My Dufferin-Peel Learning Journey

Today, our students took part in a meaningful journey through the Stations of the Cross. @NicholasDPCDSB

@LipoMigena @DP_math @GoetzGators @GlobalMathDept I love this activity! Would you mind sharing where those cards are from? I’d love to use this lesson with my students.

After sorting the cookies ss followed the order of packing them in each bag. #Howmany cookies are in each bag? How do you know? Which one will you choose? @Dp_Math @GoetzGators #mathplay #mathplay4all @GlobalMathDept #mathisfun

Today, staff & students across DPCDSB gathered in community for prayer & liturgy to mark Ash Wednesday, marking the beginning of Lent. We'd like to share a reflection from this morning's staff liturgy at the Catholic Education Centre with our community: dpcdsb.org/download/548340

We love when Mrs. O comes in to teach us a new core word! We celebrated our lesson with a song and a dance—our core word was “good”! @NicholasDPCDSB @DPCDSBSchools

The IDEA class had the opportunity to make shortbread cookies! 🍪 We love incorporating functional skills into our program—learning that’s hands-on and delicious! @NicholasDPCDSB @DP_SELS

Writing skills were shining today! ✨ After creating snowmen with modelling clay and loose parts, students used rich descriptive language to write about their creations. This hands-on activity supported creativity, fine motor development, and writing growth. @NicholasDPCDSB

All DPCDSB schools and offices/facilities are closed to students and staff on Monday, January 26 due to winter weather conditions. Secondary exams scheduled for tomorrow will move to the designated Contingency Day.

Acts of kindness go a long way! 💙 Thank you to our Youth Faith Ambassadors for reminding us that each of us matter and highlighting the importance of self-care. We appreciate the treats and keychains! @NicholasDPCDSB

Today our students had the opportunity to write a procedural piece on how to make Grinch fruit kabobs! Afterward, they followed their own instructions step-by-step to create their festive treat. @NicholasDPCDSB

Our fine motor activity today was all about creativity! Students made their own Christmas trees and decorated them with colorful beads. It is a fun, hands-on way to build fine motor skills while getting into the holiday spirit!

Our Ss are loving the chance to retell the Nativity story through coding! Using the “12 Hours of Techmas” lesson, they’re blending creativity, storytelling, and computational thinking to bring this classic story to life in a whole new way! @NicholasDPCDSB @DP_SELS @DPTechTeam

🎳💻 Today, our students got to combine bowling and coding! Using Sphero BOLT, the students practiced their bowling skills. Learning + fun = a perfect strike! @NicholasDPCDSB

In math, we continued exploring patterns—but with a musical twist! After building our patterns, we brought them to life by playing them on the piano. 🎹 The students in the IDEA room loved hearing their patterns turn into music! @NicholasDPCDSB @DP_math @DP_SELS

Literacy in action! We used an AAC device to dive into a text, practiced high-frequency words, and expressed ideas through writing and visuals. Every student found their voice today! 🌟

🌬️🍂 Bundle up for language fun this November! Our monthly calendar 🗓️ is full of simple ways to boost talking, listening, and learning at home. Let's make learning a-maize-ing! 🌽✨ #SLPTips #OralLanguage #NovemberFun

Patterns are all around us! Students went on a school-wide pattern hunt, then explored and identified patterns in images from the EQUALS Math program. A great way to see math in action! @NicholasDPCDSB @DP_SELS @DP_math

In today’s cooking class, students made banana muffins while applying math & literacy skills — measuring accurately, following procedural text, and observing how quantities affect outcomes. Engaging, authentic learning in action! @NicholasDPCDSB
