Such excitement as @ms_wasitis’s @HWDSBSummerCamp group completes these number challenges. A great opportunity to explore numbers together. Could lead to a closer look at different addition strategies. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/xIN48YlPJ1

I love this so much! Ms. Ung hid words in the hallway that worked with the prefixes that she gave to each @HWDSBSummerCamp group. Reading together, building words, building vocabulary, and moving! ❤️❤️❤️ pic.twitter.com/9OD9c2ATkp

Our LEAPS students are problem solvers – and use big vocabulary 🤩 Their tall tower is going to fall 😬 Student E springs into action: “We need to stabilize the bottom!” @TCDSBSummerLit @TCDSBSpeechLang @rolife007 @emmoretti @BrendaSevillano @tdece1 @OntarioSLP #STEMeducation pic.twitter.com/XFgOhiIAVd

My @hwdsbsummercamp experience, along with my passion for #parentengagement, inspired this post. I'm thinking about a new way to engage families this school year. Any insights to share? https://t.co/qlWXTFyG5T Thanks @bloggucation & @WithEqualStep for inspiration. #onted #edchat pic.twitter.com/lMJGzdg9Wl

Thanks to this instructor for sharing with us about the benefits of read alouds. She gives us some different examples of questions to ask. What are some questions that you ask when reading with your child at home? We would love to hear about your experiences! 1/2 pic.twitter.com/W2Vvpczhmk

All @HWDSBSummerCamp admin and site leads have led optional #parentengagement sessions throughout the week. We are trying to find different ways to engage parents and provide options for families. This way was well-received by many families! pic.twitter.com/MPa7SWiKCS

I only caught the end of this math estimation activity in Ms. M.’s @HWDSBSummerCamp class today. Afterwards she got students to further reflect on how they knew they were right. She really emphasized the importance of “communication” in math! ❤️❤️❤️ pic.twitter.com/XfhzP3QJMw

Love how this @HWDSBSummerCamp instructor read a book during snack time. Kids slowly started to join on the carpet. An opportunity to then work on oral blending. Intentional learning time can even happen at snack! ❤️ pic.twitter.com/lyZpcq3EmU
