Two teachers virtual teaching from home today. We hear @gerrydee is popping into Google Meets today!?!? Ummm please pop in my husband’s class at 12:55pm! He LITERALLY is YOU! He looks the same, teaches the same + IS THE BIGGEST SPORTS FAN/coach!
Today solidified why we choose to start our day OUTSIDE! A toad joined us on our tree stumps + a K saw a tree frog on our window! Journaling, building habitats, creating tadpoles with play dough just happened! Why? Because the kids were engaged + facilitated the learning! #day1
The country stopped after the Humboldt bus accident, raised millions and put sticks on their porches. Rightfully so.
215 dead children should illicit, at minimum, the same national attention.
The idea that schools may open May 31 has been floated in the media. If this is the case when is the Minister going to inform educators, parents, and students? Friday, May 28th at 4pm???
Our virtual #Earthday was not quite the same as being in the forest with our #kindies. We tried to make the most of it by choosing fresh food to eat, picking up garbage, RRR, as well as thanking + talking to our house-plants! I miss our Outdoor Classroom! @kprearlyyears
Less than a week ago schools were safe... unmasked eating together for an hour a day. Today outdoor playgrounds are not safe?!?! I am sorry but everything you say means nothing anymore @fordnation. Children need to thrive and being outdoors is critical to their development!
What would I have announced today?
1. All retail open to 20% capacity.
2. Outdoor dining permitted.
3. Indoor dining capped at 10.
4. All schools, grade 7+, move online in areas with more than 80 weekly cases per 100,000.
5. All schools move online in areas with more than >100.

So, it’s not a “lock down”, it’s a “shut down”. And we’re in the gray zone. But gray is the new red, or partially? And we didn’t need to send the requested bag to school with our kids today to collect their shoes. And March break, in April, is still on. OK. Couldn’t be clearer.
Someone explain how it is okay for 30 kids to take their masks off, chomp on food + talk without any plexiglass twice daily (in a room that spaces them less than a metre apart). #thisisontarioeducation
