“There is a fundamental right that every child has to feel emotionally safe in school no matter his or her family dynamics. It's time we changed to meet the needs of all our students.” Thoughts? I’m glad I’ve refocused my lens 🤗

I am full of gratitude for receiving recognition for being an”Exceptional Caregiver” through music recipient. This incredible Gala Event, “Voices That Care” was organized by the “Music Care, @room217fdn The evening included performances by incredible CDN musicians & comedians.

Dr. Pascal envisioned a world where ECEs were valued, honoured, and compensated for the important work they do. We share this vision and will continue to uphold it. We are sending care and condolences to his family and the ELCC community.

Love this visual provided by the EarlyON 😍 Birth to 8yrs is considered the “Early Years” & that play is something that benefits ALL these learners. Why is it viewed as a secondary option to learning?

After years of listening to @DrJeanforkids I had a fangirl moment last night at OSS 😍@SCDSB_Schools Dr Jean spoke to us about the adolescent brain- I didn’t realize it begins as early as 10! Thank you to the parent council at OSS for supporting this! 🤗

A dirty easel reminds me of the artistic process. The process of choosing colours/shapes/sizes/movements of the paint, paper and brush. Heres to more dirty easels! Enough with IG perfection! 😆

I’ll be there! Where are my SCDSB K-3 educator peeps at!?!? 🤩🤩🤩🤩

It’s amazing how others words & actions can rejuvenate our focus & remind us we DO have purpose & value 🤗Thank YOU Superintendent @matt_webbe for all your hard work & the relationships you value & continue build in your role as Superintendent. 🤩#scdsb @SCDSB_Schools

Today I met the most AMAZING paper ✈️ maker @Trillium_Woods @SCDSB_Schools This ✈️ maker had some serious talent & the folding was ON POINT! He was pretty happy when I told him I was going to share this with all my friends! Moments like this is when I miss my students most. 🤗😍

SCDSB educators, are you concerned about being "behind" in math? Wondering how to fit it all in during the next few months? Reach out to one of the math team at math@scdsb.on.ca. We can meet with you to help you create a plan. @SCDSBProgram @SCDSB_Schools

To all educators, we need to remind ourselves that we don’t have to be perfect. Success isn’t perfection. Instead, it’s the relentless pursuit of growth, striving to be better than we were yesterday, and continuously trying to increase our impact on our students’ learning. ❤️

Is there REALLY such a thing as TOO much play for early learners? Do children REALLY get bored of playing OR could they bored with the materials in play?

Why are diverse books important in @SCDSB_Schools libraries? Ask your children about books they are reading and why!

Thanks @mrscoxthetrex for organizing our order!

What a fun engaging way to learn through whole body experience!

Did you know the @OntScienceCtr has FREE PD for educators!!?? Love that they are promoting play based learning for Primary! How do you incorporate play based learning into your grade 1-3 classes? Is it only used as a reward? What about using it as a vehicle for learning?
