#oectacchristmas2024 Busy but beautiful time of the year ❤️.

Peace is all of us. Peace is not just a word—it’s how we live, work together, and how we treat each other. Our student’s unique perspective shows that peace truly is all of us. #RemembranceDay #PeaceIsAllOfUs #StudentVoices, @alcdsb_stph, @alcdsb

🕊️ Honoring Remembrance Day with powerful art created by our Grade 5 students. They designed stunning silhouette profiles of soldiers, filling each one with symbols of remembrance, peace, and gratitude. #RemembranceDay #StudentArt #Gratitude,@alcdsb_stph, @alcdsb

“Did you know the human body has 206 bones? 🦴 Our class created stunning skeleton artwork using baby oil, making the bones stand out like never before! Art meets anatomy for a hands-on learning experience! #STEM #ArtInScience #206Bones, @alcdsb, @alcdsb_stph

We were thrilled to have Mary Averling, author of The Curse of the Eel Grass Bog, visit our classroom! Her passion for storytelling and creativity truly inspired our budding young authors. @alcdsb_stph, #AuthorVisit #InspiredWriters #CreativeClassroom"

Inquiry-based math encourages students to explore and discover solutions through collaboration and creativity by thinking out loud, visualizing problems, and sharing ideas. It turns math into an active, engaging process! #InquiryMath #VerticalSurfaces @alcdsb_stph , @alcdsb

Literacy circles allow students to explore, discuss, and deepen their understanding of the book while boosting their comprehension and building communication skills. #LiteracyCircles #TheWildRobot #YoungReaders @alcdsb_stph, @alcdsb

Imagine a group of students settling in for the perfect reading session. They find a cozy spot, looking like superstar readers, fully immersed in their stories, making reading feel like an exciting adventure.@alcdsb_stph , @alcdsb, #readerscommunity,

@NoackDianne @alcdsb_stph @alcdsb I do. I literally took a whole day reconfiguring the setup to accommodate all the exceptionalities in my classroom. Crossing my fingers that it works! Have the best year ever this year ❤️.

@AnaRand6 @alcdsb_stph @alcdsb You know how small our rooms are 😩

When students feel comfortable and at ease, they are more likely to be engaged in their learning. A home-like atmosphere can make learning feel like a natural, enjoyable process. @alcdsb_stph, @alcdsb,

@NoackDianne @alcdsb_stph @alcdsb I think it looks huge Dianne but I wish it had more space..lol!

@AnaRand6 @alcdsb_stph @alcdsb Your classroom is huge!

Congratulations to all our Gr 8s who celebrated their graduation last night at St Pats with family and friends. All the best in high school! @alcdsb

Our Play Day is underway! A fun way to wrap up the school year together. @alcdsb

Outdoor STEM Challenge, to use critical thinking and cross-disciplinary skills to construct the tallest free-standing tower from materials found in nature. @alcdsb_stph, #STEM

A very special tree was planted in our school year in memory of one of our former students who passed away last year, Daniel Van heyst.  The tree will serve as an ongoing memory of Daniel for our school community for many years to come. @alcdsb

An awesome afternoon with an electrician sharing with us his career path in the skilled trades, then leading us through some circuit projects! Big thank you to @alcdsb_oyap for this amazing opportunity! @alcdsb_stph

@alcdsb_stph Beautiful students! Congratulations everyone ❤️.

Congrats to all our St. Pat's students on their Confirmation! This milestone, rich in faith and community, signifies your deepened bond with the Holy Spirit. May this spiritual journey bring abundant blessings. Your journey continues, and we're with you every step!

Collaboration and teamwork at its finest. Ss created their own wall marble run, learning about physics concepts like kinetic and potential energy. @alcdsb, @alcdsb_stph, #stem
