A2 Jen Hardie has constantly inspired me to think about teaching and learning in new and exciting ways and has been a HUGE support for me through a very challenging time in my life #PubPDasia

A4. Always grateful for colleagues that help me see things in a new way, challenge by beliefs and help me reflect on my practice. The reason I keep going is always for my students and trying to do and be better for them. #PubPDAsia

She was so proud of her work today and begged me to send this pic to her mom. I was so proud of her too!

Nothing says family bonding quite like a Covid quarantine! Hit me with your favorite indoor activities for a 3 and 8 year old please!

In toxic relationships, you're forced to choose between honesty and loyalty. You bite your tongue to protect their ego. In healthy relationships, honesty is an expression of loyalty. You speak your mind to help them grow. When you have real trust and respect, candor shows care.

It’s arrived! Ready and excited Catherine Bae

Experienced my first earthquake today. Happened in Indonesia but felt in parts of Malaysia. It was not strong as we are quite far away, but still a scary feeling.

Collecting books for our new multilingual lending library in grade 3. These two had a huge stash they were excited to donate!

Ready for #WorldBookDay he loves this book and can recite the whole story. I love when I’m reading and he corrects me if I skip a word. He has such a love for reading and books! ❤️

Woohoo! We are up and running our new G3 multilingual lending library. Thanks so much Cata Fern for taking this on with me!

Good morning, KL! This was a lovely way to start the day, after a very rainy yesterday.

Fun times playing 4square with this class at recess. They were inclusive, supportive and fair which made it fun for all!

Love that we can dress up together! Book character dress up day!

A2: 30 virtual/70 face to face. I love the accessibility of online PD, it’s opened up endless opportunities for learning and growth. However I miss the interactive/social aspect of face to face. #pubPDasia

Awesome co-teaching lesson with Jen Hardie! Hexagonal thinking to help consolidate learning about forces. Lots of great thinking and discussions. Happy teachers watching kids interact without plexiglass! Thanks Cult of Pedagogy for the link to fab resources!

Pretty excited these finally arrived!

Pretty psyched to spend the upcoming week getting into all the grades 2&3 classrooms to coteach with the homeroom teachers and learning resource teacher. Lesson focus: What is coteaching? and a better understanding of what it’s going to look like, sound like and feel like 😁

Great week co-teaching about co-teaching! Beginning the year with a common understanding for all of us (students and teachers) will hopefully set us all up for more success!

Looking for research on pros and cons of learning English while learning another new language simultaneously. For example, what is the impact on learning English if kids also learn Spanish or Mandarin at the same time?
