Parents expect and trust that there will be 2 adults (one teacher & one DECE) with differing expertise to provide critical learning, social-emotional as well as physical supports for our youngest #HandsOffFDK #ETFO #ONTed – at Toronto, Ontario
We used Kick Sleds in Kindergarten today! Daily outdoor exploration happens thanks to having two educators (OCT & REECE) in the program. #HandsOffFDK

How do you promote #math #growthmindset in your classroom? Mistakes are powerful catalysts for learning and change in safe and supportive learning environments. Low floor, high ceiling tasks encourage rich problem solving and collaboration and provide entry points for all!

Literacy and Math demonstrated in many ways outdoors. Open-ended materials can be used at each child’s ‘just right level.’ #EYExpectMore2018
