Happy Gurpurb to all those who are celebrating Guru Nanak's birthday.

Small building on a rainy morning. 🌧

Mr. Griffith’s green thumb club was busy transplanting a quickly growing leafy green today #everyonegetmuddy @ideasINinquiry

the @EldoradoPDSB #GreenThumbSquad has been busy replanting and caring for our plants! Thanks @ideasINinquiry for your mentoring and teaching us so much about plants!

Fostering our love of reading and writing with book creation.

@Teacher_Chapman @gelinas_nancy @Mrs_Lang_ I was just using your @EldoradoPDSB copy yesterday!

I’ve been nominated by ⁦@gelinas_nancy⁩ to post covers of 7 books that I love. No explanations or reviews, just covers. Each time I post, I’ll nominate someone else to take up the challenge. 1 cover each day for a week 5/7. Next up ⁦@Mrs_Lang_⁩

Using pattern blocks, we filled in the shapes. Can you try to use as few shapes as possible? Students wrote down how many shapes they used.

Rahil and I were working on showing blocks with 3 green at the bottom, 2 yellow in the middle, and 1 pink on top. How many different ones can you make?

Vote no to cats and yes to dogs.

Valuing play in the classroom is essential to providing authentic reading/writing opportunities. Inquiring about interests in block building lead us to documenting our learning about obstacle courses. We created criteria, debated, refined... what learning do you see?

More reds, more yellows, or the same? What is your guess? How do you know if you were right?

Synchronized tire balancing. Winter Olympics sport 2022.

Watching the “Bee Movie” to make connections to plants and humans and how they effect one another. Do animals and plants have a connection? Are we all connected?

I love polydron shapes! Such great creations and opportunities for math talks.

Displaying our amazing kindergarten writing. Taking opportunities to reflect on our building. I wonder what we’ll plan next!

Happy Diwali everyone!

Save the date! This year’s Fun Fair will be June 21 from 5 to 8 pm. All you can play wristbands are now available on School Cash Online. @EldoradoPDSB

Continuing to look at symmetry using lego building. We are focusing on building descriptive math language describing what things look like. For example "I used a 2x4 block and a 1x6 block in my design".
