A fun day at @WHDayES annual Science Fair. We had 77 wonderful projects in the gym this year. The top finalists are given the opportunity to participate in the Simcoe County Regional Fair next month. Thanks to Mr. Wilcox for organizing this opportunity for Ss. @SCDSB_Schools

Exciting day! Looking forward to diving in and exploring the new Language curriculum. Love the connections to Kindergarten. It is imperative that explicit and systematic literacy instruction begins in Kindergarten. Our Ss are capable & competent. @SCDSBey @SCDSBLiteracy

The new Ontario Language Curriculum 1-8, aligned with the recommendations of the Ontario Human Rights Commission, has been released online: dcp.edu.gov.on.ca/en/curriculum/… Note the inclusion of K on the Foundations Continuum! 🎉

Outdoor learning is one of our class’ favourite times of the day. Today our 3 Kinder classes @WHDayES had a blast spending our day learning outdoors. Thanks to @actionbonnie & @MurrayKindie for planning & facilitating a day fill of outdoorable fun. @SCDSBey #All4frames

It was 'heart-worming' 🪱 to see Kindergarten students from @WHDayES exploring the great outdoors @ the Education Centre today! Students participated in a variety of free play activities. Looks like they really 'dug' it! 🌦️ @scdsboutdoors @allaboutkinder2 #Outdoorable

Just watched “The Right to Read.” A fantastic film with an important message highlighting the importance of explicit and systematic instruction & the importance of phonological & phonemic awareness skills & phonics in the early years. Reading is a complex process. #RighttoRead

Here is one of my fav resources “Find and Seek” cards. Great oral language and vocabulary activity that can be extended in multiple ways. Reach out if you’re interested in learning more about our session from today. Look forward to extending this learning with educators.

1st session of our 4 Part Learning Series -Supporting Early Readers and Writers. It was amazing to collaborate & learn together with K-3 educators from @WHDayES @marshview_ps @ChrisHadfieldSc as we discussed the shift to structured literacy and what that looks like in our classes

We exchanged letters & ideas back & forth & our learning buddies @DAnderson_scdsb planned an afternoon of fun. We loved following the clues to find the special pumpkin patch & our very own pumpkins. Amazing leadership & so many #scdsb character traits observed. @WHDayES @SCDSBey

If you’re a kindergarten teacher who used Acadience for beginning of year screening & had students below benchmark in First Sound Fluency (FSF), I’m happy to share a doc with ideas for small group/1:1 targeted work. Reply & I will DM link (may need to be following me).

An outdoor adventure full of learning with our grade 5/6 buddies @DAnderson_scdsb We played a game of Find & Seek and collected a variety of natural materials according to different clues, had a spontaneous leaf challenge and created beautiful fall hangers using our collections.

Last week our class showed our appreciation for our custodians by creating a special card thanking them for all that they do for our class and our school. Thank you @WHDayES custodians for all that you do. We appreciate you. @SCDSB_Schools

Last week we read the story, “My Body is a Rainbow. The Color of my Feelings.” This inspired us to create our own I Statements. We paired each I statement with a different colour and created our own “I Statements” key chain. @SCDSB_Schools @SCDSBey @SCDSB_Wellness @WHDayES
