Today, January 14, marks the celebration of Thai Pongal, a Tamil harvest festival. Overflowing rice, or pongal, symbolizes abundance and prosperity. This harvest festival, akin to Canadian Thanksgiving, gives thanks to the sun and other natural elements for a good harvest. @tdsb

Bharatha Natyam is a Tamil classical dance-drama in which the language of hand gestures and body movements is used to convey meaning and expression. This ancient dance form stems back to a period when dances were performed in great temples. #THM @tdsb

Did you know that the Dravidian language family consists of the four major literary languages of Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and Telugu? These languages are linked and branched off at different periods of time, with Malayalam having the closest link to Tamil. #THM @tdsb

Great opportunity to learn more about #FNIM history and perspective. There’s so much to learn and we need to do better. It’s free so no excuses! #indigenous #reconciliation

Thanks @msjzhang for sharing examples of the amazing work our 6/7 combined class did based on their individual inquiry about climate change. Student voice and agency was present from day one for these change-makers. @LC3_TDSB #MacklinSummer2020 #proudteacher

[Ms. Zhang @MsJZhang]

As @TDSB_ConEd summer school comes to an end this week, I’m extremely proud of our students for engaging in the problem-solving process and becoming climate change makers. They came up with so many ways to affect change. #inquiry @Macklinsummers1 @tdsb @LC3_TDSB #TDSBsummer2020

[Dilini Selliah @DiliniSelliah]

So proud of our summer learning at Macklin. We had a great group of engaged students who wanted to be change-makers and a great team of teachers to collaborate and co-teach with. @LC3_TDSB @MsCSawh @MsJZhang #teamworkmakesthedreamwork

[Ms. Zhang @MsJZhang]

Take a moment to learn the key differences. Equity work is multilayered:
