@kingsleymalo My son was 2 when we first shut down. He is four now and we recently read a story that had a restaurant in it. We had to chat about what those are and what people did there as he had no schema for it at all. It's in these little moments that it hits me, Covid life is his normal.

Today the Premier encouraged schools to hold outdoor graduation events. This is impractical & unrealistic this late in the school year. Our full statement here. https://t.co/BLB5hJO4hc

Feels like a huge weight off of my shoulders.

Kids want to tell you about their lives.

They really do. Like, really. They want you to listen, to take interest, and to make comments about what they say. Do that. #RelationshipsMatter

It's unhelpful to tell a student you should have learned this last year. Or, you should already know this. Let's meet kids where they are, not where they should be.

Former Mississauga Mayor Hazel McCallion, who just turned 100, got her vaccine today.

Love this!

Once upon a classroom, I thought I gave students a voice. But it's not mine to give. I cannot give what they already own.

But I can give an ear. That is mine to give.

Student voice is already there. It's not something we give. It's something we honor. And we do when we listen.

@SarahFirth1981 Poor girl! Hope she is feeling better soon!

[Rachel Booker @RachelKBooker1]

@SarahFirth1981 @shane_plante Me too! I was hoping to work with you both again! Best of luck to you both! We got this!

Our new page of resources launches this morning - start your class with a "data talk"? They are so important for our students becoming data literate K-12 - and fun!

I've been thinking about the start of the year in math for kids. Here are some ideas that I hope can help you, knowing so much is already on your plate.

🚨Rainbow District School Board Chair calls out @Sflecce for “clear abdication of responsibility”

“By announcing the ‘unlocking’ of school board reserves, the Province ...has essentially downloaded its financial obligations for health & safety to school boards”

@jennhb5 @shane_plante @cbsac Excellent! Hopefully we will all be in the same cohort again.

Final draft of practicum proposal was approved today! PQP 1, Master's Dimension is officially complete! What an amazing experience. So grateful to work with such an amazing group of educators and a fabulous instructor @cbsac #OPCPQP

[Rachel Booker @RachelKBooker1]

@shane_plante @cbsac I felt the same way! Excited to start part 2 in the fall.
