This week in teacher fits! It was a great first week of school.

Joy is necessary for learning.

Happy first day of school!!!!

Adults at school, Some of our kids' only chance to see an adult smile at them is when they are with you. Smiles are free. Give them freely. Give them often. Give them to everyone.

I’ve been on the labeled aggressive side.

This!

@rhondahewer @wrdsb I’ve said this before if smaller classes work better than of course small group instruction within our classes works. And truthfully it works for all Ss at all learning levels. Well done to your team.

@MissGTeach @wrdsb Thanks @MissGTeach we really dig into using #smallgroupinstruction, tools and representations, deliberate practice and math conversations to support Ss who require more learning on grade level curriculum (tier2) and Ss with missed learning in previous curriculum (tier3)

2 days of discussions + 12 #mathfacilitators + 18 elementary math teachers + 229 sticky notes = revised math long range plan scope and sequence for primary, 3/4, junior and intermediate that embed a @WRDSB tiered approach in math #mtbos #onted #wrdsbmath4all #iteachmath

Sometimes you gotta know when to just leave the door closed and keep moving

Schools out for the summer! Many highs and way too many lows. But one thing will always remain true is my passion and love for learning and growing with students. Despite all the negative things said I hold on to these memories where I was cherished and valued. 🖤

This!!!!!

This is a can’t miss series.

Not enough people realize this.

Today @RohanRobinson11 and I took our @WexfordPS_TDSB #BlackStudentsAssociation downtown to the TD Centre. The students got to go on the trading floor and meet Black financial professionals. It was an amazing day of possibilities for the students. #RepresentationMatters

@wonderoom I need this book.

One of my passions is also teaching language arts, which I didn’t get to do this year. But I’m looking forward to the next school year where I get to do some magic! Morpheme magic! Woo hoo!

Professor Gloria Ladson-Billings explains to 60 Minutes how an encouraging teacher can change a life. The University of Wisconsin academic has studied how to best teach Black students. cbsn.ws/3WLWcqn

This! @tch4theculture dropping gems.

Spending today with my BSA students at Black Brilliance. @tdsb @tdsb_cebsa @africentricwcci

Out of all the things you can get from J. Cole and his apology to Kendrick Lamar, please take away that we should all PROTECT OUR PEACE.
