Congratulations to the Grade 8 @JSCardinals for putting on an amazing Cake Walk display! One Grade 8 student, a newcomer from the Philippines 🇵🇭, decided to make a traditional Filipino dessert with his mother, a Yema cake. 😋 #WCDSBML
Gr 4s in @EmelieOwens' classroom warmly welcomed their new classmate from the Ukraine 🇺🇦. As she came to sit at her desk, for the very first time, she was gifted a teddy bear from a classmate that she had never met. These children are doing God's work. @JSCardinals
We can learn so much from kids.
This child is so blessed to be welcomed into such a kind and warm environment. @MsCoon2

Beautiful student-led Rosary Celebration today! Hearing "Hail Mary" in various languages spoken by our students was very special. #WeAreManyWeAreOne

A special Happy Thanksgiving to our newcomers to Canada. We are so #grateful that you are here with us!
Today a 10 yr old boy, a newcomer from Ukraine, shared his heartfelt feelings with teachers/peers as the Russian-invasion news unfolded. He led his peers in Our Father in his home language. Ss echoed his recited prayer in unison (and unity)🙏 Lord, hear our prayers 🇺🇦@StAlStars

Do you know a family who needs some help to understand the #OntEd school screening tool? Check out this deck with illustrated COVID symptoms translated into 12 languages and a video guide to completing the school screener. docs.google.com/presentation…
A heartfelt moment of Mrs. O'Meara and student co-reading @yuyimorales' inspiring book, Dreamers. Thank you for sharing your story with us. @MrsOMearasClass @StAlStars #CoTeach #WCDSBML
Making learning accessible for our Multilingual Learners is made easier with @binogi_ca. Thankful for digital learning tools that help reduce barriers while building confidence for our students. @MrsOMearasClass #WCDSBML #WCDSBCoTeach
Using @MsSalvac as inspiration, @MrsOMearasClass created Our Social Contract for the 2021-2022 school year. It is proudly hung in the classroom as a visual reminder of the promise we have made to each other. @StAlStars #WCDSBML #WCDSBCoTeach

#WCDSBML Important message from @MsSalvac 👇
Working with #Newcomers & #SLIFE? Here is a great playbook:
1) Be patient
2) Hold High Expectations
3) Remember #1.
They can work at grade level today with your support. But acquiring a language takes time. Patience is everything.
