollyburnSchool, @DeannaDeVita and @SylviaMarieKing. We love our Tuesdays!!

What is the story of your name? “My name means lion. I am powerful and strong.” @westcot_school

Fridays are for buddy math challenges! Today was a barrier game developing positional + orientation vocabulary and strengthening our spatial language. @westcot_school #westvannumeracynetwork

@SylviaMarieKing That sounds amazing! Would have been keen but taking another course on Making Thinking Visible in the classroom! Look forward to learning from you :)

Who wants to join me?!

“There are 8 dots under SPLAT because 10 + 9 = 19. So if there 11, that’s one more than 10 so one less than 9 is 8!” @westcot_school @SteveWyborney #maththinking

After exploring the beautiful traits that live inside us, we are now examining and celebrating our "Outside Me." Students looked closely at their faces, touching and naming all of their features before recreating them out of loose parts. @westcot_school
