We have been learning about measuring in centimetres, using a ruler. 📏 I loved seeing this real world math connection students made today when they decided to measure how big this pizza slice is! 🍕

Students enjoyed learning how to play Dreidel, as we have been learning about different celebrations from this time of year! 🕎

We were excited to have our very own “elf on the shelf” arrive on Thursday! ❤️🎄

AJ Baker and all TVDSB schools are CLOSED for the day due to weather. Please do NOT come to the school today. Stay safe and warm, Crusaders.

Students enjoying the first big snowfall of the season! ❄️

I always love getting unique drawings from students, especially when careful details have been added. I can tell exactly which hand is mine ☺️🩷

Our first day of Braille Club was a huge success! 👀

So proud of the dedication my students put into their mixed media poppy art for @AJBakerKintore Remembrance Day ceremony. Lest we forget 🌺

Today in math we focused on efficient counting. After counting large quantities of items, Ss agreed that putting items into groups of 10 made counting much easier!

Wampum belts are physical representations of historical records, agreements & understandings between Nations and have been used on Turtle Island long before settlers arrived. To learn more, check out one of the following videos: youtube.com/watch?v=8Ckxi7… and youtube.com/watch?v=6Mcphy…

Students enjoyed learning about Diwali, especially once we had Diyas lit up in the classroom! 🪔🎆

Students completed their first “big” writing project of the year! They did a great job following the writing process. 🧙‍♀️🧟‍♂️

@AFynClass Congratulations! I will always treasure the opportunities we had to work together ☺️

I’ve been a teacher since 1994. Today, is my last day. Retiring and looking forward to new challenges as a P/t professor.
