@STFPresident this is important! You have the membership’s support to make change. Please be strong!

Teachers need to remember that they voted for a strong contract. Teachers need to remind each other that the government is in no position to do much. They are in dire straits.L and teachers need to stay strong.

Anybody else super frustrated by the lead story this morning on CTV that notes that school divisions releasing their new budgets say they DON’T have enough money to address class size and complexity? WHY did they sign the MFA? This is exactly why teachers struck this year!

Let’s talk the Teacher Innovation fund the @SaskParty keeps boasting about. Here are all the approved projects. How many of these grants would benefit all schools? Most of them. A regulation space, PD finding, math manipulatives… we all need these things. 1/7

Thanks, @trudykeil! We did some marking, too. If you’ve helped send nearly 400,000 emails (and counting) to government through Tell Them Tuesday, you may have received this new form letter response from @jeremycockrill. We’re going to need a new red pen.

@heymrsbond With music! Song lyrics are a great source. The students love signing along to their favourites and then hashing out what the writer was thinking and why. I also use Pixar shorts. They’re perfect because they are wordless. Many have great themes!

Thank you Mrs. Hassler for creating a special learning experience for all of our students on the importance of water for National Indigenous Peoples Day. @IHES_Colts @PrairieValleySD

@RegPublicSchool Wow! Duncan says this is about wages??? That couldn’t be farther from the truth! Class size and complexity are the biggest drivers. Perhaps Duncan needs some comprehension strategy instruction so he actually understands issues facing teachers in classrooms🤬. Fund our schools!

“Premier Moe said more funding is coming, specifically to address enrolment pressures in Regina and Saskatoon classrooms… "We're going to work as expeditiously as we can, but we need to sit down and continue to work alongside the school divisions."” cbc.ca/news/canada/sa…

My personal account was hacked. After months of trying, a reply led me to morph this into my personal account. Apparently the powers that be were “unable to verify you as the account owner…and can’t assist further.” Really? Did they even try? Do better Twitter! 🙄🤔🤬

@ErinPletz And they are amazing together!

Highly recommend for any middle years or high school literacy teachers to take! Two of my favourite authors!

@TonyBaldwin36 @PrairieValleySD Welcome all!

You didn’t have as much fun today at work as I did! New Teacher Induction at @PrairieValleySD - #ThisisUs

@byrnesa @PrairieValleySD @MrALongstaff @RMievre @sullivanclass @Skmiddleyears That’s definitely the cool kids crowd!

@PrairieValleySD grade 8 teachers unite for a day of planning and collaboration @MrALongstaff @RMievre @sullivanclass @Skmiddleyears

@Leadingwithhsd @STFLearning @usask @thecrescentsyqr @RegPublicSchool One of the best learning experiences I’ve ever participated in. I’ve been involved twice and will definitely do it again. Enjoy!

Looking forward to this course! @STFLearning @usask @thecrescentsyqr @RegPublicSchool

@IHES_Colts @RCL_DC @PrairieValleySD So happy to have learned alongside you this year, April!

We are so proud of one of our Colts, who received first place, in The Royal Canadian Legion’s Poster Contests, at the National level!!! 🥇🎉 This contest helps foster the tradition of Remembrance amongst Canadians. Thx @RCL_DC for presenting this award!

To say I’m #PVSDproud of this student is an understatement! She was persistent, focused, and invested the time and energy required to create a beautiful and thoughtful piece of art. A huge thanks to @RoyalCdnLegion for promoting #remembrance and sponsoring the contest!

Today many of our students took part in the Moose Hide Campaign Walk to help end violence against women and children.

We are super lucky to be spending time today with our school #socialworker Jeanine Hackl learning how to manage stress and #anxiety We all have anxiety… name it, tame it, and be kind to yourself and others. #PVSDisKind

@MilestoneCougs Congrats!!! Enjoy!

This morning we enjoyed a storytelling presentation about the night sky with Wilfred Buck. The presentation was based on his book “Tipiskawi Kosik”. A huge thank you to Sarah Ballard from @treatyeducation Alliance for the invite.

@ErinPletz You too!

Wishing everyone a restful break! #PVSDproud
