Thank you Mark from @CityofBurnaby for answering our questions about the Burnaby waterways maps @westridgeSD41 @BurnabyOutside

That feeling you get when it's time to play math games, but some students are so invested in the tasks from before that the thinking keeps happening 🥰 @SD41marlborough

[Andrea DeTerra @AndreaDeTerra]

As we are talking about biodiversity in class, you might want to try this at home!

When you squeeze cattails (the hot dog looking things) fluffy stuff comes out that can be used for pillows and bedding. “Being soft, warm and absorbent cattail was both insulation and diaper for babies” (Braiding sweetgrass for Young Adults) @BurnabyOutside

Looking for resources on decolonizing the classroom. Have a look on our lesson plan page! https://t.co/pKxtn30MKn There is a great resource that talks about how you can decolonize math. This is a question I get asked all the time. Have a look.
