I’ll be on @metromorning tomorrow at 7:10am to discuss the Ontario government’s announcement of a financial literacy graduation requirement & the math proficiency test for new teachers. I’ll probably pose more questions than give answers, but I’ll share my two cents.

We never know all of what kids have going on. We may never know the extent of the positive impact a kind word or little belief in them may have.
I have a student who for the last 9 wks has done almost no work, and when I say hello he gives me the head nod or a mumble. But I say hi everyday. Last week he looked me in the eye said hi Ms Kaval, asked me for makeup work and did really well on the final. 1/2

After spending time in the Netherlands-the pros of bike culture; I deeply wish we valued the benefits of this type of infrastructure more than we do.
#OPINION | The city actually will only be spending $6.6 million a year over the four years with the rest of the money coming from provincial and federal subsidies like the “Active Transportation Fund,” writes Mark Anderson. | Hamilton #HamOnt | thespec.com/opinion/contribu…

During Pride Month, we recognize and celebrate Two Spirit & LGBTQIA+ contributions and identities, and the allies who stand in solidarity. It's also a time of action; a time to raise awareness about the hate and violence toward Two Spirit and LGBTQIA+ people and communities.

This made me smile! I was going to ask for his name, but saw in the comments it was the one and only Dr. Shah. He calls my son each year also! So special!! 💕

FUN!
Table Ball is so much fun to play. Combines the activities of tennis, volleyball & ping pong. If you have tables, it’s a must add to your curriculum! #physed

Gr. 6 had an excellent trip to the McMaster Planetarium to explore space. We also loved the learning we did at the McMaster Nuclear Reactor. Check out how we tested “clean” on our way out. No one was left behind for decontamination. 😉 Thank you to our guides. @RidgemountHwdsb

We’ve been engaging in math inquiry using strategies from Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics for a couple months now. The kids love vertical surfaces and especially writing on the windows!! This engagement method sticks.

Saving this for a future math “What do you notice?” I’m not so great with the tv references, but can definitely think math when I see this. I have a few of them, but only a small ‘proportion.’ 😉
Here's a repost of a challenge I am presenting tomorrow in #HClass22 for Mingle Monday. If #1 is The Simpsons, how many can you get? Some are pretty niche.
