What math courses do you teach? I have a good assignment for MHF4U on different functions, transformations of those functions and using Desmos to create a social justice poster/drawing of your choice. Send me a shout on Twitter if you are interested :). @sciencewithMsLu

I know I teach science, but math is my other teachable and I have been thinking so much lately about how we might bring social justice into math. I feel like I have really thought about it through gr 9-12 for the science program and have a good model from a how students progress by age through the sci curriculum, but feel I only have…Read more

I honestly am so thankful for running as it really keeps my centred while teaching through the pandemic! I have stopped workouts too because I am too scared to be injured (and it’s really tiring to teach during the pandemic!). I know if I get injured and can’t use running as an outlet, I would really struggle to find balance and prioritize…Read more

Hmm…my limitation/thought now is, in a non-semestered school, you will have 8 different classes sharing the one classroom. If I wanted to implement it for all my grade 10s, I would have 50+ jars…and no where to store it in the grade 10 room. Any work arounds? I would rather something tangible than digital too since it…Read more

I’d love if part of our school program had a gratitude journal. I’ve tried to do aspects of it in my classroom–but with the hustle and bustle, I find I can only get to it once every couple classes and I want to be much more intentional about this! An old workplace of mine used to start every meeting with a…Read more

How awesome is that story?! Also, just looking through all her photos and reading her story…these things always make me jaw drop. It’s just so so so SO cool what we can do. Our bodies are incredible, our minds are seriously crazy…throw the two together and WOW!

I think we all put pressure on ourselves to constantly improve and exactly like you said, when are we ever ever done?! We are never, but I love cohort and how we all aim to do better in a judgement free zone and work together towards bettering ourselves, our teaching and our community. It’s…Read more

This actually got me so excited. I can’t wait to hear about how some activities serve you well and how they work. Though I still don’t know the exact direction I want to go in, my discussions with students has lead me a lot to the idea not of science literacy, but a “science learning community”. I would love to hear your thoughts…Read more

The students truly surprised me at how supportive they were to my experience and how they could relate. Some students mentioned a bad test, their stresses about university, etc. but the learning experience as a whole really showed a classroom dynamic that I didn’t realize had been created.

It was definitely really great to see how the relationship I’ve built with the students really grow but it was a tough moment to stomach as well. So excited to see you this weekend and catch up on all the cool things you’re doing in your classroom! 🙂

See you soon,

May

This year has definitely been a journey but I am finding that being open and very real with my students about this has helped develop a cool dynamic and relationship. I am nervous but excited for the learning experience 🙂

The sub 2 hour marathon was definitely an amazing moment. There has been some negative backlash on what shoes were worn and how much was about ability and how much was about the technology.
