@DanScholtzWCDSB On the list! What they're realizing is that my red wings are not having a great season... So depending on your fav team, don't take the results too personally.

[Matt Figueiredo @mrfigmrfig]

Making math real! Using our knowledge of 2 variable data, averages, etc., to build fantasy hockey teams. Is there a relationship between NHL skaters' points and penalty minutes? Can we build a team with high points and penalty minutes, or a close ratio? We shall see!

Working towards filming our commercials! We worked on using persuasive words and phrases, camera angles, advertising techniques, and more! These huge projects allow for so much creativity and exploration and of media. Here are some text samples that made me giggle.

I matter.
What I say matters.
What I do matters.
I belong.

Thanks for spreading the positive vibes today @OriginalRoland. We learned a lot about pivoting and getting back up, no matter the obstacles. Positive mindsets clearly go far. Come back to @svdptiger soon!

[Matt Figueiredo @mrfigmrfig]

What a week! Thank you @VickiOlatundun and Karen from @WRSPC for your msgs of standing up for others and taking care of ourselves/peers. We also reflected on how we can adjust and make space for everyone. Students had brilliant and empathetic ideas! #unlearn #WCDSBAwesome

Thank you @MonDoyleCSS arts dept for sharing your beautiful musical and dramatic gifts with us today! @svdptiger students loved it!

[Matt Figueiredo @mrfigmrfig]

I'll always be grateful to Paul for letting us get on stage so often and try to get better each time. Some of the best memories of university were in that old, smelly building. Thanks @maxwellsmusic. So amazing to see how it's grown!

[Matt Figueiredo @mrfigmrfig]

It's honestly hard to put into words the impact of Maxwell's! Can't believe it's been 14 years. Nothing prepares you for teaching like getting in front of an audience of people who did not always come to see you, but you need to convince them you're worth their time.

[Maxwell's Waterloo @maxwellsmusic]

Surprise! Maxwell's has actually been around this long! Did any of our followers visit our first location 2008-2014? #MyTwitterAnniversary

[Matt Figueiredo @mrfigmrfig]

Thanks for the scrabble challenge this morning, Hertner's class! We had a blast.

It is all about growth and these girls show it in spades. I'm so proud to be one of their coaches. And coaching alongside some wonderful educators is just the cherry on top of this delicious sundae.

[Michelle Evans @Mrs_evans6]

Congratulations to the girls basketball on their playoff win tonight!! They have committed to improving as athletes and it shows! @svdptiger @mrfigmrfig @MrsMonteiro09 @WCDSBAthletics

[Matt Figueiredo @mrfigmrfig]

From enjoying the beautiful weather, to showing our learning of ecosystems, then getting dramatic all over the classroom, the 7/8s @svdptiger have been filling their days with learning and growth. Proud of their hard work and grit!!

[Mrs. Beamer @MrsBeamer6]

Yesterday the staff @svdptiger played against the SVDP baseball teams in a friendly game. There were lots of laughs and even a few great plays by both teams. It was a great way to bring our community together and enjoy our beautiful October weather! @WCDSBAthletics

The way the sun hits the bags under my eyes is truly magical this time of year. #ArtImitatesLife

@Health4LifeKDM I wish I could like this tweet more than once. Congrats!

[Matt Figueiredo @mrfigmrfig]

@MsWMcKinley @stannephoenix Count me in with this! I've been thinking about getting it started at @svdptiger with rocket league, but would love to know what hardware is being used... (and how to persuade McKinley to buy it for us...)
