Had the absolute pleasure of watching Glendale Performing Art’s @GPAandSHSM incredible production of The Little Mermaid tonight. I went to support family (who slayed the role of Ursula) and left in complete awe of the entire cast and crew. Amazing job to all involved! @HWDSB

Learning to read is not a privilege but a basic and essential human right. We heard thousands of stories from students, parents and educators on human rights issues affecting students with reading disabilities. #RightToRead

Check out this great wakelet with many amazing resources for word chaining! Word chaining is a powerful activity that connects Phonemic Awareness to Phonics. (eg, hat, bat, bit, hit, him, hip, hap, map)

Was able to witness an amazing “ah ha” moment in @MrsRMothersole’s Gr 1 class today!! 💜 When spelling the word kit, Ss were excited to share that they just learned about the c and k spelling rules in class and they proceeded to change “cit” to “kit” after a little discussion!
