It was one thing when my son crashed my press conference a month or so ago, but this... Now is not the time to travel. Stay home - and by that, I mean your own home.

I know masks have become a partisan issue — but it’s a patriotic act. Experts say wearing a mask from now until April will save more than 50,000 lives.

The Social Life of Forests Honestly one of the best articles I've read all year. You can listen to audio version too! https://t.co/eqeVRxomod

For America’s educators, this is a great day: You’re going to have one of your own in the White House, and Jill is going to make a great First Lady.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

America, I’m honored that you have chosen me to lead our great country.

The work ahead of us will be hard, but I promise you this: I will be a President for all Americans — whether you voted for me or not.

I will keep the faith that you have placed in me.

So good

I don’t know who did this, but take a bow

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

So ridiculous. Donald must work on his Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Donald, Chill!

Great!

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

More than 100 million Americans have already cast a ballot in this election. Joel, Monica, and Andrés are three of them — and I got to FaceTime with them before they voted.

Join them and get out there and vote today.

Students in #IB #PYP program display better wellbeing. Wonder if MYP and DP studies would reveal similar results? https://t.co/rn2rSxbTxY

It is with heavy hearts that we announce Sir Ken Robinson died peacefully yesterday, 21st August 2020, surrounded by family after a short battle with cancer.

We will be following up with a further update as we begin to follow Sir Ken’s wishes and honour his legacy.

Flashback to the classroom. Thanks @N_McLellan_ for the Socratic Seminar advice and support. Fantastic discussions on whether globalisation is a good or bad thing. Especially with current global events #SAISrocks

[Justin Trudeau @JustinTrudeau]

It’s okay to feel anxious or stressed. And it’s okay to have tough days. But you need to know that you’re not alone. So if you’re having a tough time, please reach out - to your friends, to your family, or to resources like @KidsHelpPhone. And together we’ll get through this.

[Peter Barrett @peter_barrett2]

Gearing up to trial #onlinelearning at #SAISrocks. I have spent the day exploring @Flipgrid and @Screencastify to prepare. Main takeaways: follow the KISS principle (Keep It Simple Stupid) to get started. Everyone is busy, tired and stressed enough at the moment.

[Peter Barrett @peter_barrett2]

Careers day for G6 students. Learning about many types of jobs at #singaporezoo. Engaging, informative and interesting #saisrocks #education

Today we read like social scientists in humanities. S's deconstructed graphs & visual representations and made inferences & interpreted information. We put all of that together and told stories using migratory graphs. High engagement levels & great wonderings stemmed from this!
