It's time for back-to-school haircuts. I gave Kid2 hers the other week, so it's just Kid3 and Kid4 tonight. Kid4 went first. The haircuts happen in the kitchen: they sit on a stool and I tell them to turn around when I need to cut different areas.

To avoid confusion, I give directions based on what in the room they will be facing, eg the stove, the window, the blackboard. Which led to this:

Me: OK, turn around to face the plants... No, the plants.... oh. Sorry. The other plants

Kid4 (rolling eyes): You have too many plants

Heh heh. Mission accomplished

#BackToSchool #EasternBush

This is the start of our "Back to School" series which will feature schools from Waiau, Murihiku:

According to FWG Millers history, Eastern Bush School was not opened until 1 January 1892 and previously the school children had been taught in the Scobie’s woolshed on the Accommodation House/Hotel property. We have a list of early teachers and students. What we are missing is more photos. Can you help with this? Thanks!

I will soon be testing "You're never too old to (fill in the blank)".

I've applied and started the process to go back to school full time while working full time.

Something I've been thinking about for many years is to become a therapist. More specifically, a clinical therapist. This is a long term goal because even though I have many hours of college credits, including the CCAF, I've never obtained a degree.

Good morning and a Happy New Year to one and all!

I'm still on holiday until Monday but it's #BackToSchool day so time to dismantle the tree, and sweep the Christmas dust away.
And a very snowy + wintry scene it was when I saw the kids out the door this am... #SnowDK

Cuir an fhuaim in airde leis na focail a chloisteáil. Bain úsáid astu le linn na seachtaine agus téigh i dtaithí leis an nGaeilge a úsáid i do shaol laethúil. Turn up the volume to hear each word. Try using these words throughout the week and become comfortable using Irish in your day to day life

First few days of school have gone well. We're trying to implement a new, more consistent behaviour policy and it's interesting how SLT have gone about that. I increasingly think I'd love to have more influence by perhaps moving into leadership so trying to really learn as much as possible and reflect on how things are done #Education #teaching #Teacher #BackToSchool #SecondarySchool #edutooter @edutooters

And the school year has begun. I’m sitting in my car listening to the radio and waiting for the youngest to get out of soccer practice. So many hours spent this way. #BackToSchool

I don’t know if this is the best end of the summer holidays or the worst

#BackToSchool (not for me though)

As students settle back into school, start making classroom connections with graphic adaptations of literary classics!

(DYK we have SIX different adaptations of Dracula — including a manga edition and one in Spanish?)

My son is starting kindergarten this year, and I couldn’t be more proud of him as he begins this new adventure. Like all parents, I am filled with a mix of excitement, joy, and worry about the year ahead.

I am excited for our students to go back to school, where they can learn and discover their talents, supported by an incredible community of passionate educators, dedicated parents, and curious classmates.

Happy #FirstDayOfSchool! (In Ontario, at least). To mark the day, why not learn something about why kids learn the way they do, in our video about the history of education:

Happy book birthday to Edie Pagliasotti for Miles Ellis And The Forbidden Scrolls! "Uncover the Secrets of Ancient Egypt: A Middle-Grade Adventure Packed with Mystery, Magic, and a Battle Against Time!" This book would work very well in the classroom, as it provides lots of info on ancient Egypt and great possibilities for discussions.

My eighth grader on her way to the bus this morning for her first day back to school ...
She's growing up too damn fast.

Good Morning #Canada
Today the majority of 4.9 million kids will head #BackToSchool across the country. This is just a reminder that Canada is continually ranked in the top 5 worldwide for quality of education. Recent analysis reports that over 94% of Canadian students have completed high school at a minimum. Canada has the largest share of college and university graduates in the G7.

"This week thousands of parents prepared for their children to start or return to school.

Meanwhile in Gaza there is no back to school nerves or excitement, just kids trying to survive in unimaginable horror."
