My dad was self-employed. For over 30 years, his major contract was with CT here in BC (the PASL days) & we were always in stores with him. Dad passed away in 2018 but CT is synonymous with my dad for me. I still have some of his CT cash! #CanadianTire100#CT100Memory#Contest
We all know how smell can trigger the best memories. So, to celebrate our 100th year, we did what many have been asking for. We’ve created a candle with our distinctive and memorable Canada’s Store scent. Yes. This is real. 🕯🍁😍
The most important thing I’ve learned from #onlinelearning?
Say yes.
“Can I email my work tomorrow?”
“Yes.”
“Can I make a castle in @Minecraft?”
“Yes.”
“Can I work with another student on this?”
“Yes.”
Covid-19 might tell us no.
I can & will say yes to students.
@DrBradJohnson It’s 8:40 pm on a Saturday night and I’ve spent the last three hours prepping my lessons for the week and messaging with students about a project. I’ll do my once-every-ten-days trip to the grocery store when I damn well please.
@mmeplayer @mscsmith3 @fournier422 @mrsmaion@Surrey_Schools Seen/heard today:
- kids stopping to read notes
- kids wearing notes
- was asked: “Are you the one doing the notes? I had one on my locker, it was nice.”
- one of my Hum kids asked me @ lunch: “Do we get to do the stickies this afternoon?” A big “Yay!” when I said yes!
Be a rainbow in someone else’s cloud! 4 lunch periods, tutorial time, & half a block of work went into this Grade 8 created bulletin board for #PinkShirtDay2020! So proud of the kids who volunteered their time to create a positive message for our school! #ltslearns#sd36learn
@mmeplayer I really enjoyed today! Mostly I just sat back, listened, and let them take control. They really embraced the activity and there were excellent ideas bandied about!
Renegotiating the Treaty of Versailles in History 12. Wowed by the prep work these students did, the depth of their arguments, and the seriousness they have brought to the task. #History12#sd36learn#ltslearns @mmeplayer
My students were SO VERY EXCITED to find out that @se4realhinton had seen my tweet about them that they wanted to say hello. So a happy hello to @se4realhinton from my grade 8 students at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary in Surrey, BC!
#TheOutsiders#StayGold
20 years of teaching and I’m still delighted to share #TheOutsiders by @se4realhinton with my students.
Its core themes remain relatable and accessible even after 50 years. Teenagers LOVE this book and I love their reactions to it.

I loved #TheOutsiders when I was 13. But I I love it more now. Getting to experience it through my students’ eyes year after year renews and enriches my love. Many thanks to @se4realhinton for this gift.
