Family & friends, make me happy. Teaching & learning, help me grow. Sports & travel, exhilarate me. Cooking & painting, lets my creativity flow.

Every wondered what @PBLWorks looks like in the @Y5NIST @FieldingInt design? Using the @ibpyp, #NISTis developing students #inquiry and future-focused #skills, #attitudes & #dispositions! A #pyp #community in full #Collaboration @IBPBLJill @bmaxmil @randyfielding @danielsmelissa

@NathanRSmall @coachtuck2244 I think moving forward the team needs a versatile forward who can play both the power forward and center positions, he can bring energy and is a strong rebounder, can score from both inside and outside the paint. Portis is be the better choice.

Thank You @GretchenAMcC a great start to our day! @Y5NIST students inquiring into our calendar months "What would the 11th month be?" "Why are the months written the way they are?" "What does 'ember' mean?" "Who invented the calendar?"

It is with heavy hearts that we announce Sir Ken Robinson died peacefully yesterday, 21st August 2020, surrounded by family after a short battle with cancer.

We will be following up with a further update as we begin to follow Sir Ken’s wishes and honour his legacy.

During lockdown, Serlina Boyd searched for magazines that represented her six-year-old daughter Faith

But lack of diversity led them to embark on designing and printing the first ever UK magazine for young black girls

@GretchenAMcC Mute.

Late 14C, mewet "silent, not speaking"
12C, Old French muet "dumb, mute" Diminutive of; mut, mo, from Latin mutus "silent, speechless" probably from imitative base *meue - source also of Greek myein "to be shut," of the mouth.

Our service coordinator contacted me about a project to supply hospitals with face shields. I got the 3D printer from school delivered to our place & we are printing parts to assemble ~8 face shields a day. Our head nurse will deliver them. Go team! #isedcoach #edtech #edchat

This. 👍❤️ “This is not a time for you to be a transactional leader singularly focused on how learning may continue. It is a time for you to metaphorically wrap your arms around the young people in your care and embrace their families too.” 🙏

@BenjaminH44 @zoom_us Glad it can be of help! Let me know if you have any other good ideas with that PE background of yours. Maybe we could set up virtual cricket. One bowler, one batter, everyone else on the outfield.

COUNTRIES around the world closing borders. Governments imposing strict entry, quarantine requirements and preventing large gatherings. All efforts to contain the spread of the #COVIDー19. Where is Gandalf when we need him?
