“Amène-moi dehors!”🍂Although ALC Kinders love all the time we spend outdoors each day, today was #TakeMeOutsideDay so we added some extra fun to our learning through play outdoors: music instruments, ribbons, mud painting, wood games, water play & a number hunt! @ALorneCassidy

@ghdwlgus_ji @kmheckman4 @Tornadohowl Oh my goodness…it’s gorgeous 😍 What a beautiful new space for those lucky BPS kinders! Thanks for sharing this pic, Ji! Wish I could play there with you all!🤗

Look at our new Kindergarten play structure! 🛝Our kinders were THRILLED to get to play on their new play structure at BPS. Thank you! 💕@kmheckman4 @Mme_Renee @Tornadohowl

It was so wonderful to welcome families back into the classroom this year for Meet The Team night! I forgot just how much I missed those special connections & witnessing our young Ss introduce their families.🥰Building relationships is such an essential part of education!🤝🫶

All @ALorneCassidy Kinders made their mark today for #DotDay 🟠🎨 “Un bon point” pour tous aujourd’hui en maternelle! Check out their risk-taking and creativity in their works of art. (The fun will continue with a dot-themed “vendredi STIM”/STEM challenge tomorrow - Stay tuned!)

Bon retour les amis! 🤗 What a great start to the new school year as we spent the day getting to know our new Pink Team kinders & welcoming back our Yr 2s. We explored all areas of our outdoor & indoor learning spaces too! On s’amuse bien dans la salle rose🎉 @ALorneCassidy

What a day of inspiration at #CEMEC2022 My 1st in-person conf in yrs 🤗 with @kmheckman4 learning new ways to support math dev in our kinder Ss. Joyful, artful, coding & the continuum of guided play! Excited to get back in the classroom! Thank you @LyndaColgan @DrSandyYoumans

Thanks to @Science_Techs & @KDebodt (our amazing @OCDSB tech coaches 🙌) for lending me a @SpheroEdu kit & inspiring all the #coding fun we had over 3 weeks! So many @ALorneCassidy students benefitted: Kinders & Gr 1/2s to Gr 4/5s. Can’t wait to borrow them again next year!🤗

Tweeting in behalf of Mrs. Mackay, who organized this beautiful end of year collaborative art project between our kinders & graduating Gr.8s! @ALorneCassidy has a new Kindness Rock Garden out front.😊Thanks to Water & Earth Supply Co. for the generous donation of rocks!

@Tornadohowl @OCDSB Oh wow! I’m crying over here😭😍 So well deserved and so creative!!! Miss you all!

Mr. Taniguchi got a surprise musical send off from staff and students to recognize and celebrate his 2 628 000 minutes at BPS! We will miss you Mr. T. @OCDSB #wolfpackforever

I still don’t have power at home tonight…but I powered through the 10k!🎉 (See what I did there?!)😜 Always a great feeling finishing #RunOttawa2022 No pb this time, but I still love this race!

C’est le vendredi STIM et nos petits ingénieurs démontrent leur créativité! 🎉 “Can you design an umbrella to keep your little person dry?”☔️ They tested out their designs with a gentle spray “rain” & checked if their people were wet! Lots of problem-solving on this rainy day!🌧

🎶”Sus zul. We sing with Spirit Bear…We want to see a world that is fair.”🎵 ALC Kinders brought in their stuffies today for #BearWitnessDay - showing such beautifully deep thinking as we reflected on the rights & services that all FN children should have access to. @SpiritBear

@McLennan1977 We too were inspired 🤗 “Let’s make a rainbow star, Madame!” ⭐️

Geometric #art on a beautiful #spring day. When finished remove the tape to reveal a colourful design! #onted #k12 #fridaymorning #education #edutwitter #kindergarten #math

@MmeBedard_WEJ @OttawaLouise Thanks to you for participating! We can’t wait to see what you & your Ss create with them!

So many possibilities! Thank you to @OttawaLouise and @Mme_Renee for the micro:bits work shop this afternoon! Looking forward to including these in future lessons!

@kmheckman4 @QueensEduc (We may or may not be telling our families that it is a two-day event to make a mini Kingston holiday out of it too!🤫🤣)

@Mme_Renee @QueensEduc I can’t wait!!! It will be so fun!!

Just registered with @kmheckman4 ! I’m really looking forward to further exploring the Power of Playful Math (and to returning to my alma mater @QueensEduc in one of my favourite cities too! 🥰👍) Who wants to join us?!

Our kinders never cease to amaze us! They independently drew such creative🦄& hilarious💩images on their 5x5 grids & input them in Basic “show LEDs” blocks in MakeCode! Batteries attached, they proudly showed off their coded animations to all around the room (our ducklings too!)

@Tornadohowl @VRPSocdsb @OCDSB Congrats Trent & best wishes! @VRPSocdsb is a very lucky school community indeed!!!

Farewell and best of luck to Mr. T as he heads off to @VRPSocdsb in the fall. Thanks for an incredible 5 years at BPS. Your spirit and dedication to students will leave a lasting impact on our school community. You’ll always be a part of the Wolf Pack.#wolfpackforever @OCDSB
