"It came without worksheets,
It came without tears,
It came without rules and all of the fears,
What if math, he thought, doesn’t feel like a chore?
What if math, perhaps, means just a little bit more?"

History is a great subject to learn, because it’s so objective.

@MsTaylor_SWG @SWGGators @BookCameo This was a great addition to our virtual graduation ceremony! My students were really excited to see him :)

Online students require my full attention. In person students also require my full attention. I cannot possibly teach and meet the needs of both groups at the same time. Our students deserve better than the hybrid model. #NoHybrid #HybridHurtsKids @PeelSchools @ETFOPeel

This video is absolutely perfect - give it a watch. After more than a year of teaching fully online, I can’t wait for the day that we can all go back in person and back to the NOISE of middle school! @SirWilliamGage @TrevorMuir https://t.co/1bGP2ByOrT

Grade 8s watched a fantastic presentation by David Suzuki this afternoon! Great messages about the critical role young people play in ensuring a better future for our planet, and the importance of humanity reinserting itself into the global ecosystem @SirWilliamGage

Got a 2.4 GPA my first semester in college. Thought maybe I wasn’t cut out for engineering. Today I’ve landed two spacecraft on Mars, and am now designing one for the Moon.

STEM is hard for everyone. Grades ultimately aren’t what matter. Curiosity and perseverance matter.

Diverse representation in the computer science field is so important for our students to see! Having coding in our math curriculum is one step towards making sure CS is accessible to everyone.

Only 3% of Black students learn computer science in high school or beyond. Please watch and share this video. Inspire a student. Together we can change the face of computer science. #BlackVoicesForCS

SO powerful! Thank you @orlandobowen for sharing your story and encouraging our students to #ChooseACTION to be anti-racist. One voice, one team! @SirWilliamGage @PeelSchools

You’re never too old to build a snowman! My online grade 8s enjoyed playing outside in the snow for DPA this afternoon. Here are a few of their creations @SirWilliamGage @PeelSchools

@MrsBell721 @PriyanshiChoksi @snoopsidhu @KavishDesai11 Haha my class keeps saying they will teach me. Maybe I should take them up on it one of these days!

[Samantha Stubbs @Ms_Stubbs1]

My class made this great tribute about what Terry Fox means to them. Great work 8SS!

[LisaMonteith @LisaMonteith150]

Reflections before our Gators support the Terry Fox Walk, both online and on-site...this coming Friday...What his legacy means to some of our grade 8 students... ❤️ @TrusteeMcDonald @gurshbudwal @MrHarrisVP @mllewoodall @ethommyedu @NadiaGoode

[Samantha Stubbs @Ms_Stubbs1]

Happy Thanksgiving weekend! Yesterday 8SS made a word cloud using @Mentimeter to share what we are thankful for. Personally, I am thankful to have such an amazing group of students. They have been rockstars with this transition online! @SirWilliamGage @PeelSchools

[Samantha Stubbs @Ms_Stubbs1]

@MrsBell721 I completely agree! It’s a steep learning curve.

[Samantha Stubbs @Ms_Stubbs1]

@MrsBell721 I did 6 breakout rooms today but with Google Meets. “Chaos” is the best word I have to describe it but we made it work 😂 Are you online now?!
