Okay, but now I’d like to watch it with the “parkour” audio from The Office.

Let kids use their fingers for mathematics computations. Fingers are a tool.

In grade school, I remember singing with my class when at some point our teacher exclaimed, "Oooh, one of you has such a beautiful voice!" For years, I thought it was directed at me. I think every kid felt that way. And, I guess that was the point. Thank you, Mrs. S.

the first one is How Stories Connect Us: Richard van Camp & Friends (Fri, Sept 17, 7:00 p.m. EDT) Here, @richardvancamp and friends examine the storyteller’s role in community and society, and the transformative power of storytelling as an art form. eventbrite.ca/e/how-stories-…

I have to admit.. I’ve been absolutely exhausted with this start to the school year. However, today’s #myPITA2021 was refreshing & re-energizing, and I’m looking forward to bringing my learning back to my classroom. Tysm to MyPITA! 🎉

Inclusion is critical for science to move forward in meaningful ways. Join us as we explore how science, technology, engineering, and math were used by the Ojibwe people in the early period and how they continue to advance the fields of STEM today. youtu.be/XXbDk6vO_A8

Always a fun day at school 🎃 (and now to recover).

The words we choose to frame our ideas communicate more than just the words themselves.

I never would’ve thought that playdough/kinetic sand would be one of the most popular quiet activity choices with my 6/7s. I think sometimes we forget they’re still children who need opportunities for tactile exploration (even if some of them are almost 6’ tall!) #SelfReg

A fun #BackToSchool display at University Highlands: school/childhood pics of school staff!

Gr. 4/5 students learned about line and pattern with #Zentangles in art, and they’ve also added a new #MindfulPractice to their #SelfRegulation repertoire. University Highlands Burnaby Schools

Love this beautiful mural inspired by Chief Dan George’s poem, “My Heart Soars,” made by Ms. Cowans grade 3 class. University Highlands Burnaby Schools

Jeremy from Guts and Seeds just dropped off this great hawk-o-lantern at University Highlands! We love it, and the upper intermediates are looking forward to their carving sessions. Burnaby Schools

Today sts worked together to make “situpons.” These will be especially helpful for our outdoor gardening sessions! They’re woven mats made out of newspaper, and covered with a plastic bag to make them waterproof(ish). #Teamwork #ProblemSolving University Highlands Burnaby Schools

Great way to start my day with Tom Hierck at the #MyPITA conference. Always a good reminder that relationship is the antidote to stress—which goes for students AND colleagues. Building in routines to connect is vital for a healthy community. #PSADay2024

“You can do anything, but not everything.” Thank you @harveyjulianne! #Thriving #Balance #MyPITA #PSADay2024
