Reminiscing for Day 2 of the Love of Reading challenge. Babysitters Club and Booky were just two of my many childhood favourites #TVDSBLiteracy @TVDSBLiteracy

A day late, but in my TBR pile for The Love of Reading challenge is a thriller and an anticipated read coming at the end of the month #TVDSBLiteracy @TVDSBLiteracy

EDUCATORS and LIBRARIANS! Want to greet your new students with new books?! I’ve got about 120 elementary and Middle Grade books to give away—half here, half on Instagram. To enter to win half here: follow me and RT this tweet. Bonus entry: tag a pal who may want to enter too!

@HSolway I have done something similar when teaching 4/5 and with grade 7/8 geography. They turned out great and the kids loved it!!!

Love this idea!! How about your kiddos make their own National Geographic for Kids magazine as an authentic purpose for writing informational text. For #TVDSB, we’ve got dzns of mentor texts on the #SoraApp #Overdrive Bravo @burnsmelissa1

@LRobertson_21 Congrats!

New Twitter handle as yesterday was my last day in the @mountsfieldps LLC. Grateful to PLN of incredible TL's who've taught/inspired me over the last 5 yrs. Excited to start new role with Mental Health - Well Being team #TVDSB. Let the new learning begin.

@MelizzaBenenati Thank you! Tell them I said hi!

@Sweetzshell @FDRooseveltPS Kaitlyn and Aiden say he's so cute. Congratulations Ms. Sweetzir

Happy to announce that this little guy finally made his appearance on Sunday. He’s now resting after his first day of online school, meeting some @FDRooseveltPS students!

#ONSchoolLibraries #ShareyourLLC Book tastings and book clubs have been two favourites in the LLC @FDRooseveltPS!

@msksousa @FDRooseveltPS Welcome to FDR!!!

⭐️ I’m excited to finally announce that, I’m officially a Permanent Contract teacher at @FDRooseveltPS teaching 6/7. Can’t wait for this new adventure! Go Falcons! ⭐️

We miss you!

@erinmutch @VansittartEEC @LdnEEC @JaffaEEC Hi Erin, they are describing the habitats and explaining why the habitat is a good place for that animal to live. The plan is to turn it into a class video using Adobe Spark.

@VansittartEEC @LdnEEC @JaffaEEC this is a great extension to suggest for ‘back at school’ using photographs taken at the centres and student drawings of wildlife they saw/imagined. @Sweetzshell would you share your writing task? I’d trade you a nice book for it!

Our grade four habitat art (based on The Owl and The Lemming) turned out amazing! Now onto the writing piece! @FDRooseveltPS

I love how motivated these two readers have been!

@TL_Tryon @FDRooseveltPS They write down why they think they would like the book (or why they wouldn’t). They then write down their top choices and I sort out who starts with what book to keep things fair. It works out well!

@Sweetzshell @FDRooseveltPS I love a good book tasting event! I would be interested to see what kinds of observations you have students recording :)

Kicking off the new year with our annual Forest of Reading book tasting @FDRooseveltPS!

Always love looking back at all the books I’ve read in a year! Check out #MyYearInBooks @goodreads to see the 126 books I read in 2019! goodreads.com/user/year_in_b…

Working on comprehension strategies in our book groups in grade 6/7! @FDRooseveltPS @The_MattV

Had a great time sharing our love of books today! Can’t wait to do it again with the juniors and intermediates when our Forest of Reading books arrive! @FDRooseveltPS

I’ve been excited to read this book for awhile now and it completely lived up to expectations! Can’t wait to hear what the kids think!

@WSPS_Library Love it!

Working on my new Mrs Dix currently reading and recently read display. Thank you ⁦@Sweetzshell⁩ for the inspiration. Students like to hear/see book recommendations and the display also models my love of reading!
