This "100 Positive Phone Calls" challenge is a hit among students and teachers, says AP @MHawley_3:
"Staff write down a brief summary of the positive call so that others can find that student to celebrate them too! When we reach 100, we have a staff celebration."

Are you wondering how to engage your students with #ChatGPT?
One of our grade six students wanted to prove that she could outsmart the AI! You can see that they found a simple mistake with the technology!

Today we introduced the RSX (Rembach Stock Exchange) each where students can manage their investment portfolio, in addition to saving with GICs and bonds.
In September, I developed a digital classroom currency where each student had their own debit cards and could earn "REMBUCKS" for class jobs, learning skills, and school leadership. They could also spend money on goods from our store or pay fines for late or incomplete work.
Many of my students have loved the weekly REMBUCKS SHOP, where they choose to either spend their money or lock their funds into GICs and Bonds. They have loved to see their money grow over time.
After reading Thirst by @varshabajaj with my grade six students, they shared that they loved the book and thought it would be a great Netflix show.
We decided to make our own Netflix page where each student created a Google Site to recommend a favourite book from this term.
Memories of waking up days after my cardiac arrest are sparse. Although, I do vividly recall asking my family (in writing, just like Hamlin) about an incredible girl I met that week.
That girl is now my wife and the mother of our beautiful boy.
Doctors said after Damar Hamlin awakened last night, he asked in writing who won the game. Doctors told him: โYes, you won. Youโve won the game of life.โ
As a way to integrate financial literacy year-round, I have introduced a new currency with my students called REMBUCKS. Students and families can track their expenses, salary, fines, and expenses with a QR-code embedded debit card.
Did you complete a class job? There's a bonus salary! Have you lost your pencil? Here's a new one for a fee! Did a Supply Teacher name you as a model student? Let me offer you a bonus!
After a few weeks of earning REMBUCKS, students will have options to save their money in their savings account for minimal 5% interest, lock their earnings into a 2-week GIC for 10%, or lock their money into a 4-week Rosedale Heights Bond for a generous 12%.
