From dried out markers, to dyed water, to squeezing with pipettes… our second go around with colour mixing involves paper towels so we can keep our mixed creations. (Previously we used ice cube trays to mix colours using the same pipettes.) #kindergarten #earlyyearssky 1/2

Transitioning to here from ‘that’ other place and keen to link and connect with others in ECE to learn, think and work together. All things early years but fascinated with the power of the arts, creativity and pedagogies which support participation, listening and thinking through materials.

We are constantly trying to find ways to keep it organized, to keep creations intact & of course, problem solve who took whose piece. We decided to try one of our big rolling bins & want to see if hot glue or alien tape is strong enough to keep some flats stuck to the sides for mini Lego walls.

We use our calendar to discuss special events that are coming up, the kids love to count how many days until our next birthday celebration & the always exciting- PIZZA DAY! The purpose of our calendar time is to spend time as a community talking about what our time together will involve each day.

For those who’ve ever wondered why elementary schools have adult playground monitors during recess.

As part of our recent discussions around identity, inside and out, seeing people beyond skin colour and what makes us special, many of the children were excited to write and illustrate books about their families and the things that are special to them. 1/2 #earlyyearssky #kindergarten

Two different groups, two different days and the water table has drawn students over to explore how the pompoms and plastic squishy balls might affect the floor of water. Lots of discussion about how fast the water makes the wheel spin and what floats and doesn’t. #kindergarten 1/2

Tried using AI @microsoftcopilot in a slightly different way for #pedagogicaldocumentation- ask how the Four Frames of our #kindergarten program in #onted are on display based on an observation of children at play. 1/2

Jane Fonda, the woman that you are. No notes. Iconic, brave, and necessary. Meeting the moment.

Creating with Lego often leads to storytelling and connection to previous learning and experiences. I love the explanation this student shared for how their creation moves and adapts to the setting. #kindergarten #makewriting #earlyyearssky #edusky

I observed and took notes of a groups of students who were deeply engaged in their pretend play outside this morning. They moved to many different locations, it involved a great deal of roaring, and it appears that no one child was leading the play but it was a group consensus. 1/2 #edusky

I really appreciated the messaging in this episode. I’ve read Untangled and am going to look into The Emotional Lives of Teenagers. As an educator of littles I think there’s still tips that can be applied and because I work in a K-8 school, it’s important to be a support for the older kids, too.

Working on a new inquiry looking at identity, family and celebrating our differences. And yes, #kindergarten children can talk about race and skin colour. #earlyyears #edusky #earlyyearssky

A2: teaching the use and norms at a young age so they are aware and can identify deepfakes. Routinely express/teach copyright just like we should be doing daily to remind them the importance of being a digital citizen #EduSkyAI

It’s Kindness Week at our school!! Today we set a challenge to pay attention to when we might be acting with kindness in our class in these 4 areas. At the end of the day we did a survey (math integration!) to see how we did. Looks like we need to work on sharing. #kindergarten #earlyyears #onted

One of our Year 1 students is a prolific artist and loves to try any new mediums and materials we put out. He started bringing his pieces over to our counter and attaching them with tape. His own little gallery showing!! I love it. 😍 #kindergarten #playbasedlearning #kidsart #earlyyearssky
