An easy holiday invitation that incorporates #math and loose parts!

Hearing @MiriamBeloglovs (or as some may know as the #loosepartslady) at the #NAEYC2022 was a HUGE professional highlight for me. My fire for advocating for #play in ALL classrooms was relit. I wish everyone could hear her speak. 🙏🏼 – at Washington, DC
“Intellectual Waste”. Wow. That is so powerful when we think about the amount of “stuff” and “clutter” have in our classrooms that can add to overstimulating the brains of teachers and students. #homesweetclassroom #unclutteredclassrooms #beautifullearningenvironments – at Red Deer, Alberta
Weekly Inspiration: Clearing "Waste" from Classrooms
"Reducing physical, time, and intellectual waste
from teachers’ lines of vision allows them to focus on the students in front of them."

Visiting classrooms and seeing #qualityteaching in action is the best part of my job. Mrs B’s Pre-K class in Blackfalds is an especially wonderful place for both adults and children to learn and grow. @IRECPreK @IREC1 – at Red Deer, Alberta
😈🍝Yeti in My Spaghetti Game🍝😈 Turn taking with a friend as we remove a piece of spaghetti from the bowl, without making the yeti fall! Such a fun way to grow #SocialSkills & friendship skills as we play in #PreK! @IREC1 @mrspaolinelli

With young children at home, there’s always cleaning to be done. Chores can engage everyone in the household in a little “math all around us” problem-solving.

Today I made #WitchesBrew in @MsS_IRECKinders classroom. Sorting, fine motor practice, number recognition and counting to 5, language development and imaginary play—the real brew here is how much learning is being stirred up all at once here.🎃 #qualityteaching #kinder #halloween

Non-Indigenous people: please remember that September 30th isn’t a day of celebration or joy for us. For many of us, it’s a day that reminds us of loss and is a day of mourning and remembrance. Please remember this when smiling with your friends for a pic in your orange shirts.
Miss Kristin @krdeAndrade at @TerraceRidgeSch displays these gorgeous pictures of her students along with their NAME & ONE WORD that their parents have chosen to describe them. This simple addition is #qualityteaching that can be done at ANY age/grade & has many benefits.
1. Creates a sense of belonging for students and a reminder that their classroom is THEIR space.
2. Belonging creates a feeling of safety, easing anxiety and helping the teacher to build a trusting relationship
3.Helpful visual for substitute teachers and classroom visitors
👩🏫🧑🏫Things that Teachers Love:
📚A GOOD BOOK paired with a FUN activity.
Names matter and are such a big part of building community, creating relationships and building confidence. #Kindergarten #septemberthings #elementaryschool #childrensbook #creatingsafety #classroomroutines
Today we read the book That's Not My Name - each student got to say their name to their classmates to ensure we are all saying them correctly. Respecting our uniqueness. We then recognized which Capital our name should go under - spelling out their name to us. #Kindergarten
Happy #LabourDayWeekend! #Educators, as we start the #2022schoolyear, let’s remember to meet our students where they are at—developmentally, emotionally and academically! #september2022 #earlychildhood #school #teachingideas #BeKindAlways #teachwithkindness #playbasedlearning
#bekind out there, guys. You never know what people are going through and who just dropped their kid off for their first day of #kindergarten. 😭😭

If you are an educator and do ANYTHING today, listen to Episode 44 of Amanda Morgan’s @NotJustCute podcast. Sally Haughey of #fairydustteaching is simply the best, always reminding us as educators to respect the wonder and experience of childhood.
Still feeling SO INSPIRED by the #earlylearning classrooms at @MacEwanU after attending #PedagogicalPathways with @KaceyOehlerking last week. We saw incredible classrooms, met passionate early educators & saw the incredible value of Vivid Storytelling.
