Self published HiLo book about a mouse in the classroom
Today in the COC, we published our first book of the semester. Students co-created the text and then took pictures to match the story. A Mouse in December may or may not have been inspired by true events. 😏🐁 #EduSky

Handmade cardboard gears.
Today in the COC we started a combined math and science project. We are making a compound machine from a wheel & axle and an inclined plane. We'll be using our measuring skills and our geometry vocabulary. Students watched an instructional video and wrote down the steps. #EduSky #SLIFE
Great insights in @edutopia.org on supporting #SLIFE!
How people see me. My mom sees me as an elephant. I am confident. My brother sees me as a monkey. I'm selfish. My friend sees me as a dog. I am friendly. My sister sees my as a cat. I am funny. I'm a bear. I am strong.
This week in the COC, we used a prompt from the book Naming the World to create poems about How People See Us. Then students used Canva to make posters. #EduSky #SLIFE #OntEd

Area puzzle on whiteboard
Today in the COC, I found students moving forward through my Area Puzzles slideshow during their lunch! Am I upset that they've worked through all the puzzles for next week, or happy they love doing them? #OntEd #SLIFE
I’m so excited to work with @michelleshory.bsky.social & the Seneca teachers!

I had such a wonderful opportunity to participate in experiential learning around our @apsva.bsky.social students with limited or interrupted formal education. The session was all in Spanish and showed the power of scaffolds for learning and classroom climate #SLIFE #EduSky
I’m so honored by this post, Alison! Thank you for coming and for the support you are giving #SLIFE and their teachers. 🥹. #BoostingAchievement #Newcomers
Today in the COC we practiced giving out personal information, spelling our name, relaying our phone number. Yesterday we filled in a library card application, and I realized students needed practice with this. #ELSky

I teach reading skills to newcomers with gaps in their education. Yesterday I came across a wonderful resource and thought I'd share with all those teachers who teach reading to older students. literacycentre.immigrant-education.ca

3 young men working at the whiteboard
Today in the COC, students are using NPVS to work through some fraction questions. Each student has a different role to force them to speak English with their classmates. #ITeachMath #EduSky #SLIFE
Screen capture of a Google Search. Title: Attenborough's Arctic Betrayal
The COC is studying endangered species this week, and I was searching for a video I had previously seen from David Attenborough. The third result from Google was this climate denier. THIRD! Next week's lesson: media awareness. #EduSky #SLIFE
Google Slides with 7 images of different animals.
In the COC, we will often sort objects by their properties or traits. I used Jamboard for this task and missed it until I realized that I could close the side bar and lengthen the screen in Google slides. This allows me to scroll through student work without presenting. #SLIFE #EduSky
This happened to me today. A student who arrived in October read aloud in front of the class. Everyone clapped. #SLIFE #EduSky
Book cover - Building Academic Vocabulary
Today in the COC, I dug out Building Academic Vocabulary (Marzano/Pickering) for my student teacher. I like how being a practicum teacher forces me to revisit language acquisition theories. #EduSky #SLIFE
A game board that looks like a house. 8 family characters can be moved around.
In the COC, we are building up our family vocabulary, so when my daughter thrifted this game for me, I was thrilled. It's played like battleships. Students practice Yes/No question formation. #EduSky #SLIFE
A snowman about 6 inches tall.
There is nothing more exciting than your first snowman, even if you're a young adult. This one is tiny, but the joy was large.
#SLIFE #EduSky.
Today in the COC, students worked on sorting animals into their respective animal groups. Questions helped them determine the correct group: "Does it have fur? Does it lay eggs?" etc. Some still had difficulty with the penguin and the salamander. 🐧🦎 #EduSky
#SLIFE
Today in the COC, my student teacher was out sick. He was about to start literature circles with a few of the students. Luckily my ONFE volunteer was able to take over and get the group started. I couldn't do what I do without this organization and their volunteers. #EduSky #SLIFE
Take a look at all the new content in the 2nd Ed of #BoostinghAchievement. Pls don't wait to book next year's Professional Dev for #Newcomer support. This beauty hits the shelves in January & we're already booking thru Spring '26. Hope to work with you soon! #SLIFE #SIFE #ELLs #ESOL #EAL #EBs
Posters showing comparative adjectives: taller/shorter and younger/older.
Today in the COC we used some ESL Library interview tasks to practice the description words we have been studying. This is subscription based, but I love it. You can print poster sized images to help with vocabulary acquisition. #EduSky #SLIFE
