Room 18 wrote some #DearTerry letters in French to share how Terry inspires them with his bravery, determination and sacrifice. Merci Terry! @shewrdsb

So much focus and concentration went into creating these brass rubbings of authentic people who lived and died in the Middle Ages. Check out some of these works in progress! Great job, Room 18!

How many student shoes does it take to cover the area of 1 squared meter without gaps or overlaps? Students learned the importance of measuring with consistent unit size.

Reflecting one last time on the lingering beauty and calm of Winter as we press forward to the Spring with renewed energy! "Winter Tree Perspectives" by room 18 students @shewrdsb

Grade 4s worked as a team to label a large map of Canada. They had to give cardinal directions in French to help each other, and completed the map in a record 1 min 5 seconds! Great team work, Wolfpack! @shewrdsb

Students wrote personalized affirmations to each other to honour their friendships and relationships with their classmates earlier this week.

Today we learned about "Hygge" and how we can experience it this time of year. (Thanks Mr. Barlen for loaning us your book.) We discovered how to write it in different languages and plan to label our "Hygge" hot chocolate art! "Hygge" Holidays, everyone! From room 18 @shewrdsb

Thanks Kitchener for the 100 honks (we counted), waves and even a police siren to show your support for our Walk for Wenjack. Ss felt a sense of purpose as they walked the path of reconciliation and shared their message about Chanie Wenjack through chants and posters. @shewrdsb

Students in Rm 18 @shewrdsb shared their thinking, feeling and wondering as they listened to Shin-Chi's Canoe during the Week of Truth and Reconciliation.

Orange T-shirts inspired by stories such as, "Shin-chi's Canoe", "When we Were Alone" and "My Heart Fills with Happiness". Rm 18 @shewrdsb commits to be part of the solution.

"Terry Fox Rocks" are back! Rm 18 shares Terry's inspiring messages of hope, courage and perseverance by painting a key word from a favourite quote on a rock that will be placed along the course to motivate others as they walk, run or roll at our #TerryFoxRun tomorrow @shewrdsb!

Take in these vibrant Yukon landscapes by Room 18, inspired by artist, Ted Harrison!

This communal piece has been the focal point of many discussions amongst students in room 18. I love seeing students admire and be inspired their classmate's goals. @shewrdsb

Love that these reminders of self-worth will be the first and last messages the students see each day when they arrive at school and leave for home. @shewrdsb

"I am seen, I am appreciated, I am loved." These are some of the sentiments Ss in room 18 shared after reading the positive adjectives their classmates wrote about them. They selected some of the kind words that impacted them most and recorded them on a symbolic eye. @shewrdsb

RM 18 created a collage of "Athletes in Action" to commemorate the 2022 Winter Olympics! @shewrdsb

Happy #LunarNewYear to everyone in the #WRDSB community who is celebrating. Despite #COVID19 restrictions, we hope you can still find virtual, safe and meaningful ways to connect with your family and friends. May this year bring you good health and great fortune! #YearOfTheTiger

My bucket is full just from reading your notes of encouragement, thanks and compliments to each other, Room 18! I'm so blessed to come to a classroom full of "bucket fillers" everyday @shewrdsb.

We have the most AMAZING team at Sheppard. Their knowledge and expertise, their love and care for children, and their commitment and dedication make our lives richer every day! They are an invaluable part of our family and we appreciate them more than words can say. ❤️
