Congrats to the Military Trail Public School Forest of Reading Club members who braved today’s weather to compete at Quiz Bowl! A super fun day which included a visit from awesome author J. Torres. Thank you to @tdsb_Chief Dan George PS for hosting and our awesome team of TLs for organizing!

The countdown is on! Kim Davidson and I are doing a workshop for Elementary Educators #SummerAcademy ! July 11-13 in Brantford (along the shores of the beautiful Grand River!) with ETFO Grand Erie. You can register now at events.etfo.org. Better get yours quick before they're gone!

We're proud to announce the title for the 2023 TD Grade One Book Giveaway is Chaiwala! Written by Priti Maheshwari, illustrated by Ashley Barron & published by Owlkids Publishing, it'll be distributed to over 500,000 Grade 1 students in the fall of 2023! bit.ly/3Ojj5Ng TD (Canada)

Advocacy is a huge part of what we do as teacher-librarians. Here I am with Kim Davidson at 5050 Yonge with a room full of Trustees delegating about why school libraries and the role of the TL is critical to the school community. Here's hoping it resonated. #ONSchoolLibraries

Lesson plans for each grade, long range plans, coding and webinars for teachers at b.link/44vfen to help with the 2022 Ontario Elementary Science and Technology Curriculum.

Thank you Neeta for sharing this photo! 😍

Such a privilege and pleasure to be in Halifax for #DemocracyBootcamp . Grateful for the opportunity to work with educators from across Eastern Canada and share strategies for talking about political issues with students.

#DemocracyBootcamp is underway in Vancouver!

We appreciate BC Educators joining us from across the province for an exciting 2-days of professional development!

This was made possible by the generosity of the Elections B.C., The Rossy Foundation and the Gov. of Canada.

Our Military Trail Public School robotics team preps for judging tomorrow at our very first FIRST LEGO League competition! No matter what the result, we are proud of our growth and learning together. Special thanks to Annika Pint 🤖👩🏻‍🏫🌿🧘🏻‍♀️👩🏻‍🔬🐕 for mentoring us!

TIL that Chromebook warranty coverage applies to the date that TDSB IT Services submits the claim to the vendor, NOT when the service ticket was originally submitted. Frustrating lesson learned ☹️

I got this from 𝗧𝗖𝗘𝗔 and tweeting it because I love it. I feel like I wear all of these hats but am fortunate to work in a properly funded LLC LASS inspires.... ALL school libraries need to be properly funded to maximize what they can achieve. Libraries are the ❤ of a school!

For our next quick Student Vote teacher tip, Kim Davidson talks about using our library of animated videos for clear and concise explanations of key election concepts.
