The Yule Goat in Scandinavian traditions predates modern Christmas icons like Santa. Originally a symbol of harvest spirits, the goat evolved into a festive figure demanding gifts and later delivering them, embodying the connection between winter and fertility. #FolkyFriday

The 14th-century Swedish author Olaus Magnus said that in Prussia, Livonia, and Lithuania, werewolves gathered on Christmas Night to participate in athletic games. Those too fat to leap over a wall were eaten by their fitter comrades. Then they would besiege isolated human houses.

35 years ago today a gunman walked into an engineering classroom at the École Polytechnique in Montreal, separated the women from the men and killed 14 of them. It was the ultimate manifestation of the gender-based bias and violence we still face in STEM today. We must never forget. 👩🏻🔬 🧪

Why use choice boards with MLs?
➡️ entry point for all proficiency levels, ensuring Ss are challenged but not overwhelmed
➡️ giving Ss the power to choose fosters a sense of ownership over their learning
➡️ encourages collaboration which promotes language development
