Super excited to be a part of the #wrdsbsubscriptionbox PD! Thanks to all of you for putting this together! @Linds_ODonoghue @sestanjones @jane852001 @rhondahewer @apples4theteach @wrdsb #wrdsbR3

I am receiving a disturbing amount of emails from teachers in the DDSB. They're afraid to speak out. I don't want to put any teacher at risk of reprimand or worse but banning The Great Bear is the tip of the iceberg. It’s unconscionable conduct by supposed leaders. /1

Grade 3/4s were so excited to be the first class from @TaitPS to head out on a field trip! Thank you @N8ureNate and @outdoor_ed for this opportunity! #getoutside @wrdsb

Excited for this to arrive in time for some March break reading. Looking forward to discussing this with @wrdsb colleagues! @apples4theteach @MrsO_bekind

European countries are opening their borders to displaced Ukrainians, revealing a racial disparity in refugee treatment: youtu.be/sgHQknJnuRk

Thought you’d appreciate this @BriTeaches! 😂

Enjoying my first course in the @QueensEduc PME program! This last module had us create our curriculum philosophy, so thought I'd give it a share here! (I love @canva!) #lifelonglearner

RT @Dean_of_math What if our rubrics were wheels instead of linear progressions that give the impression of learning coming to an end? A colleague brought me this idea and I can’t stop thinking about it. #CodeBreaker

Gr 3/4 @wrdsb Ss are hooked on coding! It’s been so great to see such high engagement! (Happy I was able to remember some of your #Beebot ideas @MsKash22!)

When we work hard for something we don't believe in, it's called stress. When we work hard for something we love, it's called passion.

@Lindsbinds621 "put your mask on" 😑

Fellow educators, in honor of the 100th day of school tomorrow what is something you’ve had to say at least 100 times this year?

We are honoured to have local anti-racism educator @selamdebs as a guest writer on our children's blog this month. Selam shares with us the importance of talking to children about anti-racism and Black liberation. Read the full post here: bit.ly/3guLVZ4 #KWAwesome

@LearnBitesized @pgliljedahl Ooh..excited to see this!

@MrsLAbel2021 @silwrdsb @ms_cmiranda Thanks for sharing! I thought I'd pass along this folder of posters that was shared by the Black Teachers Association of Alberta on Instagram. They've shared an entire folder with posters of influential Black Canadians drive.google.com/drive/folders/…

Celebrating Black History Month and introducing biography writing! We are so excited to learn about all these wonderful people #blackhistorymonth #BHM #biographywriting #choosingwhotheywanttolearnabout @silwrdsb @ms_cmiranda

@MrsLAbel2021 @silwrdsb @ms_cmiranda Would love to use this with my 3/4s @TaitPS

@MrsLAbel2021 @silwrdsb @ms_cmiranda I love this! Did you create it yourself? Would you be willing to share?

Hey! Look! Did you see that massively huge convoy of health workers who has gone in to work each & every day to provide healthcare for vulnerable people amidst staffing shortages, snowstorms & a raging pandemic? Yeah...shoutout to that convoy. That convoy is the best. 🙌🏾

This was the first time on snowshoes or building a quinzee for many of these @TaitPS Grade 3/4s. Thanks @N8ureNate for the awesome outdoor adventure! We'd love to have you back!

If someone finds the strength to open up to you today… listen, and love. That’s what we need, non-judgemental listening, and unconditional loving. ❤️ #BellLetsTalk
