With the help of my Gr. 4/5 Ss, I have learned so much about technology. The past few days they have shown me how to share my screen so I could use Mathies to model fractions and answer questions. Thank you to this small group for a great morning meeting!

What to do on a snowy Saturday? Get comfy with some tea and enjoy a few more OAME sessions. Even my loveable cat enjoyed a few! Thank you to the organizers amd presenters. I have enjoyed many sessions and learned so much over the past few days! #oame2020

Thank you @MrBinfield and @MarkChubb3 for an amazing presentation about Noticing and Wondering. Using an asset lens, listening to and supporting Ss math thinking, and asking questions are really powerful assessment tools. Loved this webinar! #OAME2020

Learning from home. Thank you #OAME2020 and @GLewisOCT. Very informative and thought provoking. I am feeling so inspired and looking forward to more sessions.

@b_l_stone @GEDSB @GLewisOCT @LindaDeVos5 I watched this too! Very thought provoking and inspiring

@GEDSB an important consideration when planning for math... “Does the activity promote learning or promote performance?” @GLewisOCT @LindaDeVos5 #OAME2020

@b_l_stone @GEDSB @OAMEcounts I just registered!

@GEDSB I'm registered and ready to attend @OAMEcounts virtually! Who else plans to do some learning from the comfort of their home? #OAME2020

Making different paper airplanes today. Planning, testing, and retrying has made for a fun afternoon for our family. Thank you #bhnSTEMathome for the activity! @TrinaDewaele

@RothwellMrs I actually found a youtube channel called touropia. It is taking me on vacations to different parts of the world right in my own living room. It is only the top ten sights/places to see and is quick but hey why not! Makes me smile😊

Public education is under attack not just in Ontario but all across Canada. Today we join with teachers and education workers as part of the @CTFFCE day of action to say public education matters. We proudly wear #RedForEd, join us! #educhat #CutsHurtKids

#StarExclusive: “Do not increase class sizes” and forget about e-learning were the two main messages for the Ford government from more than 7,000 public submissions during consultations, according to Ontario’s own summaries obtained by the Star. @krushowy: torstar.co/GwO150yy82m

To the LPS student parliament... A job well done presenting your play to show the meaning of inclusion. To all the Ss who wore pink... thank you! The sea of pink was so amazing to see!💗 @Principal_LPS #PinkShirtDay2020

Writing compliments to each other on pink tshirt templates. Just a special way to greet each other on this pink tshirt day morning. @Principal_LPS

@LindaDeVos5 @GEDSB I found these activities online and tweaked them to support the math learning that we have worked on in class. Ss had to solve 4 problems in different strands to "escape". The Ss were engaged and have asked me to create another escape room challenge.

Would love to know more about a math escape room @ReeseTrac #achievement in math can be both purposeful & fun @GEDSB

We had such a great afternoon! We celebrated Valentine's day by eating some candy and working in teams to solve a math escape room. Ss worked on solving problems involving multiplying, area, and geometry. It is so amazing to hear math is fun! @Principal_LPS

@msasully @CobblestoneES @GEDSB This is one of the best games! Always love what you do to engage and build understanding with your students.

Back to the effective guide today to continue to develop students knowledge and understanding of decimals @CobblestoneES @GEDSB

@RothwellMrs No these are non standard way of measuring. When they measure they see the angle get larger or smaller compared to the orange pattern block. I did take some of this lesson from the effective guides.

Using square tools, pattern blocks and deci blocks to explore angles. So rewarding when Ss make connections and determine the right angle is a benchmark when measuring other angles.
