Kids in elementary are only with one teacher all day as compared to secondary? Good lord, many elementary kids see more teachers each day than secondary students. Don’t these folks know how schools actually work?
The Ford government is jeopardizing the safety of students, educators and all Ontarians by severely underfunding a safe return to school this September. Read our joint press release with @AEFO_ON_CA, @ETFOeducators, and @osstf below.
Strike action is difficult for everyone, but it is about protecting Ontario's world-class publicly funded education system over the long term. #CatholicTeachers are standing up for our students. https://t.co/MrOuMny0lH
I told the students that learning should be like a party- dance party that is! Learning how to skip count with a song and dance #d70raptors#d70shinyapple
So much yes! My goal for next school year is to get this going like I was able to for math last year! Love this style and the flexibility to work with kids based on THEIR needs
I like to bring graphic organizers to life! My Ss remember Venn diagrams better when we play a game where they have to roll a ball to the correct space. (They do also get a worksheet to copy down the answers.) #BFC530@teacher2teacher@edutopia
Even successful students struggle with prioritizing tasks & it's a key to college & employment success! @edutopia profiles this amazing teacher to show how she coaches students to become masters of this lifelong skill. What’s your frog?! #howlearninghappens#studentsuccess
The #LeveledLiteracyIntervention program is a great way to turn struggling readers into successful readers, and instill a love of reading. I'm so glad I've had the opportunity to see the program in action and see how much the students learn from it #closereading#whisperreading📚
Imagine spending all day on things you don't feel good at, then being expected to be engaged.
If we can let kids spend some time on what they feel good at, and some time to discover what they are passionate about, they will work harder to get better at their weaknesses.
My latest for @edutopia: a set of book recommendations from teachers for creating a more inclusive class or school library. Giving students book choices that represent the full range of human experience is impossible, but I gave it a try.

The temperature is getting colder outside and inside our classroom, as the grade 4 students expressed winter through acrostic poems and texture paintings. We learned that we can use other objects other than paint and a brush to make art...like our hands!❄️👋🏻@ConventGlenOCSB
The Grinch did not steal Christmas this time, instead these little grinches performed a lovely dance at the Christmas concert! It was so nice to see all of their hard work and practice come together @ConventGlenOCSB#BeCommunity 🎅🏼🎄
Today @ConventGlenOCSB had a gingerbread making day, where each class got to make and take home a lovely house. They all turned out so beautiful, it's a miracle that the candy made it on the houses 🍬
With only days left till Christmas, Santa🎅🏼asked our class for some help on a top secret math mission. We were able to learn about the tasks Santa has during Christmas while also practicing our math skills. Thanks @BFMteacher for this great resource!
Kindness is like a snowball, once you start it grows and grows into #kindnesssnowmen ☃️Each day we will unlink our advent chain and reveal an act of kindness we can do for someone else during the advent season @ConventGlenOCSB
