As teachers it is extremely important to understand that we need to make the classroom feel like an open and safe space. Meaning that students even the little ones can voice their own opinions on topics. As well as the ability to approach topics that can sometimes be very touchy to some people. Teacher Tools are such a blessing! They are beyond helpful because they can help easily plan and design activities and lessons plans with ease!

+ Teaching handwriting has always been a nice tool. Teaching the Cree, Metis, and so many more First Nations languages would be a very helpful tool. Especially in the sense of learning on how to spell and use the indigenous letters.
+ Podcasts can also be another handy tool to use in the classroom. More often than not a podcast can teach more than a movie.
+ Learning for Justice is a website, that does a great job of providing teachers with easy ways to bring topics of social justice into the classroom.
This Teacher Tools resource bar is something I will consistently be adding to throughout my teaching career.
