🌬️🍂 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

ONlit's Grade 1 Guide provides an overview of the curriculum expectations for Grade 1, some useful resources and friendly suggestions for research-supported teaching strategies that our own ONlit team members have found useful in their own classrooms. https://t.co/83WZpgxJMT

WORLD SERIES BOUND @BlueJays @NicholasDPCDSB wear you JAYS GEAR TOMORROW 💙🩵🧢

Visuals are powerful tools for building vocabulary and improving task comprehension. Our students used visuals to play board games and role-play ordering a pizza—turning everyday activities into meaningful language-learning moments 🙂

These sheets provide: ✔️ Specific information about the concepts in each step of our Scope and Sequence ✔️ Practical lesson ideas you can use right away ✔️ Word lists for both reading and spelling

@DPCDSB_SLP We used lots of fall-themed vocabulary during our scavenger hunt with the students in the IDEA classroom! Exploring seasonal words in real-life contexts helps students build language skills and deepen their understanding.

🍂 Our day began with a fall scavenger hunt! We spotted signs of the season on our walk, then dove into short A vowel fun—reading decodables, segmenting words, and using sound boxes to count phonemes @NicholasDPCDSB @DP_SELS

Today, we practiced 'short a'word chains in phonics—changing one letter at a time to make new words (cat → bat → bag). In math, we worked on ordering numbers using hands-on tools! @NicholasDPCDSB

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, today’s functional life skills lesson focused on hands-on learning through the preparation of apple crumble. Ss practiced essential skills such as following a recipe, measuring ingredients, using kitchen tools safely, & working collaboratively!!

Of course, there's always room for UFLI in my literacy program!!

Decodable texts are a powerful tool for building fluency and strengthening decoding skills. Our students use @scholasticCDA decodable sheets—and after reading, they apply their learning through writing to reinforce sentence structure and comprehension @NicholasDPCDSB @DP_SELS

Fine motor activities are an important part of our daily routine, helping little hands grow stronger and more coordinated every day.#IDEAroom @NicholasDPCDSB

Cooking is a staple in our room, and today’s recipe gave us the perfect mix of hands-on fun and real-world math. Measuring, fractions, timing—we used it all! It was a delicious way to learn (and yes, we loved the taste test at the end! @NicholasDPCDSB

September 30th is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Students & staff are encouraged to wear orange shirts to show their commitment to reconciliation🧡
