It’s Tamil Heritage Month! I created a Virtual/Hybrid Lesson about the Thai Pongal Festival last year. Feel free to use! 🌾 #TamilHeritageMonth #Pongal2022

All students need is a deck of cards:

BLACK HISTORY is CANADIAN HISTORY! We've worked tirelessly to bring you BLK: An Origin Story. From Nova Scotia, Ontario, Vancouver, and Montreal, this docu-series is going to show you a Canada you have never seen before. Watch the premiere on #HISTORY on February 26 at 9PM ET/PT

Inspired by our read aloud, HendersonAveHawks SK/1s participated in a tower building challenge using materials they could find around them. Ss explored what building materials were the best and successfully problem solved! 👏🏻 Pinkalicious & Peterrific

I’m hearing of some school boards continuing with remote learning due to continued snow accumulation… if you’re an educator in one of these boards here’s a folder that may help with your prep: drive.google.com/drive/folders/… #OntEd #snowmageddon #Snowmicron

Looking for a quick lesson idea whenever being remote? I’ve found that retelling stories can be quite fun! SK/1s read the classic 3 little pigs story (w/ some voice acting), made a graphic organizer to practice retelling, & then acted it out w/ our stuffies! HendersonAveHawks

We love combining treats and Math! #handsonmath #seniorkindergarten #grade1

Using anti-2SLGBTQ+ speak is NEVER ok. No matter who the audience is, this language is hurtful, dangerous and has no place online or in person. Let's make this negative language a thing of the past. When you see it used, call it out. #NoNameCallingWeek #InspirePrideYRDSB

Hybrid teaching - Just because it has a name doesn’t mean it’s effective or even possible. It’s like calling texting and driving hybrid driving. Just drive!

Lunar New Year is next week!🐯In the past, I’ve done themed centres based after readings done a week prior: 1.Create your own dragon dance mask 2.Retell the zodiac story using props 3.Story sequencing 4.Write a postcard to a friend about how you celebrate your favorite holiday.

Eva Mireles and Irma Garcia were two of the greatest teachers Uvalde, TX has ever known. Their classroom was full of fun, growth, giggles, teamwork, and, most of all, love. Their legacy will live in the hearts of our community forever. #uvaldestrong

My most favorite email from last week. I told my student I’d like an “easy to take care of” class pet -which was my way of nicely saying no. Now I’m tempted to give in and get one of these… 🥰 #classpet

Meet our Ancient Greek puppets as we explore mythology & plays for social studies! Definitely recommend having students reenact a scene from a play as so many skills are being practiced with just this one activity!

Anyone already planning for next year? 👋 Here are some simple strategies—for elementary to high school students—to ensure that everyone in the classroom feels like they belong. edutopia.org/article/10-pow…

Storyboarding can be a fun and engaging way for students to demonstrate their understanding of a topic. It's also a great way to incorporate visual and artistic elements into the learning process. #history #differentiation #sixthgrade

I have a large number of ESL students in my class and cannot express how amazing the Google translate app is! You can translate text, speech, and even images in real-time, making it convenient. It's like having a personal translator in your pocket! See examples from today:

Always helpful to know Day 1: what shape best fits each students personality 🔵🔺🟧〽️ (And then QUITE a conversation when they see "what their shape could mean" and get a chance to talk about those descriptions 😂)

Try this fun collaborative group activity! 🖊️ Tape 4 pieces of yarn around a marker, have each student hold onto a piece of string, and attempt to write a word together. It's a great way to build teamwork, coordination, and creativity! #Teamwork #CreativeLearning #FunActivities
