They both arrived the same day! 📖 I’ve been learning a lot about #explicitteaching and #cognitivescience over the past few months. Blake and Zach are standouts in connecting the science to practice. Decisions, decisions, decisions…(which to read 1st?)

My growing understanding of #cognitiveloadtheory has allowed me to better support sts as they learn foundational skills and concepts across the curriculum. I have used a “sticky note” analogy to describe the temporary nature of working memory, but like this one from @mrzachg.bsky.social too! 1/2

Trying to keep this account purely educational. I welcome follows from others interested in #primaryED, #SOR, #scienceofmath, #scienceoflearning, #executivefunctioning, especially those in #ontEd. No politics please! Trying to stick to this—Don’t take it personal if I don’t follow back ☺️

Something stinky, but fun, happened at school today 👟 First, we put our shoes in a pile. Then we decided to sort by colour. Then we organized the groups into lines. Added labels and a title. ✨TADA! ✨We made a concrete graph! “Dark shoes are most popular”. #edusky #primaryEd #primarymath

Funny story! We’re reading “The Gingerbread Man” learning about fairytale, story sequence etc. Having many ELL learners, I like to reinforce vocab quite a bit. So, I ask “What sound does a cow make?” Literally ALL sts reply: “/k/ /ow/“ (I expected “moo!”)

My #UFLI lessons are working! #edusky
