Draw to remember! Research shows that drawing boosts learning by forcing us to process information in multiple ways: visually, kinesthetically, and linguistically.

We played the ecosystem game we created IN the forest that we based our game on!

How do you think your students would respond to the question "There are 125 sheep and five dogs in a flock. How old is the shepherd?" Watch how 32 eighth graders I interviewed responded. robertkaplinsky.com/how-old-is-the…

Geeking out with my learners. May the 4th be with you! @VSB39

The 90% model of assessment helps us stay grounded in assessment that matters, that honours each learner, & that supports growth and next steps. The time we have with students is a gift, not a constraint. How we spend this time is a reflection of what we value. #inquirymindset

@Roger_CaFo 👍 How about only the visible dots? What’s your strategy?

@MmeSevie If there are 35 dice... 21*35? ;-)

« Dozens of Dice » task from Mindset Mathematics. Great to see students’ different strategies and hearing their explanations. Proud of my mathematicians. @EcoleJQ Thank you @joboaler

How many dots are there? How did you count them?

@LetsTalkScience We planted our seeds today! 🍅 🚀 scientist 🧑‍🔬 @EcoleJQ

Learners are loving the Boomwhackers! So far, we can play Ode to Joy and The Banana Boat Song! @EcoleJQ

Instead of taping a multiplication chart to the desks of elementary students tape this beautiful image from @MathforLove Let’s have them think like mathematicians! #edchat #mathchat

We learned about Reggie Laurent, a modern art painter. He often works on black canvas, painting organic shapes and squiggles! Check out how he inspired us! @EcoleJQ

Teaching is not “activity facilitation”. So much (Bad) teaching is just assigning a big task that gives the impression of learning, but the students are really just busy. (Good) teaching involves Modeling, practice, and feedback, which never look as cute as a fancy activity.

Speaking with Kids About Truth and Reconciliation is an online course that includes thoughtful, practical, and developmentally-appropriate approaches for you to engage and have conversations with the children and young people in your life. bit.ly/3Xw2x5Q

Sweet, messy learning… Grade 3 learners made Lego Rice Krispies! A yummy way to explore many mathematical concepts! 🧑‍🍳 🧮 @EcoleJQ
