@LBPSB are you following the lead of the French boards on the West Island/Off-Island? Lots of questions are coming our way and we don’t know how to respond...

After 4 months of reading them Harry Potter & the Philosopher’s Stone, I was almost as excited to show them the movie as they were to watch it! Blankets & stuffies made it special for them; the way they pointed out all of the missing bits made it special for me. #iteachfourth

@MrArakaki This is so neat! But WHY does this work? Students need to understand why if it is to be math and not just a magic trick. @daphneddo @thestrokeofluck

“You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf” -John Kabat-Zinn: I love this quote, but we need resources, education & help from our community to learn. #lceeq2019 #resilience #cantdoitalone

Please watch the video. But more importantly- talk. Mental illness has carried a stigma for years and it’s so important to normalize so that people suffering seek out help, and so that help is available and accessible for people when they need it. #bellletstalk

Mrs Randle and I are so proud of all of our Bookworms, who competed in the first edition of the Montreal heat of the @kidslitquiz_ca . They were competitive, worked well in their teams, and some even volunteered at the event! Our hearts are bursting! #bookworms

[Mrs. Lamothe's Class @Lamothesfive]

Way to go, former @OurEdgewater Bookworms Talia, Leilani & Siddharth, for winning the regional heat of the @kidslitquiz_ca! Good luck to you and your teammate Riley as you head to the Canadian finals in Hamilton ON. We are so proud of you!

Drill & kill, timed tests... no thank you! This is how I believe math teaching should be approached. Trying to improve my teaching everyday. :) https://t.co/kTNL3ZpaLM

Stop telling kids you’re bad at math. You are spreading math anxiety ‘like a virus.’ - The Washington Post https://t.co/8idhuzeBzU

Using the fraction kits we made last week to explore equivalent fractions. @thestrokeofluck thank you so much for your guidance & inspiration. @LCEEQ thank you for bringing the best math PD to QC teachers!

[Mrs. Lamothe's Class @Lamothesfive]

As a teacher, as a parent, as a woman and a citizen, I ❤️this. Is this the best a man can get? The men of tomorrow are watching your actions. @Gillette thank you!! https://t.co/jDJEbTJ2q0

Word Nerd day activity: finding interesting synonyms for some common words. Next up: using @BookCreatorApp to make a personal thesaurus/ ���juicy word” book. #iteach5th #wordnerdday

[Mrs. Lamothe's Class @Lamothesfive]

Back to school tomorrow, and I am looking forward to seeing all my students tomorrow! I sure have missed those faces!

[Mrs. Lamothe's Class @Lamothesfive]

Happy Holidays from grade 5!

[Mrs. Lamothe's Class @Lamothesfive]

Ah! The quiet buzz of my Ss playing my fave math game-Yahtzee! Adding, multiplying, probability...& they think they’re just having fun. 😉 #iteachmath #iteachfifth @OurEdgewater #LBPSB

[Mrs. Lamothe's Class @Lamothesfive]

The Edgewater Bookworms has a fun morning sharing a snack & reading with the children at the daycare up the road! We are hoping to also arrange a springtime visit this year! @lbpsb #deeplearning

[Mrs. Lamothe's Class @Lamothesfive]

Grade 5 loves their Holiday Tree! It’s extra special because all of the books are new and after vacation they’ll be available for borrowing. They’re already picking which ones they want to read 1st. #lbpsb #iteachfifth #teachingkidstolovereading
