So nice to have a Meet the Teacher Night again! Ss did a great job of showing their families around our room with a scavenger hunt (thanks Jenna Copeland !) and our Guess Who game was a hit! #SACTVDSB

Fun activity seen on Twitter: cornhole! We worked on underhand throwing to 21 points. 3 in the pylon, 1 in the hoola hoop. Points are cancelled out if both teams score, so some subtraction work too :) #SACTVDSB

Be kind. It's that simple.

I work & have worked with so many kind, compassionate educators. Their only agenda, beyond providing a rich, engaging approach to the curriculum, is kindness, inclusivity & empathy. I encourage parents to escape the misinformation by engaging in conversations with educators.

In a survey, nearly 2/3 of teens gave some version of this advice to future teens: Don’t use social media. It’s OK to abstain. Or delete your accounts. Michaeleen Doucleff, PhD Teens say social media is stressing them out. Here's how to help them kqed.org/mindshift/6167…

As a new mom, this is something that I already think about. I see the negative impact of social media in grade 6 students constantly, especially girls and their social relationships. I don’t want that for my daughter :( I’ll be looking for lots of advice when the time comes!

So fun! Great work Mrs. Hessel :) I miss collaborating with you!
