What a great first day with @OriginalRoland and the sewing studio crew! It was pure joy in the LLC! @BritanniaPS

Mme Balbaa’s gr2s using French online library tools to learn about animals, physical characteristics & how they help the animal survive. Thanks to parent council for the headphones & splitters. They help us to work more collaboratively. ⁦@BritanniaPS⁩ ⁦#SchoolLibraryJoy

Mrs Steibelt’s grade 4&5s designing and building electric vehicles and solar powered projects. The innovation, critically thinking and problem solving was shining out of all of them. #GlobalCompetencies ⁦⁦@BritanniaPS⁩ ⁦@peel21st⁩

Mrs Hallas’s & Mrs Forestieri’s classes exploring new tools and considering how they might use them to share their learning. They are teaching others (including teachers) as they discover new features. Great to have experts in the room. ⁦@BritanniaPS⁩ ⁦#SchoolLibraryJoy

Ms Auger’s K class are learning more about worms and vermicomposting. They’re very excited to learn new and interesting facts. They’ve grown so much this year by asking good questions and are developing their inquiry skills. ⁦⁦@BritanniaPS⁩ ⁦@PDSB_Libraries⁩

K classes ⁦@BritanniaPS⁩ spent time collaboratively exploring some of the tools we have in the library. They showed great critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, collaboration and communication skills. #GlobalCompetencies

Mrs. Lewis’s grade 3s exploring coding with ⁦@microbit_edu⁩ so that we can familiarize ourselves with the tool and consider how we might incorporate it into our inquiry. ⁦@BritanniaPS⁩ ⁦@peel21st⁩ ⁦@PDSB_Libraries⁩ #SchoolLibraryJoy

Fun times in the LLC this week @BritanniaPS ! #SchoolLibraryJoy @PDSB_Libraries

Today we recognized International Women’s Day @BritanniaPS with @meena ‘s Ambitious Girl. What makes you, YOU? How can you #InsipreInclusion everyday? #SchoolLibraryJoy @PDSB_Libraries

What to do with a box? Ms Harlow’s grade 2 and 3 asked question, researched, planned, designed and built. #SchoolLibraryJoy @BritanniaPS @PDSB_Libraries

Ms. Augers Ks asking their own questions about something they are interested learning more about and using different sources to find the answers. What do you want to learn about? @BritanniaPS @PDSB_Libraries #SchoolLibraryJoy

Students from Ms Harlow’s class explored some of the new books in the library. Turned into an impromptu read aloud among friends. @BritanniaPS @PDSB_Libraries #SchoolLibraryJoy

Ms Harlow and Ms Hallas’s grade 3s collaboratively explored a variety of building tools to make strong and stable structures.

Mrs. Lewis’s gr3s worked in groups to plan and design structures to hold a cup of coins. They explored and tested different ways to make their structure stronger and stable. How might we use this information to revise our plan? What materials might we use? #SchoolLibraryJoy

Ms. Auger’s Ks wanted to learn about hermit crabs. We explored PebbleGo and found out that, as they grow, they move to new shells. This led to more questions. One students wondered if turtles do the same thing. Great questions coming from our youngest students. #SchoolLibraryJoy

At the end of our coding each sessions, we reflected on what went well, what was difficult, and what we enjoyed most. The best was a gr2 shared “I liked when we failed over and over again and then we finally figured it out together.” #BetterTogether #SchoolLibraryJoy @peel21st

The coding fun continues. Love how well the students work together, support each other, and celebrate each other’s learning. My favourite moment today was hearing one student say excitedly,“You did it E!” followed but cheering. @peel21st @PDSB_Libraries #SchoolLibraryJoy

K and 1/2 classes worked collaboratively and with the support of a grade 4/5 leader to plan and debug code. We started off unplugged to better understand using direction words and coding blocks to move on a grid. Then we used Botley to see our learning take action @peel21st

Today we considered how might our gender impact how we are seen/accepted in society and how might we celebrate the birth of all children? Thank you @storiesbysingh for sharing Sundar’s story #SchoolLibraryJoy

Today, one of our gr5s shared how he added slates and text to his “Museum of Me”. He even fielded questions from classmates who saw features in his build that they wanted to learn more about. Love accessing the expertise in the room to help move others’ learning further @peel21st
