Learning with @wordtorque is truly wonderful. Every time I work with Fiona, I learn something new which I can add to my classroom the next day.

Congratulations @wordtorque for creating your very first self paced online workshop at teachable.com I'm sure the teachers, tutors and parents of K-6 students will appreciate the opportunity to learn with you. #literacy #wordinquiry #phonics wordtorque.com/phonics-morpho…

Did you know there's a reason for every letter in a word?

Ever wondered what the <o> is doing in the word people? This word comes from the Latin word populus and the <o> tells the tale of its history and links it to our words population and popular. #tellthetale #thehfwproject #wordinquiry @RebeccaSWI thehfwproject.com

❤️ this time of year. G2 Ss are thrilled to see all their hard work come alive as their ‘Small Moment’ stories are told thru crank machines that they built from scratch. Great tie to self-awareness unit as Ss use a number of tools independently when building. #makered @kispride

New Video. Multiplication is very important. This past summer I wrote a student workbook - every student needs their own copy. I designed it in such a way that I could use the graphics to make videos for teachers. This is the first one. youtu.be/o70pVZ0NU7s

In 2015, my team began considering how we plan for literacy through a lens on #inquiry. In 2018 I developed this model to support teachers who were asking the same thing. It's ever evolving and just one approach, but I still love how oral language is such an integral part (1/2)
