This $1 billion museum is now almost fully open.

It houses over 100,000 artifacts from ancient Egypt, including the complete Tutankhamun collection, and many pieces of which will be displayed for the first time.

I officially switched education boards in Sep. After nearly 10yrs with @tdsb working with so many wonderful educators+board staff I've moved to the @OCDSB . I'm loving my new role as a Spec Ed teacher in a fabulous board. I look forward to new experiences+ learning opportunities.

In less time than it takes me to walk the dog, fold a basket of laundry, or make lunches for my kids, I learned more about the reading process, word recognition skills and language comprehension than I did in my many years of teacher training.

Thank you @Suchmo83 for this phenomenal, succinct summary of the reading process and its multiple components. I will be sharing this in my next teacher-training course @VIUniversity so ALL teachers learn this before they graduate! Link: https://t.co/mb1yYil8V0

Thank you @MmeLockhartLDSB for posting this article about the importance of read alouds and also the importance of intentional planning for the read aloud to be most successful. What's your next read aloud? #readaloud #literacy #picturebooks

[Mme Lockhart @MmeLockhartLDS]

“The read-aloud increases vocabulary and background knowledge, which increases comprehension. And the better you can understand, the more likely you are to read, and it becomes this cycle, an upward spiral of a literary trajectory.” @drmollyness

I am on a #ReadAloud learning journey and stumbled across this fantastic @EdWeekTeacher article that perfectly complements my new book “Read Alouds for all Learners.”

I highly recommend reading this article AND the book!! https://t.co/nOLD8Iwgzl
