Congratulations to Jill Lazarus on organizing an awesome OAME 2017 Learning Conference...all of Valour is proud...@RCDSB

Wellness Wednesdays...we always start with a Class Dojo video classdojo.com in order to build our classroom community...this week was about the learning dip and how perseverance helps to move us forward @RCDSB

Of course for me...feeling good is all about the socks...

One thing I've realized since using VNPS in building a thinking classroom is how I had been underestimating the time students need to fully complete a problem...think time is so important @RCDSB

"I wasn't going to come to school today but I didn't want to miss Wednesday's Class Dojo" (ideas.classdojo.com)... students demonstrating Mindful movements @RCDSB

Last period Friday MFM1P, we were all tired, "Class you can use the VNPS in your VRG to complete today's task or quietly work at your desk"...everybody chose to work in groups at the whiteboards..."Why would we do this alone on paper?" I was told #DecktheHalls #RCDSBMath

A 1P activity I've used for years...design a logo then create a proportional enlargement and reduction of the logo...using VNPS and VRG the overall engagement was higher than ever before #yougottagiveitatry #DeckTheHalls #RCDSBMath

You mean this stuff actually works!!! ...Owen explains how he won a big jar of M & M chocolates on the weekend using his math skills #DecktheHalls #RCDSBMath

Ms. Gen's 3U class is rocking the VNPS... #DeckTheHalls #RCDSBMath
