OUR DAILY LEARNING COLLAGE
Resource: The concept, planning and programing of Our Daily Learning Collage is an idea that was created by two YRDSB Educators, Jocelyn Schmidt, OCT and Heidi Theis, DECE.
What is a "Daily Learning Collage?"Our Daily Learning Collage is a picture collage created with the YRDSB approved iPad app, PicCollage. It showcases important cross-curricular learning moments that occur during our day. It is shared daily, with students in a Knowledge Building Circle. Here, students learn the value of sharing their thoughts and ideas in a large group. As well, they learn the importance of turn taking, how to listen to others and how to respond positively to others ideas. This time also allows educators to model and introduce math, language and inquiry concepts and vocabulary. Educators also use this time to model early writing strategies through the Two Stars and One Wish that are co-created with the students.

Spending some time talking to your child about our Daily Learning Collage is a wonderful way to foster oral language, as well as get a glimpse of the learning that happened in the classroom. The following are prompts that you can use when talking with your child about the learning happened that day:
