I realized what had happened. One of my students had written this on the papers of her classmates as encouragement when she helped me collect their work. This simple act brought tears to me eyes. This is our future. Kind, thoughtful, and loving children.
1/2) I haven't tweeted in a really long time. But you all need to see this. I was marking my grade 12 chemistry assignments and say this comment on one students paper "proud of you". I then noticed it was on all of them.

If after today's @fordnation cabinet MTG it is decided that schools close for 2 wks, PLZ consider the many students in marginalized communities. They don't have tech, they may not have a stable internet connection, and cutbacks to the economy will directly affect their families.
@ocsbequity We give them a computer, their internet doesn't work. We give them a hub, the hub can't support 2 or 3 devices simultaneously. Their parents aren't at home to support... Their parents also need support. How do we lessen this burden for our @OttCatholicSB community?
@ocsbequity after @fordnation & @Sflecce announcement will there be directives from our board leaders in regards to how students in marginalized communities are to be successful in this model? What about their accessibility, their learning environments, their support systems?
My💔is broken. We can do better! @OttCatholicSB@ocsbequity@OCSBSuccess HOW do we help our engagement communities move forward through this, who simply cannot "pivot" successfully to a virtual platform. Secondary students should not fail because the system is failing them.
My dreams came true this Christmas. I finally made a big enough impact on a student to receive this heartfelt ornament from them for my Christmas tree. Teaching is my passion and I am so happy that I can make a difference every day! Merry Christmas everyone!
Today, @MsKatFollis made @StPatricksOCSB proud! Since we exceeding our fundraising expectations for the Christmas campaign, Ms. Follis biked for 6 hours, ~180km in the atrium for all our entertainment Thank you for all your efforts in motivating our students every day! Way to go!

This is great! But my heart sinks a little when I remember that education staff were not prioritized ... At all... Education is more than delivering curriculum content. Anyone else worried about the mental health epidemic that is going to come next for our youth?

When your kids can't go to school and do labs for themselves - you have to go into the lab yourself and do the demos so they can see real science! #iamstpats@StPatricksOCSB
@AmySymes @StPatricksOCSB I'm blushing! I'd rather them do it themselves and be in class with me! But we have to keep those kiddos safe and the best we can for their learning!
