I Am Poem Creator Space guides students through their own creative process — AI asks thoughtful questions instead of giving answers, so every poem stays in the student's own voice.

Reading isn’t just comprehension—it’s connection. 🍎📖
This “peel the fruit” organizer helps students move from surface observations to deeper meaning, perspective, and theme.
From what happened to why it matters.

Students playing a fun Christmas board game 🎄🎲 while learning Christmas vocabulary, prepositions, and how to ask & answer questions! Roll the die, land on a picture, ask “Where is the ___?” 🙋♀️✨ “The candy cane is on the tree!” Snow much fun!

Kids playing a fun barrier game while learning to give clear instructions, use prepositions, and really listen. With three spots, they practice words like first, middle, last—and asking questions when instructions aren’t clear. Learning through play!

MTSS for MLLs…an important question we should ask says Jamie Scripps is, “Are we using appropriate scaffolds for their proficiency level?”

International Phonetic Alphabet - Are any universities offering this as a class? This would be helpful for teaching ELL and for learning languages too! The video is in French, but it is the best explanation I have heard. youtu.be/UzkZCui0CKw?si=CC0v…

We often hear about the Simple View of Reading… but have you heard about the Simple View of Writing?! Thank you @RALiteracy for sharing research-based instructional recommendations for early writing instruction today at #LitLearn2025! @IDA_Ontario

On #FrenchImmersionDay, we should celebrate the progress that’s been made to support our at-risk readers! We now have standardized screening tools to identify struggling readers & a structured literacy program, Son-au-graphe, that’s research-based & highly effective.

Started using @gecdsbpro Son-au-graphe with this group of SKs in December as part of their language program. Look at them go—reading connected text with confidence! Emphasis put on tracking with their finger to support decoding and directionality. #EarlyLiteracy #ReadingSuccess
