Outdoor learning is a viable option here as well. Investments being made to prepare our K-7 schools for re-entry should look to provision outdoor classrooms for regular and sustained use going forward. #sd38learn #bced https://t.co/WsHa1iqlvL

I strongly encourage my teaching colleagues to read this article 👍 It is full of sensible recommendations, and resources for prioritizing play, as we navigate what a continuity of learning might look like for our students. #sd38learn #bced

As many of my fellow BC teaching colleagues head back to "work" tomorrow I've gone through some of my previous home learning plans to share some ideas for K-3 teachers or parents. https://t.co/Bc1r6zhNvF #bced #sd36learn #vsblearn #1stchat #2ndchat #3rdchat #kinderchat

@NadineMcSpadden @Vendram1n @Barkerjbarker @PacHeights36 @Desmos @Surrey_Schools I haven’t been on Twitter in forever with my new little girl around-but WOW! Jenn, this is so well articulated and I am so inspired by your level of thoughtfulness and intention. I miss learning with you!

[Shannon Howlett @Shannonpainter2]

@Vendram1n @Surrey_Schools @PacHeights36 @jordantinney @lreeve36 @skc99 This is so exciting! Thanks for sharing.

@OpalSchool Opal has transformed the way I view and practice documentation. I now understand the relationship between documenting conversations, reflection, and planning. This helped me to see how our learning could be more connected from one day to the next. @keshuto @lindalradford

@jnovakowski38 @Barkerjbarker @noiie_bc I can only imagine how good it was @Barkerjbarker! We are so lucky to have you!

[Shannon Howlett @Shannonpainter2]

@KLirenman I am so glad we connected! It was such an enjoyable time together.

[Shannon Howlett @Shannonpainter2]

@TeacherTrish_U @deltasd37 You are so inspiring, Trish!

Children live their lives at school. Do they have voice, choice and the right to their own culture as children or are they constantly imposed upon by adult values and teacher expectations? #earlyyears

[Shannon Howlett @Shannonpainter2]

@Nachbarclass @Nachbardiv8 Love this, Anna! You are brilliant. How many pages is it? We just had one printed and it was very expensive, but it could be because of the length.

[Deanna McLennan Ph.D @McLennan1977]

It’s amazing the #Math conversation that occurs naturally in playful #outdoor activities like raking leaves - how big is the pile? How many leaves are in it? How long will it take to rake the yard? How high do we have to jump to cross it? #MTBoS #joyfulmath

[Shannon Howlett @Shannonpainter2]

@Vendram1n @Surrey_Schools We are so excited about this!

[Shannon Howlett @Shannonpainter2]

https://t.co/8E0jUU58xz we are in the process of making our own now that we know which trees live around our pond.

[Shannon Howlett @Shannonpainter2]

What kind of trees live and grow at our pond? Connecting to our pond through identification and knowledge of our trees. Thank you @anniekinders for the inspiration to look closely at our leaves to help us notice, sort and identify.

[Shannon Howlett @Shannonpainter2]

@b_matson36 That’s such wonderful news Barbara! I believe there will be info coming out about the first session very soon!

[Shannon Howlett @Shannonpainter2]

Come explore your image of the child and how it guides your practice. It will be a great opportunity to connect and carry conversation over into next year.
