Looking forward to the finished pieces and just being able to witness how proud these students are of their work. When we listen to student voices, they build such a trust and develop a stronger sense of belonging and sense of self. So proud!!

It’s been such a pleasure being in this space with our learners. We learn so much from them when they are able to share their choice and voice amongst their peers.

Love the safe space we have created for our leaders to share their culture with our class here at Harmony! #proudeducator
Today some of our grade six leaders shared about Ramadan by first reading In My Mosque to @edu_danielle’s class and then sharing about what this means to them. Love when we give students the space to lead the learning @Harmony_Heights @equity_DDSB @DDSBEarlyYears
