  • I know. I know. I’ve spent WAY too many hours in front of the computer screen lately. I know! I just can’t help exploring different ways to make remote learning engaging and meaningful for my students. But I’ve forgotten something. I’ve forgotten to be more in the moment, to get outside and enjoy the blooms of spring,... to just breathe. An evening stroll at @tbg_canada with my eldest was just what I didn’t realize I needed... #edwardsgardens #torontoparks #torontobotanicalgarden #lifeinthe6ix #teacherlife🍎 #twittergram

  • Bring on the long weekend! I cannot tell you how much I am looking forward to some much needed rest and relaxation. And some sunshine, too. I hope! I have an audiobook already lined up and my trusty new #Sudio wireless earphones are fully charged and ready to go. These were sent to me courtesy of @Sudio about a month ago and I am quite impressed that I’ve only ever had to fully recharge the case once since then. Between my daughter and I, we use them for about 2-3 hours a day, so it’s been great not to have to worry about charging it as frequently as some of our other devices. Plus, it comes with USB-C so even then, it charges quickly. If you’re looking for a new set of earphones or for a gift idea for Father’s Day (they also come in white, black or classic blue), use code torontomom15 at checkout to save 15%! #sudiomoments #sudiofem #giftedproduct #wirelessearphones #twittergram

  • Lisa: I’m so sick of this rain. Remind me never to take my honeymoon at Niagara Falls. Marjorie: So, you go to Acapulco. Unfortunately, we aren’t going anywhere anytime soon but at least I get to watch some of my all-time favourite movies while stuck indoors during these April showers. (I’ll give you three guesses which movie I quoted above!) Luckily, I can enjoy movies that *I* want to watch without having to compete with whatever the rest of my family is listening to thanks to these new #Sudio Fem wireless earphones I received courtesy of @Sudio. Aside from my #VasaBla earphones, they are the only other ones that fit comfortably in my ear. I absolutely love the low profile cushions and the soft texture of both the earphones and the clamshell case. Plus, the sound quality is amazing, which makes solo salsa dancing a lot more fun. (Gah! How I miss dance class!) If you’re looking for a new set of earphones, Sudio is offering a pouch + tote bag + gift bag during their #MothersDay2020 promotion. AND because I love my new earphones so much, I’ve partnered with Sudio to offer you a special 15% discount! Just use code torontomom15 at checkout. (Valid for the next 60 days.) #sudiomoments #giftedproduct #wirelessearphones #twittergram #rainraingoaway☔️ #SudioFem

  • Throwing it back to, er... last week? I’ve lost track of the days. Anywho, I’m pretty sure it was last week when we devoured the last of our @purdyschocolatier Easter stash of pure deliciousness. At least I have a lovely tin that I can reuse and repurpose! What’s one thing you’ve run out of that you wish you had stocked up on? Besides chocolate, of course. . . . #purdyschocolatier #giftedproduct #purdyschocolate #easterchocolate #qualitychocolate #boxofchocolates #yummychocolate #twittergram #chocolatelegend #canadianchocolate

  • Calling all my educator friends! Did you know that, based on a recently published report by @girlguidesofcanada, 1 in 10 girls age 15-17 say they have faced expectations to pursue a traditionally “female” career? #sponsored . Let’s continue to challenge stereotypes and join Girl Guides of Canada in supporting girls to thrive in STEM by focusing on the importance of keeping their options open. Invite an inspiring female role model to speak to your students, reframe STEM subjects as those that can provide crucial skills in a variety of careers and use positive problem-solving language that helps to affirm girls’ abilities in STEM. . We have one of the best jobs in the world, one which allows us to help shape the future for ALL of our students. Together, with the help of guidance counsellors, parents and organizations such as Girl Guides of Canada, we can work towards balancing the equation for girls in STEM and give them equal opportunity to access high-earning and high-skill jobs. .

  • Hands up if you have a daughter and believe she can succeed in STEM subjects. Welcome to the club! Unfortunately, I recently read a report by @girlguidesofcanada and was disheartened to learn that girls continue to receive messages that STEM is not for them. #sponsored Although girls and women in STEM are noticeably underrepresented, there is still plenty we can do as parents to help keep doors open for our daughters. Below I share some tips from Girl Guides of Canada on how parents can support their girls in STEM: o Encourage girls to keep their options open when selecting high school courses, developing skills and exploring career options. o Be a model of lifelong learning and invite your daughter to join you as you build your own digital literacy and technical skills. o Keep the conversations going and be mindful of the vocabulary you use - when you can talk about STEM as subjects that are creative, help people and make the world, a better place – especially if these are things that motivate your daughter o Find inspiring women mentors and role models in STEM o Cultivate a growth mindset and motivate your daughter to pursue things outside her comfort zone. o Challenge stereotypes and bias and find opportunities to affirm girls’ abilities in all STEM subjects.
