Using my privilege to disturb oppressive practices. Blessed by a year, as Teacher Librarian, learning and collaborating with James Grieve community.

Serious question: People who are recommending books written in the 1990s to 12-year-olds, were you reading 30 year old books when you were that age? Aside from my dabbling in Montgomery and Weber, I wasn't reading books written during WWII in middle school.

Tanzania, Chad, and Ethiopia are so much more that the poverty-stricken images that dominate these picture books; weeding books is important work because our marginalized students deserve better representation @PDSB_Libraries #representationmatters

Student-led drop-in coding club feels just right @JamesGrievePS , the authentic learning and teaching between students is the REAL DEAL! #coding #studentsfirst @PDSB_Libraries

Treasures from the LLC @JamesGrievePS are things like this Gr. 2 student-authored book. Student 'M' delivered it to me with pride! #inspirereaders @PDSB_Libraries

@JamesGrievePS Grade 2/3 problem-solving of @TheGlobalGoals #largestlesson included: stop "over population because too much people causes pollution," "don't waste food and water," "save the land and animals." Seerat, Nathaniel and Akinola know what to do to save the environment.

Another young scholar @JamesGrievePS named Matthew plans to create a tool that "can find a way to make oil [waste] into material [for vehicles]" Brilliant reflection of @TheGlobalGoals #largestlesson

[D. Payne @DPaynePDSB]

@JamesGrievePS Grade 2/3 co-teaching included thoughts of future innovators. Aarav says "...when construction happens, I want them to think about nature and not [just] money" @TheGlobalGoals #largestlesson @BrandonPachan

Technology Playground @JamesGrievePS was a success; student-led event offers engagement and builds capacity #EML #bettertogether @MmeCoulson @Pam_P2002 thank you!

[D. Payne @DPaynePDSB]

@MaiSGutman I have walked that path as well, history must not be allowed to repeat itself against any group.

Intermediate coverage @JamesGrievePS turned into teamwork, problem-solving, and puzzle making! #matheveryday @PDSB_Libraries @BrandonPachan

In 1990, Dr. Rudine Bishop, OSU prof. of edu, wrote: “when there are enough books available that can act as both mirrors and windows for all our children, they can see that we can celebrate our differences and our similarities, because together they are what make us all human.”

@JamesGrievePS coding is a necessity for future work force needs; Ontario must fund schools with the tools needed to support this learning. #codingthefuture @PDSB_Libraries
