Hi Sarah! I have used loose parts with Kindergarten to Grade 2 students for a few years now. I start with Kindergarten after the winter break. Model and review expectations every visit. Talk about germs and that they don’t go in pockets b/c it’s stealing. They are really good with them.

Creating fun stick friends for Louise and Milo with Grade 2’s in celebration of #ForestofReading Blue Spruce nominee #AnooshaSyed! #schoollibraryjoy #edusky

What does beauty look like? Friends playing in the snow! Rainbows and playing in the grass! After reading “Because You Are” by @jaelrichardson.bsky.social, Kindie artists created beautiful pictures using loose parts today in the library. Such creativity!

Better late than never! Read our first #ForestofReading #BlueSpruce book “Asha and the Toymaker” today by Sakshi Mangal. Grade 1/2 class decorated toy trains and rocking horses with loose parts! Beautiful creations!

Excited to connect with others! #EduSky

Today is the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.

Thirty-four years ago today, 14 women were murdered and another 10 were injured at École Polytechnique de Montréal.

All because they were studying engineering.

All because they were women.

Celebrating #ireadcanadian day today! Two wonderful virtual read alouds with classes! #schoollibraryjoy

Perseverance, problem solving and creativity! Grade 2/3 students working hard building bat houses in the library! #cardboardisthebest
