More kids got involved as they thought of other food items to order. I wonder if bringing in some different paper choices for little signs might inspire even more writing and reading of words, even as I walk away. ❤️ cc Hwdsb Summer Camps

I loved all of the math talk as I walked by an Hwdsb Summer Camps group with Frances Nicolaides today. She even left the games for instructors to continue tomorrow. Working alongside some #focusonyouth students allowed for more targeted math instruction. ❤️

Thanks to our four Focus and Youth students for leading our camp song during morning circle today Hwdsb Summer Camps

We had so much fun playing some of the math games Kelly McCrory had put together from her “Games with a Purpose” session! Students definitely grew in confidence after a few rounds. Love engaging with kids this way!

Ms. Cote shares with us about different ways to use books. From talking about pictures to build vocabulary to reading words and discussing what happened in the book, we would love to hear more about what you do. ❤️

“A money dispenser.” I love the use of vocabulary from some of our Hwdsb Summer Camps students. Kids can support each other with new vocabulary too. ❤️❤️❤️ cc @OntarioSLP

Loved walking into Ms Wasitis’ Hwdsb Summer Camps class today. Opportunities to read with students based on targeted #ufli lessons, while Ms Wasitis worked with a small group. ❤️❤️❤️ Apparently we moved to some math with ages too! 😂

Love the opportunity to connect with Hwdsb Summer Camps instructors during class. In Ms. Ung’s group, students created this lake for fishing as part of a camping experience. What if she added in some plastic and garbage tomorrow?

Could a Q-Chart extend to some questions and a writing opportunity? This could then extend to even more authentic reading and writing opportunities, as was true with these kinds of signs. ❤️❤️❤️ Excited to see where this goes next!

Ms. Ung shared the writing that her students did throughout the week, which aligned with #ufli learning, class inquiries, and modelled lessons. Love how students chose to apply their learning from previous weeks into new learning opportunities.❤️ cc Hwdsb Summer Camps

I wish that I recorded the reaction when Ms. Ung, an Hwdsb Summer Camps instructor, shared how she bought Halal marshmallows for S’mores. Kids broke out in cheers. This one instructor decision brought such joy, & allowed for inclusion for all! ❤️

Shout out to Ms. Perks for planning this amazing camp wide scavenger hunt. The whole camp participated in groups to solve clues to practice the literacy and math skills learned during camp. Hwdsb Summer Camps Queen Mary

Building community is a big part of what we do at Hwdsb Summer Camps. Thanks to the site leads and principals for creating these kind of community experiences for staff too. Just one “thank you” from today. Thanks Maria Marino (she/her/elle) and Frances Nicolaides!

Thanks Maria Marino (she/her/elle), Frances Nicolaides, and the Hwdsb Summer Camps staff for creating this Literacy and Math Play Day opportunity for kids and families! ❤️❤️❤️

Probably my favourite day of camp this summer!

It’s not just about reading words, but thinking about what they mean. Here are some words I found on a dog walk today. What words can you find in your neighborhood? What signs? Reading happens in many different contexts — not just in books. What are different things you read?

Final day of Hwdsb Summer Camps Queen Mary and we ended with a Water Day! Thanks for Mr. G’s group for planning and creating these fun games to practice literacy and numeracy!

Ms. Ung’s Hwdsb Summer Camps group made S’mores in their solar ovens today. Will they work? Love how she created reflection questions to dig deeper and think more. Also made sure everyone could eat the S’mores with Halal marshmallows and nut-free ingredients. ❤️

Ms Wasitis’ group made LEGO marble runs. What about now tracking successes and failures as a way to also explore data while testing them out? ❤️ cc Hwdsb Summer Camps

Such excitement as Ms Wasitis’s Hwdsb Summer Camps group completes these number challenges. A great opportunity to explore numbers together. Could lead to a closer look at different addition strategies. ❤️
