My little friend was in tears & wanted to quit school. SHE’S 8! So we ditched her assignment & did a reflection on her strengths and stretches. A page of writing! This is her “I did it” face. This is what joy in learning looks like. If kids are in tears we are doing it wrong.
Today I was working on distance learning, you know...planning learning invitations, giving feedback, registering for webinars, conferencing with colleagues..my daughter wanted to make lemonade from scratch.
School doors may be closed but we are accepting online Kindergarten registrations for 2020-2021. Your child must be turning 4 years of age by December 31, and can enrol at hwdsb.on.ca/blog/reminder-…. For questions/concerns, contact (905) 527-5092 or [email protected]#firstdayHWDSB
Yes, folks! Math and literacy are everywhere... parents can tap into life lessons that support their child & their academic “next steps” by listening and responding in turn. Your home is an extension of the classroom, even when classrooms are closed!

A great read for educators as we consider the impact that e-learning has on our families (especially those with multiple children). Approaching education from a whole-child lens has never been more important!
