Thank you to @pearson for inviting @a_thompsonclass and I to present on “The Gift of Playful Learning” and how it aligns with Ontario’s new Kindergarten curriculum. Stay tuned for our upcoming session with Pearson in the fall.
In our first week in LE3 @etfoaq Reading Pt. 1 reflected on one new idea that stretched their thinking. I summarized their reflections in this infographic.
It was a joy to discuss effective small group instruction with educators in the TDSB. A highlight was providing teachers with The Phonics Companion and Bug Club Phonics decodables to use right away! The feedback was overwhelmingly positive.

As we continue our learning in @etfoaq Reading Part 1 participants were asked to reflect on their learning in LE1 using a Sring emoji. I summarized their ideas through an infographic.

Such amazing learning as our first LE has come to an end in @etfoaq Reading Part 1. A big thank you to AQ Lead Rob for inspiring me to use NotebookLM. Here are some highlights from the candidates.
