'The Maiden' Venice Review: Graham Foy’s low-key drama starts off feeling like a sketchbook piece of fragmented realism, but becomes increasingly dream-like... a much more ambitious piece than it at first appears" says @JonathanRomney #Venezia79 bit.ly/3wW3oCa

I don’t even know what to say. #proudestdadever. ❤️❤️
Graham Foy's #TheMaiden, a finely tuned story of adolescent mythmaking, takes place in suburban Calgary, where Foy spent teenage summers near the graffiti-covered railroad and ragged ravine.

Make a pizza. Decide how many slices it will have. Decide what toppings to put on your pizza and on which slices. What fraction of your pizza has which toppings? @FiresideRVS @rvsed
Took a bit of spill. Will be on crutches for a bit. Luckily Grade 4’s got me covered. Tricked out a new ride for me, complete with bike horn & saddlebag for candy! Thanks @StephColling & 4C!

Three ways to re-purpose #homework as a safe space to make mistakes:
✅ Call it a "check for understanding" instead.
✅ Give students the answer in advance.
✅ Don't mark it.

Our grade 7/8 student leadership students have been introducing Skyler the Hawk to our youngest students and delivering some school “swag.” Skyler is a hit, and they’ll be flying around the school with more deliveries next week as well. @FiresideRVS – at Airdrie, Alberta

I want all my students to become skilled mathematical thinkers who believe they are good at math. This is why we do “Same/Different” math strategy questions. It allows for the opportunity to expand on ideas and concepts, as not everyone thinks the same. @FiresideRVS
On Friday our weekly School Wide Activity was to write something about ourselves we are proud of. Part of self care is celebrating our gifts and strengths. Love these. #rvsed #firesideschool – at Airdrie, Alberta
