🎶I’m in my room, it’s a typical Tuesday night,
Mom’s going off about something Facebook likes…

And then she proceeds to formally attack the Oxford comma!

Thank you @MeikaSlota and the @StMartinLondon grade 7/8 student helpers for the BEST @HeartandStroke Jump Rope 4 Heart event! We had so much fun and Miss Zimmerman is going to sleep like a baby tonight! Freezie cheers to a great day!

Check out this low-fi little reading review game!! We used a piece of paper, some markers, a few peg dolls, and a word list inspired by the “VCe” (vowel, consonant, silent e) spelling pattern!

Every part was co-created in a partnership between kids and adults❤️

@thismomloves @acadience Love your spreadsheet! Did you create it yourself? I made my own but it’s not nearly as sleek as yours 🤩

[Alison Zimmerman @MissAliZim]

@HeatherPais woohoo!! So exciting to hear you on @CBCLondon this morning! Go Canada!! 🇨🇦

So very proud of these little leaders. Our Advent mass today was a reminder that we are preparing our hearts to celebrate Jesus’ birth. 💜

@kim_phair 0/10. Would not recommend. 🤒

[Alison Zimmerman @MissAliZim]

God of Hope,
Awaken our hearts
To you this Advent season
And fill our hearts
With hopeful anticipation
Of your coming
So that when Jesus arrives,
We are ready to receive Him
In our hearts and minds.
Amen 💜

Educators, parents, and anyone who cares about young children…
Listen to this.
Small humans are capable of reading.
Here is the important part: make sure your school/ your child’s classroom/ school board philosophy aligns with the Science of Reading.

@MmeLockhartLDSB Hi Kim! I would love to know where I can find more information about the LIFT grant. Could you send me a DM? Thank you!

[Alison Zimmerman @MissAliZim]

@kim_phair She is a wonderful woman 🫶🏻

“No thank you!” - words of every primary teacher acknowledging undesirable student behaviour.

… clearly this strategy doesn’t work with foster kittens. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[Alison Zimmerman @MissAliZim]

By day… I teach small humans at school.
By night… I teach small kittens in my ensuite bathroom 😹
Foster kittens looking for their forever homes. Could that be YOU?!

@StaceyRickman @thismomloves … aaaaaand I just bought the full set of those resources. They are so cute! And such good practice!
