@ESL_fairy I did in Grade 9, also in Grade 10. It's a skill I still use today, and I'm nearly 60.

Yup.

@Theholisticpsyc Yes. I was betrayed quite suddenly one day three years ago. It was as if he turned into another person. I went through weeks of shock as you described, while I watched him pack up. He said I enjoyed being mopey.

Have you experienced betrayal. Lets talk about it in the comments....

Betrayal trauma feels like the wind has been knocked out of us. Hope To Cope When Someone Betrays You:

@howie_hua I thought 32 x 10 is 320. 5 is half of 10 so half of 320 is 160. 320 + 160 = 480.

It's Mental Math Monday! What goes on in your head when you're mentally calculating 32×15?

@Theholisticpsyc Do you need to have a fairy tale relationship? I’d chased that dream and settled, twice, feeling secure yet disappointed. I’m over it.

@howie_hua There are 12 30s in 360 (12x30=360). There are two 15s in each 30. So 2 x 12 = 24.

It's Mental Math Monday! How would you mentally calculate how many 15s there are in 360?

@MikeJToronto It was already there. If I'm not mistaken, it was in the presentation section of the writing expectations.

Cursive a part of new language curriculum, coming in Sept. Thoughts? 🤔 #onted cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

@howie_hua The difference between 24 and 35 is 11. 124 - 24 - 11 = 89.

It's Mental Math Monday! How would you mentally calculate 124-35?

@howie_hua Circuitous... but if 20 cookies is $36, then 10 cookies will be $18 (36/2). That makes each cookie $1.80 (18/10). Six times $1 = $6. 6 x $0.80 is $4.80 (using 6x8=48). $6 + $4.80 = $10.80

It's Mental Math Monday! If 20 cookies cost $36, how would you mentally calculate the cost of 6 cookies?

@Theholisticpsyc I was just thinking about being invisible... and deferring to others in relationships. As one of six, the others acted out, or were lost themselves. I appeared to be good, so I was targeted by jealous siblings.

The lost child is usually: - very quiet, shy, or introverted - highly intelligent - highly sensitive - distant from the families chaos or issues - spends a lot of time alone in their room - gets little attention from parent figures - most obedient

If you were the 'lost child' you were easy and quiet. You learned to just blend in and cause no issues. Here's Why:

@thesandrashamas This should be shared widely.

Brilliant!

@Theholisticpsyc 2 Questions: do you write the same four sentences every day for 30 days? I don’t think people are mad. I think they don’t like me or won’t like me once they know me. Is this hyper vigilance?

You feel like everyone is mad or upset with you. You can't relax in your own skin. A 30 Day Guide To Healing Hypervigilance:

@Theholisticpsyc My hypervigilance is still with me. But at least now I recognize when it's impacting my thoughts.

You’re safe. No one is mad at you. You can stop assuming. You’re not that small child in trouble, who can’t relax. The hypervigilance is from your past. You’re safe, now.

@MrsHipgrave @CBCKidsNews @HighlandHtsPS Nice work, Mrs Hipgrave!

Such a treat to meet with the @CBCKidsNews team! We discussed current events, examined examples of fake news, & learned the steps required to produce a news story. I think we have some budding journalists in grade 5! @HighlandHtsPS #NewsInTheClassroom

@lisadamps @ESL_fairy Just sit in a circle and talk about your feelings. This worried me. Were we doing triage for mental health services? Very uncomfortable with the potential consequences...

@ESL_fairy We got that half-day training that made us experts, now fully qualified to assess and support student mental health needs, remember? 🙄🙄

@Theholisticpsyc Getting lost in the other person's life. It's as though I don't think my world is 'good enough'.

What’s the thing you struggle most with in partnership?

@StephanieSartor @LimestoneDSB @LordStrath_LDSB This is the ESL team? Dream come true! Great to see so many former colleagues working to improve the lives of our additional language learners! Bravo, all!

Thx to the amazing ESL team ⁦@LimestoneDSB⁩ for hosting literacy night ⁦@LordStrath_LDSB⁩. Big thanks to Ali Baba Kingston 4 the delicious meal & so many community partners for attending! Everyone is welcome ⁦@LimestoneDSB⁩ ❤️

@Theholisticpsyc Just wondering about us introverts. Sometimes it seems like I'm supposed to embrace extroversion in order to heal. Can you address this?
