Hey @SirWilliamGage Gators! Remember to watch and vote for the talent show! And check out the teacher entry - a virtual water fight! youtube.com/watch?v=6jUNO7…

Here we go - day 1 of PD learning about Brightspace! As a big Google user, I’m looking forward to learning more about this alternate virtual learning space #Peel21st #PeelEML

Some things to remember as we get ready to start this new school year, still full of questions and unknowns. Remember to be kind.

Happy first day of school to our online gators! @SirWilliamGage Peel District School Board I can’t wait to “meet” my new grade 8s! It’s going to be a great year 🎉

Happy Thanksgiving weekend! Yesterday 8SS made a word cloud using Mentimeter to share what we are thankful for. Personally, I am thankful to have such an amazing group of students. They have been rockstars with this transition online! @SirWilliamGage Peel District School Board

My class made this great tribute about what Terry Fox means to them. Great work 8SS!

Attention @SirWilliamGage gators! The Forest of Reading nominations are out and Red Maple has some fantastic sounding books this year! I can’t wait to check them out. Which one do you want to read first?

Grade 8s, remember to research any programs that you’re interested in and discuss them with your family. Applications open November 9th!

You’re never too old to build a snowman! My online grade 8s enjoyed playing outside in the snow for DPA this afternoon. Here are a few of their creations @SirWilliamGage Peel District School Board

SO powerful! Thank you Orlando Bowen for sharing your story and encouraging our students to #ChooseACTION to be anti-racist. One voice, one team! @SirWilliamGage Peel District School Board

Head up, Grade 8s!

Diverse representation in the computer science field is so important for our students to see! Having coding in our math curriculum is one step towards making sure CS is accessible to everyone.

Got a 2.4 GPA my first semester in college. Thought maybe I wasn’t cut out for engineering. Today I’ve landed two spacecraft on Mars, and am now designing one for the Moon. STEM is hard for everyone. Grades ultimately aren’t what matter. Curiosity and perseverance matter.

Grade 8s watched a fantastic presentation by David Suzuki this afternoon! Great messages about the critical role young people play in ensuring a better future for our planet, and the importance of humanity reinserting itself into the global ecosystem @SirWilliamGage

This video is absolutely perfect - give it a watch. After more than a year of teaching fully online, I can’t wait for the day that we can all go back in person and back to the NOISE of middle school! @SirWilliamGage Trevor Muir m.youtube.com/watch?v=0nrzDd…

Online students require my full attention. In person students also require my full attention. I cannot possibly teach and meet the needs of both groups at the same time. Our students deserve better than the hybrid model. #NoHybrid #HybridHurtsKids Peel District School Board ETFO Peel
