PSA: 📣

[Mrs. Keay 🇨🇦 @MrsKeay]

Farley wanted me to remind everyone on this beautiful Friday to be kind, patient, and open-hearted. You never know someone’s story and your smile today could make a world of difference. #BeKind

[Heather Jefkins @MrsJsJrVoters]

@AllisonM @HTheijsmeijer The one on the right side is probably my spirit animal based on its body language! 🤣

Students have been focused on #DesktopPublishing this week. By using #EditingAndRevisingTips and the tools in #GoogleDocs they have been able to create professional looking writing pieces to share with their peers. #Creativity+ #Collaboration + #Techonolgy = #Success! #21C

[Heather Jefkins @MrsJsJrVoters]

We tried more @MummsSprouting seeds this week. The Garlic-Chive variety take longer to sprout, but are well worth the effort. My students are given the option to #TryNewFoods. They ate the whole plateful, one sample at a time! #LearningOutsideTheBox #ScienceMatters #TasteTesters

Our @MummsSprouting Seeds did just that... SPROUTED! We were amazed at how many sprouts grew from 2 Tbsp of the #SpicyLentilCrunch mix!! Yum-Yum-Yummy! #LearningOutsideTheBox. #DeliciousScience #TasteTestKids #HealthyEating

[Heather Jefkins @MrsJsJrVoters]

This week we’ve been excited to start growing our @MummsSprouting seeds in the classroom. Science discussions take on a different tone when you’re getting a chance to #GrowYourOwnSnack We ❤️#LearningOutsideTheBox #TastyTreatsToTry #HealthyFood

By giving students the opportunity to #play with #manipulatives, teachers encourage #creativity and #perseverance. The challenge was to create a recognizable shape. Can you see the unicorn, the little girl, two horses and a flower bed? I can! #Mathletes at work on a #SnowDay

[Heather Jefkins @MrsJsJrVoters]

Today my #Mathletes are exploring pattern blocks. Geometry and Spatial Sense lessons benefit from the ability to access #manipulatives. #HandsOnMath matters and helps students use #ProblemSolvingStrategies to solve 2-D puzzles!

[Heather Jefkins @MrsJsJrVoters]

When students can combine mathematical concepts with #HandsOn activities like #tangrams and plotting points on the #CartesianPlane to create shapes, they consolidate their understanding of #geometry. My #Mathletes are ALWAYS ready to expand their knowledge!

[Governor General of Canada @GGCanada]

We must never forget the atrocities of the Second World War, and the tragedy of the Holocaust. We must work together to stand up against racism, antisemitism and violence in all of its forms.

[Heather Jefkins @MrsJsJrVoters]

@NPayneEditor How the rise of nationalism and xenophobia gave rise to such overwhelming hate that tragedies like the holocaust took place, and how ordinary people (in Canada, and around the world) chose, in the face of overwhelming evil and a giant war machine, to stand up for democracy!

[Heather Jefkins @MrsJsJrVoters]

Tally Charts, Dice, Probability. #HandsOnMath is happening in our classroom today. My #AllStarMathletes are hard at work on #DataManagement concepts. #LearningHappensHere

[Governor General of Canada @GGCanada]

History is always relevant, particularly in today’s fast world. Congratulations to the recipients of the GG history awards. L'histoire est toujours pertinente, en particulier dans le monde rapide d'aujourd'hui. Félicitations aux récipiendaires du Prix d'histoire du GG.

[Heather Jefkins @MrsJsJrVoters]

Receiving my medal from Her Excellency was AMAZING!
Thank you @CanadasHistory for selecting me as a 2019 GGHA recipient! I have never felt so valued as a teacher! #ExcitedTeacher #CantStopSmiling #FibreArtsRocks

Heather did a great job today.

[drkdigital @drkdigital]

Engaging students with subjects about which you’re passionate. A sure way to pass on enthusiasm. From Heather Jefkins from Manitowaning, Ontario. #12histforum

[Nancy Payne @NPayneEditor]

I think @MrsJsJrVoters has inspired me to dig out my embroidery and needlepoint stuff. What a great way to connect with generations of Canadian women from my own family and beyond. @CanadasHistory #12histforum
