How is polar bear habitat in Hudson Bay this year? Bad. Red/pink is missing ice. Last week was 20% ice cover & the median is >50%. Polar bears move ashore at ice cover <50% but our tracking data suggests the bears are hanging on to the last ice longer than they used to.

This past November, four students from Nelson McIntyre Collegiate visited Churchill, MB, on a research trip with NorthSTAR. Read more about what they learned on the trip and what next steps in their research are in at lrsd.net.

Winnipeg showed up at the legislature this afternoon during an extreme cold warning to tell this nonsensical white nationalist convoy that it’s time to go home. #mbpoli

Teachers! This one is for you, for always finding the strength to give young people hope, even in the most difficult circumstances. Thank you.

I just want to say a little extra thank you to all the people who are squeamish about needles and got vaccinated over the past year anyway

Walk slowly. It will keep you calm. And don’t let the one or two students who are off task consume your attention. Otherwise, enjoy seeing students think.
Tomorrow I am doing my first “thinking” lesson on surface area of a rectangular prism! Any last minute advice @pgliljedahl ? #thinkingclassroom #math

In a math class today with a teacher who is pro at creating relationships with Ss. Used 1/3 of time to just talk with them Me: Aren’t you worried about falling behind in content T: I fall behind now so they work hard for me later #buildrelationships #wrdsbmath #thinkingclassrooms

wow, you really can teach at a breakneck speed when kids are really thinking and problem solving in a #thinkingclassroom
taught difference of squares, factoring cubics by grouping, factoring trinomials quartics, and factoring out the GCF in a 59 minute period 😳

My 2021-2022 school year mantra: "...the goal of building #thinkingclassrooms is not to find engaging tasks for students to think about. The goal... is to build engaged students that are willing to think about any task." - @pgliljedahl #mtbos #iteachmath #mathchat #msmathchat
