How lucky were we to have @CJordanFenton visit our school this week. Thank you for sharing Margaret's stories with us. 💗
When you spend your Monday morning at the #SyntaxParty and immediately begin implementing strategies to increase students writing and reading power 🙌🏼 @ONlit_social
Between professional development workshops today @SevernAvePS staff took time to enjoy the solar eclipse. 🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘
Everything @kellyyanghk touches turns to gold. ✨💫🌟 "I want a world in which we're kind to each other online, all the time. Where we think before we speak. Where we cheer each other on. Where we spread joy, not meanness."
I had the greatest time participating in @ONlit_social book club for Shifting the Balance. I have learned so much about how to incorporate the Science of Reading into my J classes and look forward to participating in the Syntax Party on Monday!

We are reading Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus by @DustiBowling. Ch. 26 had the BEST cliffhanger. So great that we spent 30 mins making predictions, based on previous evidence, about WHO the person in the photograph is. I wish you could've heard this discussion! 😀
Many First Nations in Canada lack clean water. In #Attawapiskat the water from our taps is contaminated & can't be 'fixed' by boiling. We collect drinking water from 1 of 2 dispensaries. My family uses 12 x 5-gallon jugs daily #worldwaterday #waterislife #firstnations #firstwater
Students are generally more excited about learning when the teacher is excited about teaching. The engagement of the kids is usually connected to the enthusiasm of the adult.
Tarsia puzzles are such a fun way to review and strengthen skills. Today we focused on basic division facts, while also working on our spatial awareness, task persistence and productive struggle.
Everything is better with playing cards! Including the 4/5 segue from multiplication facts to division with a Friday afternoon filled with Fact Families!
It's always important to keep ourselves safe online. Here are some tips you can share with your kids from #FinallyHeard by @kellyyanghk!
Do your best, but remember that your worth is not defined by the result Image: instagram.com/gladyourehereco
Using a virtual geoboard and @nrichmaths Nine Pin Challenge, 5/6 strengthened their knowledge and application of measurement tools, while naming triangles by side length and angle measurement. 👏🏼
Learning about naming triangles based on their angle attributes means rediscovering how to use a protector. While there was some frustration, there was much more productive struggle. 🤩

Why don't TED Talks and keynote presentations start with learning targets, relevance statements, success criteria and a slide displaying the connected standards? Maybe it's because everyone knows it would kill interest in the topic right from the start.
