Prizes are ready for today’s Toonie Drop! Grade 5/6 with Ms. Young took on the challenge of organizing our fundraising efforts for Toonie Tuesday in support of TVEF’s Caring Fund. #toonietuesday #TVDSBcares

@missmurrayedu @HicksonPS Woohoo!! Congratulations Celina, those are lucky kids! 👩🏼‍🏫

Here’s your reminder that #AdaptedPE doesn’t always have to be fancy to be effective. Sometimes it’s using what you can find🎳 Sometimes it’s being patient & waiting 43 secs for a S to accomplish a task. But always, ALWAYS, it’s worth it. That small movement is a huge success🥹👏🏼

I LOVE using the @UFLiteracy lessons paired with @TVDSBslp resources for literacy tutoring. ❤️📖

Reviewing words that start with /y/ during a tutoring session… with a little growth mindset mixed in!

This deserves repeating. Anyone engaged in education MUST listen to this podcast series by @ehanford: https://t.co/1326GWY83x. It angers me that politics got in the way of reform. The result? Thousands upon thousands of children were not taught how to read. #AllForLiteracy

If you're caught up on Sold a Story and want more, we've collected our previous podcast episodes and articles about reading here: https://t.co/SS5NWkfLwI

It started in 2017 w/ a reporting project about why kids with dyslexia have a hard time getting the help they need in school.

I support my CUPE colleagues.

In my board that includes Educational Assistants, Custodians & Secretaries, as well as Early Childhood Educators who partner with teachers like me in Kindergarten classrooms.

Our schools can’t run without them. They deserve a fair deal.

Teacher friends: Watch this! Save this to watch again and share, share, share! I would recommend this for k-2 classrooms (not just K), if you have children with LDs in your classroom (you do) or if you are teaching ELLs to read! https://t.co/1k3ooxVr0W

No Educational Assistant should have to work at an extra job on the weekend and evenings in order to pay their rent.

The people who work with the most vulnerable children in #OntEd should not have to rely on the food bank to eat.

I’m not sure why this is controversial.

It makes me nervous to see more funding for tutors without knowing how they will all be trained/deployed.

I have recommended this FREE, low-prep, science-aligned resource to many tutors who are working on foundational reading skills with kids:

@ShayAndersonMrs Absolutely! I bought this one - https://t.co/k2cTfpLZaj - I was struggling to find passages with /or/ and liked this. :)

[Ms. Holdsworth @MsHoldsworth1]

It’s been great to see reading confidence build using decodable texts!

[Ms. Holdsworth @MsHoldsworth1]

@SkyeFord3 Beautiful!!

[Ms. Holdsworth @MsHoldsworth1]

Switched up our Say it/Chop it/Write it routine to include chalk on a beautiful night! I am so grateful for all of the @tvdsbslp instructional routines and resources that align with the SOR!

[Skye Bowen @HealthyMsB1]

Shout out to all the EA’s out there who go way above and beyond their roles to support students. Our schools could not run without you! Now… can we talk about how they are significantly underpaid? Let’s be better and do better to support EA’s! ❤️

[Ms. Holdsworth @MsHoldsworth1]

@mrs_sjack @zorrahighland @tvdsbslp Love it!!
