@DrKChilds Build your classroom management the first month. If you don't you will have a difficult year.

@joshtpm I dont lick my fingers in order to open the plastic fruit bags at the grocery store.

@bravenewmalden Happy birthday!

@edutopia When students yell, scream, spit... at you, they are not doing it to you. Don't take it personally. If you don't take it personally you are better equipped to help them deal with whatever they are going through.

@TheVilms Your patents are fantastic. I hope they are ok.

[Helen @HVCyr]

@KaliaChirag @OCT_OEEO @M_Mantha Yes and it was resolved in a couple of weeks.

[Helen @HVCyr]

What is on your wish list for a grade 1 class?

[Helen @HVCyr]

@OCT_OEEO Finally received my certification. Thank you Michael Mantha @M_Mantha for your support.

[Helen @HVCyr]

@OCT_OEEO I've phoned many times and waited for hours on hold--no one answers. I've emailed-- no response. There needs to be more support for teachers who want to be certified in Ontario. 17 years teaching experience and 6 months later still not certified.

@hedin_janis Train them in classroom management.

[Helen @HVCyr]

@OCT_OEEO I am taking the course now. It is excellent.

[Helen @HVCyr]

@TheVilms Thanks for breakfast!

[Helen @HVCyr]

@ASEBP Sleep, I need more of it. @ASEBP

[Helen @HVCyr]

@OCT_OEEO I am certified in Alberta and BC and have applied 6 months ago. I have emailed and called. No wonder there is a teacher shortage in Ontario @CBC

[Helen @HVCyr]

@msTKinTO It is a very long unnecessary delay to get certified in Ontario, even when you are certified in 2 other Canadian Provinces. They won't answer their phones. 6 months and counting.

[Helen @HVCyr]

@CBCNews How about certify teachers who have applied from outside the province. Its been 5 months and they don't answer their phone or respond to emails.

[Helen @HVCyr]

@TheVilms But in very cute holders.
