What is the POWER and IMPACT of words? Students chose one word that could change the world, or represent how they wanted to define their year ahead. Connecting our learning to whole school read alouds this week was very impactful in our classroom. @DesmondHDSB
After listening to our whole school read aloud “One Word For Kids,” our class focused on the impact of words. The Grade 2’s and 3’s brainstormed some powerful words that would most definitely impact and change the world 🌍 @DesmondHDSB
Day 4: Whole school read aloud @DesmondHDSB 1-1 Communicating about our favourite place or person using a multimodal approach with loose parts to make writing @glitterqn15
After listening to our whole school read aloud “A Day With No Words,” our class shared about all of the different ways to communicate 👋 🎶✍️ 🖼️ Then we had fun representing some of our favourite places in a multimodal way! @DesmondHDSB
Our school wide Inquiry Question, guiding us in our learning of the new Language Curriculum.
The #HDSB recognizes the International Transgender Day of Remembrance. Today, we honour and remember those transgender people, whose lives were lost due to anti-transgender discrimination and violence.
Happy Diwali!
Nov. 8 is National Indigenous Veterans Day. This is a day of remembrance and commemoration of the contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis veterans and those who continue to serve. The #HDSB honours and recognizes these many contributions. @HDSBIndigenous
Just a little Tuesday Knowledge Building and Inquiry at VIO. @HaltonDSB @DesmondHDSB
Students took the @HaltonDSB's Discriminatory and Harmful Language protocol and "Desmond-fied" it so that it is relatable at every grade level! Today we were looking at how we can intervene when and if we here this sort of language in the juniors grades! @DesmondHDSB
On the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honour survivors, their families, and communities. The history and legacy of residential schools remains a vital component of the reconciliation process and all students, staff and families in the HDSB.
Here this afternoon at @DesmondHDSB school speaking to Grades 5-8 about the jingle dance, which is a healing dance of the Anishinaabe. This is the best medicine I could ask for at the end of what was a challenging week for so many. Students always remind you of your “why”. 🧡
To start the 2023-24 year, @DesmondHDSB has been engaging in a community-building schoolwide Peg People initiative. K-Grade 8 students have been busy painting peg pieces - to be on display in the front foyer - that represent who they are and what makes them unique. 📽️Watch⤵️
The HDSB is aware of the planned protests scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 20. We are committed to upholding the human rights of all students, staff, families and our communities. Please read our statement: bit.ly/3t1SSKV
Kicking off @DesmondHDSB grade 7FI STEM with a marble run challenge. Amazing to watch teams independently map out the design, construct the plan of action, and delegate tasks to one another. Looking forward to collaborating with our awesome Grade 7 team! @HDSBScienceTech
This week in 2-3 we took math outdoors. Students were challenged to draw, write and label the math they could see as we walked around our hardtop and field! @DesmondHDSB @HDSBMath
Our finished Peg People were proudly added our School Community Display @DesmondHDSB
When co-creating our learning environment, students voiced that they wanted to see a welcome sign in our classroom. 2-2 worked so hard to make this beautiful collaborative art piece 🖼️ 🖍️. Everyone is welcome here @DesmondHDSB #wolfpack🐺 #ThisisUsWhatisOurImpact?
Today Gr 8s and 7s co-created their commitments for Knowledge Building Circles. Lots of ideas on how students can create a safe/brave space where we can all learn from and with one another. Thank you 7-1FI, 7-1, and 7/8-1 for welcoming me into your space! @DesmondHDSB
