Thanks to true artist Janet Hinkle and TDSB Creates, @Sprucecourt grade 4 & 5 students experimented with mono printing. Over five weeks, they explored colour and layering through printmaking. Today they put their final work onto a canvas.

They are all beautiful! The textures are fantastic, as well as the colours, all blended from the three primary colours. #printmaking #monoprinting #TDSBCreates #joy #art #studentart

#dayofpink2023 @Sprucecourt what a day 💜The GSA made pronoun pins for everyone, they came by classes and made a thoughtful and engaging presentation to students, this afternoon we reflected about the importance of standing up to homophobia and anti-trans hate. #Lovesprucecourt

A great day at the Botanical Gardens - Living Winter. @Sprucecourt Grade 4/5 students fed chickadees from their hands, dissected owl pellets and learned more about biodiversity and food chains. It was magical and very cold.

One of my talented students gifted me this beautiful, handmade dragon. This same student has a class currency, that gets handed out and others can “purchase” his work. #origami #creative #joy #entrepreneurs #ilovemyjob

Stop Doug Ford’s attack on Ontario workers! I just sent an email to say: hands off workers’ right to strike! Will you send one too? #OnLab #OnPoli #EnoughIsEnough ofl.ca/action/email-hands-of…

@Purvature this looks like something our classes would enjoy! It ties in nicely with estimating ;)
New TikTok video: Estimation time. How many rubber bands until this pumpkin pops?
