Homemade teacher gifts have so much value to me. The crochet / sewing display is getting out of hand. I’m a very lucky teacher.

When a talented student influences a purchasing decision. Memories of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. 🎶🎵
A highlight from 2025: preparing an inquiry into chemistry based on student interest. Also incorporated a passionate debate on chemistry vs the environment. #giftededucation #gifted
Ss in 6H & 6L connected the work they've done in geometry & measurement when exploring Tinkercad before their maker space 3D printer arrives.
Enjoyed a wonderful two days working with educators in Winnipeg School Division as we explored best practices for integrating #coding across the curriculum. See more at www.codetolearn.ca/en
From ideation to iterations to blueprint to prototype model 🤩 #STEM #STEAM models for “My Public Art Space” project: "How might we bring art & people together in an outdoor public space?" more designs coming soon! Next up: Pitch📢 #DesignThinking #GlobalCompetencies #Creativity
Thank you for your response. A very insightful article on how veteran teachers view classroom opportunities: “Just when I think I have discovered the latest and greatest ways to engage my students in meaningful work, something new appears on the horizon.”
Congratulations on that milestone! 🎉 That is significant. And I know what you mean about learning SO MUCH every year. I wrote about it here to encourage others to stick with it. So much joy in each new challenge! www.nbpts.org/blog/2018/09...

This year … I reached a small milestone in my teaching career. I started teaching at 23 years old. I turned 46 in March. I’ve been teaching half my life! The ironic thing is that this year I learned so much about teaching. It never becomes “old hat.”
STEM club students enjoyed learning about @microbit.org. They were so excited to use the Robotic Inventions kit to enhance their @strawbees.bsky.social creations. They experimented with their code and the position of the servo motor for best results. #STEM #Edusky
More fun with @microbit.org and the Climate Action Kit. My grade 5s built a wind turbine and a monitor that waters a plant when moisture percentage falls below 30%. Excellent response from students.
Fun with Grade 6s learning about circuits and using breadboards.
Having a wonderful time building and discussing a model V-8 engine with some amazing students.
Thank you @compulsiongames.bsky.social! I really enjoyed #SouthofMidnight. Wonderful art, music, setting …
Playing #SouthofMidnight. Such an amazing game with unique art style and beautiful Southern atmosphere. Thank you to @compulsiongames.bsky.social
Students will enjoy discovering this robotic arm. #jetsoninfinity. I have to test it out myself first.
Great Read! “These inquiry-based tasks …often validated multiple solution paths, incorporated multiple problem-solving skills, and allowed students to construct a conceptual understanding of the mathematics.”
Teachers, how are you incorporating inquiry into your curriculum? Share tips below. ⬇️ For more on how educator Kristen Smith combines #inquiry with direct instruction in her math class, read the full article here: buff.ly/2gKHiJU 8/8 #EduSky
I’d say I’m ready for Lewis Hamilton to race for @scuderiaferrarif1.bsky.social. 1 more week until the #australianGP
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle was a fantastic adventure. Enjoyed it very much!
