Grade 6 SEEDschool students from Light of Christ made cookies and sandwiches for our guests in their foods room at school! Thank you so much!

SEEDschool students from Light of Christ School made piñatas for @CalgaryFoodBank and @innfromthecold to help other kids celebrate their birthdays in the most fun way possible! Look at these wonderful designs! @yycCCOM @mustardseedyyc
Three homemade piñatas. The one on the left is a white llama with a closed eye and yellow, blue, and pink tassels on its halter. The one in the middle is a hard shell taco with a gold hat, cartoon eyes, and a black mustache. The one on the right is a green cactus with a cartoon face.

A school display case full of homemade piñatas, including a while llama, two cartoon tacos, a slice of pizza, a purple bird, two cactuses with cartoon faces, a rainbow with a face, and a yellow emoji with sunglasses. The piñatas are made out of paper mache and decorated with crepe paper and construction paper.

Two grade 6 girls with dark skin and hair stand in their classroom showing off their homemade piñata: a rainbow with a cartoon face. The girls are wearing masks. The one on the left has glasses, a yellow shirt, a grey cardigan, and leggings. The one on the right is wearing a sweater with pink and white stars and sweatpants.

Last week our grade 3 & 4s worked on tableaus - frozen scenes conveying stories about empathy and kindness. Can you guess what's happening in each of these scenes?

Last week with St. Mark gr. 3/4s we learned all about responsibility! Look at this incredible art we made! We traced our hands, painted them with designs, and wrote five kind things we can do in our communities. A tree of kindness! @mustardseedyyc @yycCCOM

We love to see students' reflections after a week of SEEDschool! "I now know that that we are all human beings and we should all get a choice and be treated fairly" This is what empathy is all about! @mustardseedyyc @yycCCOM

SEEDschool students have been busy learning all about Homes for Heroes here in Calgary and designing their own tiny homes for veterans! What are things we need in a home? What are wants/extras? We used our math skills to fit everything important inside! @mustardseedyyc @yycCCOM

Huge thanks to Patricia Jones from @calgaryhomeless for joining our grade 5s in class today! We loved hearing about how empathy drives your work and we appreciate you answering all our questions. We are so inspired to end homelessness!

Today for SEEDschool we went outside to assess @divinemercyCCSD’s street using @cityofcalgary’s street survey! Is the street accessible? Safe? Welcoming? We asked “why is empathy an important part of city planning?” @mustardseedyyc

On Monday, we worked on developing empathy for the land. We wrote poems about how the earth feels, and brainstormed how we can help to take care of the earth. #seedschool @mustardseedyyc

Making posters about the dangers of stereotypes, after learning that everyone has a story and we can’t know someone just by looking at them. Stereotypes hurt!

Grade 5/6 students from Prince of Wales school were so fortunate to learn about these East Village murals from the artist, Katie Green! What stories do we tell through the masks we wear?
