Some of the amazing inventions that came out of our Cardboard Challenge day! - marble run - hockey rink - a holiday TV. - vending machine #STEAM bltsenior

Our kids can’t wait for the adults in power figure out a solution for teacher shortages. They’re at risk and we’re at risk. A teachers job is much more than curriculum! #nspoli NS Teachers Union

The majority of my students need changes to their course for learning and language needs. They need so much, but I can’t help each person who wants it. I prep hours each evening and weekend, but I only get paid for 18 seconds per kid per day. Is 18 seconds enough for NS kids?

If a parent asks how they can help their child succeed in school, please start with the BASICS: •𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩…8-10 hours •𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐍𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧…must limit sugar •𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐦…let them fail without quickly trying to save them

Last day before our holiday break!! A healthy Mario Kart tournament happening in 5CA! bltsenior

5CA is back in STEM action! This time we are coming from Ancient Egypt where we learned how to make Papryus, communicate messages using hieroglyphs and mummify an apple!! #STEAM. #Ancientcivilizations bltsenior

When 5CA, 5Mcpherson and 5Smith all collaborate for a morning of geometry centers. 👏🏼🙌🏼. bltsenior
