November is Here!

It’s hard to believe we are nearing the end of another year! We have been very fortunate to enjoy some beautiful weather with brilliant colours, so soak up the sun and enjoy the rest of this splendid fall season! Last month, Tracy shared another great PPT on Autumn – see the PDF below. Also, if you missed the workshop Marina and I held on assessment planning with Real world tasks, here is a copy of the presentation:

Here are a few topics you could teach in November: Health and Wellness, Flu Season, End of Daylight Savings Time, World Kindness Day, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Shopping and Consumerism. If you are looking for Remembrance Day resources, Danielle shared a link to many resources: Veterans' Week and Remembrance Day Learning Resources - Veterans Affairs Canada

We hope you enjoyed your time at the conference this year. Marina found a great resource from a session on the “Directory of Best Practices.” If you are looking for all PBLA related material with lessons, rubrics (filled and blank), assessments etc. please check it out here: https://bestpractices.teslontario.org/en/resources/resource_category/pbla-resource/ 

Tasneem found a useful resource from her session with Nancy Van Drop. You can find links to many free photos, audios and games here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UnvUQ68uQd56B6cCchAQw7Ofxsjz1qupSXWcBOt5weY/edit?usp=sharing

Thank you to all our instructors who continue to share great resources and links. Finally, a big thank you to Kate for sharing her lesson plans for November! Find them here:

Have a wonderful month,

Haleema and Marina 😊
