@drrobinbright @sharonpe16 @ULethbridgeEdu Got any Lego in your classroom? Challenge them to build something that includes all the simple machines, and explain it to you. If not, minecraft is an option, there is an Education edition. and PhET has lots of simulations to check out.

Teachers are awesome! And so are the school personnel and administrators. Thanks for the care you demonstrate to Alberta's Children, always, and particularly this year.

Systemic racism: is telling racialized communities that work for institutions that they can’t publicly speak about instances related to race, w/o first having those statements reviewed & approved by a hierarchical “leader” that doesn’t look like or understand you or your culture.
