Congratulations to @DunwichDuttonPS on receiving Blue School Certification for their commitment to water preservation!
They also recently celebrated raising $3450 for Ryan’s Well Fundraiser and receiving an ECO Platinum Award for partnering with the Optimist Club for Earth Day.
Students loved learning about ballet and bharatanatyam dancing, inspired by @ForestofReading nominated book “Bharatanatyam in Ballet Shoes”. We made ghungroo (anklets with bells) and learned some dance steps so we could hear our ghungroo jingle! @DunwichDuttonPS@TVDSBLiteracy
Just before Easter the grade ones did some unplugged coding! “How can you travel around and collect all the eggs?” “What path will you take?” We used dry erase markers and students had to complete 3 different paths before they could eat their eggs!@DunwichDuttonPS @TVDSB_STEM
We loved @ForestofReading book “Be A Good Ancestor”! Students drew ways they could be a good ancestor and do good while on Earth, and we used the ozobots to travel the path of our good deeds. @DunwichDuttonPS@TVDSBLiteracy@TVDSB_STEM
Had a blast today with @MandyCleland1 and the Lego Spike Essentials kit! Students were excited, engaged, and having so much fun learning to code their creations. @TVDSB_STEM@DunwichDuttonPS
Our @crunchlabs box came just in time for the ice day today! This is the best subscription box out there for little (and big) engineers! We highly recommend! I also love that it incorporates the ‘A’ in STEAM! 🎨
Can’t wait to use these Climate Action Kits with the students @DunwichDuttonPS 😀 The company today was also wonderful! It was so great to be back together in person with my fellow TLs! Thank you @AMcQuinnLTC@dtangred@MandyCleland1
Exploring micro-bits today was so exciting! Gr3s have been exploring structures this month so they were very excited to learn about micro-bits to test their future structures. @DunwichDuttonPS@dtangred@MrsLittleDDPS
Students loved @ForestofReading nominee ‘Meena’s Mindful Moment’ by @tathaide and got creative designing their own Hurly Burly Hullabaloo! They decorated around their Hullabaloo with images of things that make them feel calm and relaxed.

2wks ago we did a whole-school read aloud of @ForestofReading book “No More Plastic.” Inspired by the story, classes created plastic sculptures of sea creatures. Today we created a live diorama called “Protect Our Waterways” and reflected on our plastic use @DunwichDuttonPS
