🌈 Kindergarten creativity! I love the activity of building your own colour wall together. It reinforces colour recognition while making the learning process engaging and hands-on. #RecycledTreasures #ColourfulLearning ⁦@EY_uwindsor⁩

Math happens all day long in the wonderful world of Kindergarten!

I’m learning how the right materials and stimulating set up can help our little ones learn about the diversity among individuals and families through the joy of play. @EY_uwindsor #Belonging #OntarioKindergarten #FamilyConnections

🎶This is my son's Kindergarten class. Music plays a crucial role in child development. It enhances cognitive abilities, cooperation& creates community building social skills.Learning becomes a joyful and interactive experience ⁦@EY_uwindsor⁩

A memory from JK placement:Wanted to buy brick paper for our dramatic play centre. My AT teacher tossed a sponge at me, and said “boom-brick paper”. I will always remember this lesson that student generated work provides a more meaningful learning environment ⁦@EY_uwindsor⁩

I created this ‘Build a City’ activity mat to enhance play at the Lego centre. It is a great activity to help develop early numeracy skills such as number recognition, counting skills, and 1:1 correspondence. Play is a fundamental part of learning and development @EY_uwindsor

Excited to read this book recommended by @joanne_pizzuto. I am on the hunt for some must-reads to fuel my passion for education and add to my Christmas list. Share your favourite books below #TeacherReads #FutureEducators #FutureKindergartenTeacher @EY_uwindsor

This is great example of reflective learning. It is worth while to have students take the time to reflect on what they read. It will help them think about the content and apply personal meaning which helps develop their metacognitive skills for future learning.

I have Who Has is an interactive game to play as a whole class. It is a fun way to learn and practice various skills (vocabulary, sight words, figurative language). My Language Arts teacher creatively incorporated this learning game into attendance @PJLanguageArts

This word family activity has it all; students can write, build, create or draw. The goal is to get kids to interact with words as much as possible. The repetition of seeing sets of words in a variety of activities helps children begin to read and remember them. @PJLanguageArts

A class journal like this could really enhance student creativity. Each child gets a chance to take home the class pet and a book to read. Adding in the journal will help improve communication and build writing skills. ⁦⁦@PJLanguageArts⁩

Nonsense word practice is an essential component of phonics instruction. It's incredibly valuable because it requires kids to use their phonics knowledge to decode (not just rely on words they've already "memorized"). ⁦@PJLanguageArts⁩

use this poster to introduce a new read aloud. Students will make predictions on the title only, the front cover, and then the summary on the back. This will encourage inferences, critical thinking and building anticipation for a new book ⁦⁦@PJLanguageArts⁩

Loving this idea shared in my Language Arts class to encourage readers to read silently and independently. It is a creative way to spark excitement and engagement to develop a love of reading. @PJLanguageArts https://t.co/ed9auD40My

I love games that encourage learning. This is a great small group activity. It is a really fun way to teach phonemic awareness, letter patterns, and positioning. Students will be excited to share all the words they create @PJLanguageArts

I wanted to share an easy craft project I use with my son to teach phoneme manipulation. He has fun sliding the letter strip to form new words. This ability to replace a phoneme sound is an important step in language development ⁦@PJLanguageArts⁩

I love this activity. It’s a post it note blending board made up of consonants & vowels to make real and nonsense words. Have students change one sound at at time and blend the word. This helps students learn new words by breaking down the individual sounds @PJLanguageArts

This a great read with a lot of fun ideas to help students learn the Alphabet. Studies show that varied and repeated exposure is essential to helping our students learn. ⁦⁦@PJLanguageArts⁩
