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

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! 🎨

Loved pairing with one of my faves @mslachance1 today for this fun microbit coding experience!!
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
