@missashleydoug @LesleyIAllison some ways to put them to good use.
Looking for some maths activities connected to what children have at home? You might want to consider pop-its. Some ideas to get you started in the current issue of @PrimeNumber_MAV @10001angela @mminas8 @tobyrusso @helenjwc @kath_cartwright @Corovie researchgate.net/publication…
And yet our government continues to undervalue nurses and doctors. Suggesting a rollback after a pandemic and having beds close. Plus rural hospitals can't even find doctors and are closing the ER.

Parents and teachers are just asking to be included and for the government to be transparent. beta.ctvnews.ca/local/edmont…

Great article! Micro aggressions have a huge impact on our marginalized students. Be an #ally and speak up!
"My daughter believed she had all the information she needed when the teacher remained silent. Therein lies the problem. When educators are silent about racism, marginalized students assume the educator is comfortable with the status quo." @ValeriaBrownEdu

Some great books listed here. I'm starting book clubs next year and have some of the MG ones on my list.
Mailed our student created postcards across Canada today for our postcard exchange. We have already received 2 from Ontario and 1 from Manitoba. Ss love learning about other communities. #canExchange @CanExchange @MTGPCSD

Grade 6 loved the cozy socks. They didn't even want to take them off. Perfect end to our cold week!! @MTGPCSD #jumpstart #redsocks
We went on an angle hunt in the school to find angles in real life. Ss shared what they found on @Seesaw. @MTGPCSD @LesleyIAllison
Practicing our math vocabulary with math headbands. It was a hit!! @LesleyIAllison @smichellehair the students made the cards in groups the day before.

Thanks @stephmackay07 for taking us!!! We all loved it.
@MTGPCSD had a fabulous day at the Wapiti Nordic Centre learning about forests. We ate blueberries, built forts and found some amazing blue fungi and enjoyed the sights and sounds. The highlight was a most epic game of Capture the Flag. Thanks @Brittan34268177 @kdmousez and Bev!

I love @Seesaw so much! Just finished my refresh ambassador training and can't wait to share the new creative tools with the teachers at my school! My Ss loved them when we gave them a go in June! Plus, finding and creating activities for grade 6! #gettingreadyforseptember

I'm sure going to miss these 20 amazing kids over the summer. We had an a awesome year in grade 3/4. So bittersweet to pass them along to a new teacher. New adventures for me in grade 6 next year. #wishmeluck #SummerVibes @MTGPCSD

Had an amazing day at track and field yesterday. The students all had a great time and the weather cooperated too!! @MTGPCSD @GPCSD
@NicholeGerein This is like the #marchbookmadness I did but teacher PD edition. Super cool. Relevant articles for our PD connection.
A4 As a principal it’s super important for me to model this for staff so they feel safe and encouraged to do it w/ kids. Our #MarchMadnessPD was one time I tried to really give them some relevant and rigorous PD that was an authentic learning experience for them #LeadLAP
