“It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops. Today, November 2, a Sunday of rain and broken branches and leaf-clogged drains and slick streets, it stopped, and summer was gone.” - A. Bartlett Giamatti (with a small change from October to November)
Obviously, this is not true. You don't have to have fun to learn. Teachers...please do not feel the pressure to make every lesson a show or event or entertainment. Just teach well. theeffortfuleducator.com/2019/01/10/afo…
If you're not having fun, you're not learning. There's a pleasure in finding things out.
“I know we all believe in social-emotional learning. I do as well. But what I have found is that sometimes if you just teach children to read and write and give them the academic skills, behavior decreases.” 🎤 drop from @MitchellBrookns open.spotify.com/episode/3REKMz…
I had the absolute pleasure of listening to Dr. Reid Lyon as the closing keynote at the @IDA_Ontario conference #LitLearn2025 10 Maxims: What We've Learned So Far About How Children Learn to Read readinguniverse.org/article/explor…
Monday is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (#NDTR), also known as #OrangeShirtDay. It's a time for us to reflect and remember: Every Child Matters. Artwork shared from @morning.star.designs on IG

@thismomloves @IDA_Ontario @amandavande1 @sstollar6 It was awesome. We are piloting Spring Math this year!
@MelindaHinch @unamalcolm @ONlit_social Any update on this, @unamalcolm ? 🙂
@MelindaHinch I am going through my LitLearn notes (finally!) and I have your name scribbled beside "Mentor Texts for each grade - ask for book list!!!" Can you help a girl out? :)
@thismomloves It’s in my cart. You’ve convinced me to buy it!
I can't stay quiet. For those boards actively blocking the implementation of the @OntHumanRights Right to Read recommendations: Illiteracy is oppression. Structured literacy (including explicit phonics instruction & early reading screening) is the opposite of oppression.
A little late - but have been slowly digesting #LitLearn2024 and all the amazing learning. Here’s some of our team fangirling over Anita Archer😍

Vocabulary knowledge is 1 of the largest contributors to reading comprehension (RC). According to Stahl & Nagy(2006),vocabulary knowledge contributes 50-60% of the variance in RC. A consistent vocab instructional routine is a powerful tool every teacher needs in their tool box!
Why I love reading and sharing that with my students. 🥰 #languagecomprehension #buildingbackgroundknowledge
