Great job team! Had a wonderful time presenting Connect2020 representing @DSBONE1 and Roland Michener. Looking forward to hearing presentations from colleagues and partners from across the country! Kirsten Elvestad Samantha Chin Andrea Blomberg

Great keynote to think about how innovation is in all of us, we just need to train our minds to get there. How many students need to practice being innovators? All of them; even us teachers! Also, thanks Jeremy Gutsche for horse/space shuttle connection. #putthatinmybackpocket

How to have an even more interesting afternoon at #CanConnect19 1) sit beside someone and realize you follow each other on Twitter, 2) find out said person is doing some pretty innovative things in classes that align with where you’re headed! Thanks for the chat Michael Drezek

So happy to teach in this program where student voice has such an influence on what we do!

Good luck RMSS Robotics Team!! Thanks KLDCS for hosting! Daniel Kurz Samantha Chin Andrea Blomberg Roland Michener @DSBONE1 #vexrobotics #thegreenhouse #lovethisspace

I’m looking at ditching the teacher desk in my room for next year. It has been recommended by Kirsten Elvestad to document the journey. I’d love to know, what form of creative documentation would you choose? #ditchthedesk #creative #grade8 @DSBONE1 Em Ban

Always fun out at the park! Ontario Parks Kettle Lakes PP

I'm comfortable giving the student who needed four attempts to demonstrate mastery of a skill the same grade as the student who only needed one attempt. 'If' a student learns is more important to me than 'when.'

Looking for one-word suggestions to challenge and help middle school students expand their vocabulary. The “Word of the Week” will be posted with the contributor’s name as encouragement to students. #ambitious #RMWordoftheWeek #thinkoutsidethebox #timminsON #canada

You know it’s time to have a break and enjoy the remaining few hours of your summer when... Please note: I even coloured it in before I noticed anything wrong. I’m not even sure where I was going with any of it. 🤣🤣🤣

We had such an amazing time on our hike last year and are looking forward to this year’s. Check it out if you can.

We had the opportunity to listen to Canadian astronaut Dr. Dave Williams speak to our school board today. He even answered some of the questions posed by our class. Dave Williams - AstroDaveMD #canadianhero #futureastronaut #grade7 #grade8 #awesome @DSBOnNorthEast

I have so many wonderful memories of this show. Mr. Dressup inspired creativity in generations of children, to which I also owe a great debt of gratitude to inspiring me as I grew up. ❤️ Thank you CBC for sharing!

Just ordered! I am so looking forward to reading it!

Today, my grade 7/8 class made a song request... for Paul Anka - Put your head on my shoulder, 😲 I might add with the preface “just make sure it’s clean first.” 🤣 THEN, they all started singing it!!! Me: What is happening right now?

Wow! Is all I can say. The grade 7/8s had so many great, justifiable, ideas for “What is Art?” I couldn’t keep up with writing their ideas. #ranoutofroom #whatisart #artlesson #artismath #maps #graffiti #spellingmistake #graffitiongraffiti #wow #theyaresocreative
