Louder for those in the back!

I came across this wonderful #BFSkinner quote on FB this morning. It got me thinking a lot about the conversations I have while supporting literacy goals and programs across the #TVDSB. We teach kids…not books. We teach skills/strategies, not texts. How can we help you? 📚

I haven’t tweeted in a while. Needed a social media break. But this I just have to share Springbank Library Learning Commons used lettuce from our tower garden to make lettuce wraps with our kindies. It was joyful, it was awesome! Thames Valley DSB @TVDSBSafeSchool

STEM cases added for gr7-10 to the Sharepoint site: these are set up for asynchronous remote learning, with assessment built-in. A recording of today's session on Scientific Inquiry in remote learning is also loaded here: tvdsbo365.sharepoint.com/teams/ScienceK…

Did you know that Thames Valley DSB students have access to digital books and magazines? Check out the titles at soraapp.com/library/tvdsbca . Staff keep your eyes open for the LSS Memo arriving today for more instructions.

Thinking of everyone I know who is giving more than possible. I see you!

When we care for others, we manifest an inner strength despite any difficulties we face. Our own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to us. Reaching beyond our own problems and taking care of others, we gain confidence, courage and a greater sense of calm.

After a Looong weekend, a change of plans was needed! Today grade 1s got to explore the keyboards! So much joy in the room - I needed that as much as they did! Holly Powell MEd Springbank PS Thames Valley DSB #musicsoothesthesoul

Being pulled to cover unfilled absences when you love your TL position so much can be challenging. This was just what I needed! Thank you to Ms. Westra’s class for your thoughtful words! #schoolLibrarianDay #tvdsbllc
