@JustinTrudeau@JustinTrudeau what about providing federal per student funding for each immigrant pre k to grade 12 student in addition to provincial level $. This would help with the huge stress on teachers, class complexity, and would assist in funding necessary resources and infrastructure.
🤯WOW! How exciting is it that Son-au-graphe has released 50 lessons of the French adaptation of UFLI?
Bravo 💖 This is so amazing as we head into a new school year!

@RCSD_No81@TheSixShifts book chat discussing comprehension. Biggest lean in for me is rooted in my love of linguistics. Reading is an oral language experience. We convert all we read to oral language in our brains. We have to be able to talk about it to understand it! 👇🏻

“Conversation is the most meaningful way for readers to connect to the text and one another in a culture of literacy…because oral language is the bedrock of literacy, be sure to include conversation as another level of engagement and extension, scaffolded through questions.” (Ness, 2024. P.37).
Making connections between these two fabulous books, Read Alouds, by Molly Ness and Strive-For-Five conversations by @SoniaCabell.
Bookmarks can help scaffold meaningful, open-ended questions before, during and after a read aloud! Check out these terrific bookmarks created by SLP @MelindaHinch for more ideas…

Walking with my @SaskTeachersFed colleagues🩵 looked down to see this in the grass! (Goose poop and all!) Yes I picked it up with my bare hands😂teachers can do anything! Even the geese are leaving teachers messages of encouragement 🪿@PremierScottMoe@jeremycockrill#WeAreSTF
This lies squarely at the feet of @PremierScottMoe and @jeremycockrill.
Teachers are burning out. Government refuses to discuss critical issues while openly disrespecting teachers and the profession. We offered a way out of the impasse; they rejected it. It's on them now.
Why would anyone refuse this? If you’ve been honest, transparent, fair, honourable and operated with integrity then WALK YOUR WALK! TALK YOUR TALK! Nothing to fear! @SaskTeachersFed is waiting for you @PremierScottMoe@jeremycockrill ⚖️
@SassyLassie72@SaskTeachersFed@PremierScottMoe@jeremycockrill Second verse 😂
Wonder this time where he's gone☀️Wonder if he's gone to stay☀️
Ain't Moe sunshine when he's gone☀️And this Leg just ain't no home☀️To the students and teachers they betray
