In response to 1 Million March 4 Children protests that are scheduled to take place across Canada, ETFO strongly condemns anti-2SLGBTQ+ protests.
Any actions or events that seek to undermine the rights and dignity of the 2SLGBTQ+ community must be denounced. #onpoli#onted
I noticed on my 14 year-old’s report card that all of her teachers used they/them pronouns in their comments. Turns out the whole school did this to be inclusive and thoughtful to all. Such a small but powerful change.
A big shout out to all the kids who didn’t win an award, make honor roll, and barely made it through the school year. A big hug to the moms, dads, grandparents, caregivers, and foster parents that stuck by them as they maneuvered the school year.
For all those - Just GOING to school is a BIG accomplishment.
To the kids that didn’t get invited to the prom, didn’t get a scholarship to college, and perhaps have to go straight to work out of high school....you are still worthy of a pat on the back and a Facebook post with people talking about how amazing you are.
Some kids have to work twice as hard as other students just to get a C. Their achievements deserve recognition.
Don’t forget those kids.
Kindness, creativity, and generosity....those attributes sadly don’t get the accolades they deserve.
It's May half-term, which means that I have two copies of The Art and Science of Teaching Primary Reading to give away.
Just **retweet** this tweet for your chance to win a copy.
Lecturer Andrew Deman and his family have installed red dresses as a symbolic way to recognize this day. This installation can be viewed on the SJU Campus in Alumni Court. The Office of Indigenous Relations at Waterloo is hosting a commemoration ceremony: https://t.co/rokTR3CRYE
Dear Parents, If there is a violent student in your child's class do not call the principal & blame the new teacher, call the superintendent, Trustee, MPP & Minister of Education and tell them how the lack of mental health supports, and classroom supports is affecting your child.
It's the Easter holidays (for many), so I have two copies of The Art and Science of Teaching Primary Reading to give away.

Sometimes we just need a chance for success... After a couple rough days, a student let us know that they are staying with a family member while parents are away. Today he took a couple breaks in a quiet space and showed off his amazing 🧩 skills
What does stressed feel like to you? What about peaceful? Lonely focused? The more you feel your feelings, the easier they are to sort and understand.
Emotions Matter and this visual is helpful to one AND all!!

Every teacher & caregiver of a child who struggles to read should watch this film (under 20 min): https://t.co/6x71R0MH6Y
I want to be that mom who doesn’t give up, who believes, who makes a difference.
Merci @joleigh_snow for sharing. It’s now my turn to share it with others.
Thinking about the return to classes. This article, shared by a colleague, is a great reminder that everyone's holiday experience is different. https://t.co/4IowNrtGx4
Sikh children now have the option of wearing a helmet that fits them properly, thanks to a Brampton mom. Tina Singh, an occupational therapist, couldn't find a suitable helmet for her boys, so she's created her own. https://t.co/SPUeI9lgNv
It's that time of year again...
I have *two* copies of The Art and Science of Teaching Primary Reading to give away.
Simply *retweet this tweet* for your chance to win a copy. Good luck!
A week or so ago I share this moment in UFLI’s Facebook page…@UFLiteracy
Today I thought I would share it here.
By the way this student was a 5th grader…
Every week, I send a little note home to parents/caregivers to let them know what their child has been working on with me. Kids LOVE to “show what they know”!🤩
I’ve included pronunciation hints, too, for non-French families! A small gesture with a big impact. @RideauPS_LDSB
