Υπαρχει τρόπος για "εναλλακτική" θέρμανση τον επερχόμενο χειμώνα. Να στείλουμε όλοι μαζι αυτη την ανίκανη κυβέρνηση και τον αποτυχημένο Μητς σπίτι τους. Ο,τιδήποτε θα ειναι καλύτερο από δαύτους με προυποθεση την άμεση επανακρατικοποίηση της ΔΕΗ. Η ενέργεια ειναι δημόσιο αγαθό.

As a native Greek speaker, I sometimes pause before responding to "What time is it?" 🙃⏰

Nothing beats the feeling of opening a book to mark it and seeing legible writing. 💯

@Grade1Rose They definitely love seeing their names in the word problems - it's a great trick to engage them!

Out of all the life skills, cooking is my favourite to teach (along with emotional regulation). Knowing how to cook 👨‍🍳 makes an individual more independent, and - in my view - independence is a factor of happiness.

Contrary to popular belief, children can actually learn to love reading. And the best news is, you don't even have to be an educator to use these simple tricks! 😎

What does Love mean to 4-8 year old kids? A thread…

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, 'What does love mean?' The answers they got were broader, deeper, and more profound than anyone could have ever imagined!

Neurodiverse students will grow up to be neurodiverse adults who have to work and navigate in a neurotypical world. The school must teach them strategies for building their executive functioning skills!

@SazmatazW @vivschwarz @SchoolReading @_Reading_Rocks_ This is adorable! And what fantastic use of punctuation! 😃

@LollMcC Has she read "The Diary of a Killer Cat"? Hillarious book told from the cat's perspective. Offers amazing writing opportunities, too - diary entries, writing in character, humorous writing. Hope this helps! :)

Don't be tempted to dismiss the idea of reading with your child because they are already an avid reader. Reading with them is about closeness as much as it is about reading skills. ❤️

@MissOrmistonVPS They'll never forget this lesson. <3

[Christina K 👩‍🏫📚 @Christina_K8]

Comprehension and decoding are distinct strands of reading. Read aloud to your children so that they can explore, discuss and understand even if they can't decode confidently yet. #literacy

[SF Said @whatSFSaid]

There's a kind of magic that happens when adults read books aloud to kids. It's the kind of magic that changes lives forever, and will never, ever be forgotten. #literacy

[Christina K 👩‍🏫📚 @Christina_K8]

Not 'allowing' our children to feel angry won't make them stronger. But teaching them to recognise and address their emotions will. #MentalHealth
