Are you on Facebook? Are you part of the WBT High School Facebook page?? Jill Armstrong over at History Teacher WBT started our very own High School Facebook page but so far we only have 18 members!! I know that WBT elementary teachers far outnumber us high school teachers so I am going on a recruiting mission! Are you wondering if WBT can work effectively in the high school setting the answer is, of course, YES! You can read my WBT in High School post for more info.

Resources to Start Off Your Week 29
I hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend! I spent an amazing weekend at my grandparent’s cabin in Northern Manitoba about 4 hours from our house or about 9-10 hours from the Canada-US border.

Whole Brain Teaching Wednesday! My Classroom
I follow many blogs from American teachers and have been enviously viewing all your posts as you set up your new classrooms. Unfortunately, not only does school not start here in Manitoba, Canada for over a month yet but I still have one year left in my Bachelor of Education so I don’t even have my own classroom yet! 🙁 So I’ve decided to show you what my dream classroom would be like through some of my favourite pins from Pinterest.
