I’ll be on @metromorning tomorrow at 7:10am to discuss the Ontario government’s announcement of a financial literacy graduation requirement & the math proficiency test for new teachers.
I’ll probably pose more questions than give answers, but I’ll share my two cents.
I have a student who for the last 9 wks has done almost no work, and when I say hello he gives me the head nod or a mumble. But I say hi everyday. Last week he looked me in the eye said hi Ms Kaval, asked me for makeup work and did really well on the final. 1/2

Welcome back to a new school year! I was welcomed into my new school and new role so warmly by both staff and students. I hope your first two days were just as welcoming.

This made me smile! I was going to ask for his name, but saw in the comments it was the one and only Dr. Shah. He calls my son each year also! So special!! 💕
Table Ball is so much fun to play. Combines the activities of tennis, volleyball & ping pong. If you have tables, it’s a must add to your curriculum! #physed
Gr. 6 had an excellent trip to the McMaster Planetarium to explore space. We also loved the learning we did at the McMaster Nuclear Reactor. Check out how we tested “clean” on our way out. No one was left behind for decontamination. 😉 Thank you to our guides. @RidgemountHwdsb
We’ve been engaging in math inquiry using strategies from Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics for a couple months now. The kids love vertical surfaces and especially writing on the windows!! This engagement method sticks.
Saving this for a future math “What do you notice?” I’m not so great with the tv references, but can definitely think math when I see this.
