Nonfiction read-alouds are essential for knowledge building in the early years. Instead of choosing books based on comprehension “strategies” @natwexler suggests teachers stick to a theme for 2-3 weeks to allow for lots of repetition of vocab & content. Next for us: dinosaurs!
Tonight the #CNTower will dim for five minutes at the top of each hour in memory of OPP Provincial Constable Grzegorz Pierzchala, who died in the line of duty
It is with an extremely heavy heart that I regretfully advise that #OPP Provincial Constable Grzegorz Pierzchala was killed today while courageously serving in the line of duty. Our hearts are with his loved ones and all OPP members at this tragic time. #HeroesInLife
I will have the fondest of memories of the staff, students and families at GPS. Despite challenges like a pandemic, it is the better highlights like the return of student sports, clubs, assemblies, laughter in the halls and growth that will remain in my heart. I will miss you.
😠Don't mess with the Oak Ridges Moraine. @fordnation If we start paving over (capping) the Moraine it can't replenish the aquifers. The Legislation for it + the Greenbelt were science based decisions, not economic. 250,000+ depend on the well water. 25+ rivers flow from here.
Tough time getting your kid into a snow suit this morning? Imagine the struggle, then, of kindergarten teachers everywhere. As a tribute, I present this video I shot of my son's class back in 2002.
Reading aloud doesn't teach kids to love reading. It teaches them to love books, stories, learning things, the intimacy of being read to...all that is wonderful, but it's not a love of *reading*.
If you want children to love reading, you have to teach them how to do it well.
