If you truly believe in collaborative inquiry and are knowledgeable in building 21st century competencies, this is the complete opposite. It makes me rageful as I pay money to increase my own skills in courses that will now be put to waste as I prepare teach like a robot.

Let’s be perfectly clear - no board that announces the hybrid model as an option for September cares about staff, students, or education. The hybrid model is a cheap way to do what Lecce wants and hasn’t funded. It is easy for the board but a disaster for education. #untenable

So excited to see these books get the recognition they deserve!!!

@Sflecce I'm a parent who lost a child to an outbreak in a kindergarten classroom. I find it disappointing that, instead of acknowledging the real concerns of parents of 2 million children, you're choosing to pick fights with teachers. I wish you understood public education.#onted #onpoli

Thank you to the amazing @mstamteach who created this Sawmill Valley where’s Waldo search! Can you figure out who all of the teacher’s are in this scene?

The @SawmillValleyPS staff & @RealCdnSS in Oakville have donated 430 boxes of NV granola bars & water to @THP_hospital for their healthcare workers-some of whom are within our SV community. TU just for all that u do! #PeelFam @loblawco @PeelSchools @BonnieCrombie @PDSB_Director

Miss you so much Grade 1’s! Don’t forget, we will get through this together! ❤️

Hey @SawmillValleyPS please see the Forest of Reading Read-Aloud schedule for the week!

Dear parents, please check your email for a link to our new distance learning platform on Seesaw.

Calling all engineers! Forts or structures using couches, chairs and blankets are an amazing way to engage creativity, problem solving and collaboration. Take a look at the train we made last night. Share back any forts or structures you make at home!

We may be social distancing but we were able to get some of our staff together for World Autism Awareness Day 2020! Timberwolves, show us your blue! #seetheability #AutismAwareness #AutismAcceptance @PeelSchools

Let’s get counting! We made this super simple game this morning. You can use any container and any objects. Give each container a number of points and keep track. A person can win when they get to 10 points, or you can make the total higher for a challenge!

Hoping you’re having a wonderful Wednesday grade 1’s! Does anyone have any sidewalk chalk lying around? Today we went outside and wrote some positive messages on our front fence. The boys added their own details. What are you doing to feel positive today? ❤️

Let’s have a little #mathchat for anyone interested with an @MathBeforeBed visual prompt. Which one doesn’t belong? Why? Can you think of another? Can you think of a reason for each? Feel free to share your thinking below!

Happy Monday grade 1’s! I wanted to share the schedule we made for home. We don’t follow it exactly each day, but it helps us to know what’s happening next (kind of like the one we use in our classroom) Do your families use a schedule? Could you write one and share it with me? ❤️

"I know this is a big change, but we have to do this," Trudeau said, directly addressing children during his Sunday update on #coronavirus. ALSO SEE: https://t.co/BBZYL25R7r

With little notice, we got as many staff as we could to rock their socks for #WorldDownSyndromeDay2020. Today and everyday, let’s continue to celebrate our differences. Ok, Timberwolves, it’s your turn to #rockyoursocks and show us! @PeelSchools #WDSD2020 #seetheability

Hey grade 1’s! How’s everyone doing? I miss seeing your smiling faces each day. I’d love to see what you and your families are up to. Send me a picture of one favourite thing you’ve done inside over this past week. Maybe we can all get some inspiration from each other ❤️❤️❤️

We’ve been exploring procedural writing over the past couple of weeks. Today, students were challenged to pick a topic where they were the experts. Take a look at these creative ideas!

In the Makerspace we are combining our understanding of non-standard measurement and coding to make a path for different robots.
