Someone has to say it: Elon Musk has lied for 27 years about his credentials. He does not have a BS in Physics, or any technical field. Did not get into a PhD program. Dropped out in 1995 & was illegal. Later, investors quietly arranged a diploma - but not in science. 🧵1/

@stevemassie5 @MusingEducator @breakfasttv Because kids also went other places, unmasked 3x a day to have lunch and snack, rode the TTC and - this may surprise you - they aren't 100% on keeping the mask over their nose (although better than many adults)

Doctor offered me a flu shot and Covid bivalent booster on Monday. In the same arm. 0/10 do not recommend. It's Thursday and I can almost move my arm again.

Today's big question in Grade 1. Can something be Fiction and still be True? Wow. Let me think about that for a while and let's talk about it on Monday. #onted

Planning for an unfamiliar occasional teacher: reasons why I am still at work at almost 6pm.

Shout out to my teacher colleagues who just keep shoving the mess behind their desk until they can't sit down so the class space is clean and uncluttered. #oopsasupplyteacher #bettershiftthings

I used this task in class yesterday with 5th graders. There was struggle and confusion. Conclusion: provide more opportunities for confusion and teach what to do when your confused. Highly recommend! #thinkingclassroom @ddmeyer

Today we honoured the children who were denied the right of speaking and learning in their own language by writing “Every child matters”in our own languages #ChaqueEnfantCompte @tumpaneps @downsviewps @LC2_TDSB @marham99 @MizzBanhan

@StaplesCanada just sent me an email with codes good for 25 free photo prints and 25 pages of colour printing... so I guess if you're not signed up for their teacher perks, go sign up now?

@nadialhohn @ByBlacks @GroundwoodBooks @Ed_Scholastic And they are so universal in their themes. My newcomers, all from different parts of the world, could find something to relate to in Malaika.
Love these books so much!

@Ivriniel We're doing 6 til 7 with 20 minutes gathered and two 20 minute classroom sessions. A previous school did 7pm but also bought dinner for staff and made it a community building event.

@MmeLRT @mpalmer1073 Look! Look at my brilliant students' mathematical thinking!

Stephen Lecce has just mandated that all teachers have a B.Ed, lesson plans must contain planned lessons, tests have to assess learning, computers must be connected to the internet, floors must be on the ground, basketballs must bounce and water fountains have to provide water.

@CallMeJulius But make sure they don't feel betrayed or abandoned. And also please make sure that you maintain gender balance and if you could include their DRA scores, that would be great. We took your prep away today. #onted

Today in grade 1/2 I have uttered the phrase "there will be none of the gender essentialist nonsense in this learning community" three times. It is 9:27am.
