It was wonderful to learn from and with an incredible group of educators for @etfoeducators.bsky.social Reading Part 2's Winter session. I am humbled by the kind words shared by this candidate and look forward to facilitating the Reading Specialist Spring course!
We are learning that we can create pictures in our minds as we read or listen to stories. During Shared Reading, the learners listened to the poem Spring and created art pieces to represent their ideas. So proud of the Kindies!
A recent cooking experience has been a spark for the Kindies at Rivercrest! Ss have created wonderful recipes in the indoor and outdoor classroom, from pepper soup to cupcakes and ice cream! I'm especially proud of my little writers who have been publishing mini recipe books! @tdsb.on.ca

It's a slinky!
So much excitement at the tinker table! "I think it's a confetti machine. It might be black spaghetti." I love how this has sparked such great conversations!

It was wonderful to start yesterday's staff meeting with a mindful moment. Play is therapeutic and liberatory for all!
This shared reading text became a great spark as we have engaged in an inquiry around ways people say hello. The learners have been so proud to say hello in the languages they speak at home. We are also grateful to the many visitors who have shared many ways to say hello!
Sharing stories and memories of love in California @naeyc as we honoured play-centric approaches to learning. @athompsonclass.bsky.social We hope that the winners of the books will center joy in their programming. @tcm
Our Tinker Table is open, and the Kindies have a lot of great questions! They are wondering why the DVD player has such a big opening? Play is the work of children!
Wish I could've attended this session! Going to make it a point to attend this conference in the near future.
A fantastic time engaging with educators around culturally relevant Early Years Math programming!
Wonderful ideas were shared around how to center mathematics in the early years. We had fun and engaged with math processes through playful approaches @NAEYC with @athompsonclass.bsky.social
