Set students up for writing/representing success & ask them: What is the purpose for your writing/representing? Who is your audience? How will you best share your information/ideas? Here's a helpful infographic to guide the conversations & understanding @BCTELA #sd61learn #write

Thanks to @BCPVPA for inviting me to Aspiring Leaders. Talking about leadership & sharing how our work matters with @mrcjhorton is always a great time

Getting ready for Mental Health & Wellness Month at Glanford! Student inspired, shared learning, guest presenters & of course great books! See more about these books @robertsreads on IG @sd61schools #mentalhealth #middleschool #readingmatters

Spring Break = reading time! Looking forward to each of these #graphicnovels & I know GMS students will be excited to get them in their hands too! I can’t keep new graphic novels in my little office library for very long. @sd61schools #jaradgreen #noradasnes @BCTELA @bctla

I love sharing with @BCPVPA Aspiring Leaders! And, no better message than share your passions and find your joy! Thanks always to @mrcjhorton - it’s always a great time & convo with you!

Well there it is! Jumped on 10 day #readingsprint challenge inspired by @donalynbooks & #Bookaday . Can’t say it stops here tho. Lots more reading to come this summer. A great reminder that prioritizing a set time of reading = building your reading muscle (& joy) @BCTELA @bctla

@TammyRenyard would make for some good lessons :)

Local Victoria folks - this is on sale @MunrosBooks - lots of copies! #yyj

Missed posting #Bookaday yesterday. Not new, but a special one I hadn’t read yet! Themes of friendship, cooperation, compassion & of course book love! Ask: how does forgiveness support compassion? How does connection inspire joy? TY @michelleknudsen for a perfect read! @BCTELA

Another #graphicnovel that will be an instant hit. Sports. Academics. Coming age. Love triangle. LGBTQ. Identity. Fun. ALL PINK! Fans of @AliceOseman will love @marinscos I can’t wait to share. I don’t think it will be in my hands for long! @BCTELA @bctla #Bookaday

It feels so good to laugh while reading! @gordonkorman does it every time. This story is also endearing & champions the kids (and teachers!) who are labeled, forgotten & need to be seen. Amazing read aloud!! Ask: how can we see each other?#Bookaday @BCTELA @bctla #middlereads

Calling #bced Secondary educators leading/teaching Indigenous grad req: add this resource👇SO much rich learning: story, theme, imagery, symbolism, history, researcher notes & based fr a stop animation also by @spottedfawnart @SD61Learn @sd61schools @BCTELA @bctf @BCPVPA @bctla

Beautiful, immersive reading experience steeped in learning. Like moon phases, Strong follows her family story to learn about herself & shares Michif (Métis) history w/images as a past & present portal. Ask: how does our past shape our identity? TY @spottedfawnart #Bookaday

Today’s #Bookaday is 2 b/c I ❤️them!Fun & great prompts for class convos & learning. Simple, clear & engaging. I will have them in my office. As P I invite Ss to read or offer a book that connects to what’s going on for them. I’d use for ANY grade! TY @mikerexbooks @BCTELA

Because this is an amazing read 👇 @bookelicious @colbysharp

Fact 👇

Cover. To. Cover. Couldn’t put it down. Get on your shelves & read aloud so students can see themselves & understand how words impact the identity of others. We are all works in progress. Ask what is the difference between fitting in & belonging? TY @Jarrett_Lerner #Bookaday

SO glad I read this story! Not my usual read & excited to share with teachers & students. Hopeful & touching. The kind of story we all need. Ask- how do you show resilience? How do logic & emotion work together? How can we lift each other up? #Bookaday #globalreadaloud2023
