Thank you @ahonigsfeld.bsky.social for your work with #bctesol today. You talked about my passion for collaboration.

If I was queen of Canada, I’d make Lunar new year a federal holiday and move Family Day to May (one the same day as Victoria’s bday). What do you think?

Q3: i will admit I don’t know. There doesn’t seem to be enough time to truly involve families as much as I’d like to. #Elsky

Q2: I give space for students to ask questions and share what they’ve heard. I often link curriculum to current events globally. #ELsky

A1: As someone teaching outside of the USA (Canada), the reaction by my students was fear that our politics would follow in the America footsteps as we see a rise in anti-immigration sentiment here as well. #ELsky

I'm Canadian 🇨🇦 and I reject Poilievre. 💯

Got a gift from a student who was in my class last year. I felt I struggled to connect with them during that time. Today they said “cause you are my favorite teacher”. You never really know how you impact others. Therefore, choose kindness always. #edu

Laziness is a myth. People don’t do or attempt because of barriers that make the possibility of failure too terrifying. #edusky

“Full inclusion” is not simply dumping a highly vulnerable child with complex needs into a regular classroom with no additional staff training or supports for safety and academic success. Inclusion means hard work. Inclusion means putting our money where our mouths are.

The addition of audio is excellent!

I wrote about this book on a previous post but just figured out how to post it. I'm really proud of the work students have done on this. #mll #ell #multilingual read.bookcreator.com/vDdq6H5IMnjn...

So I do a unit with my multilingual student where they write vingettes in dual languages similar in style to #thehouseonmangostreet I’ve struggled for years on what platform to use to display and finally put them on @bookcreater.com Would anyone like to see? #ell #mll
