From Michael's family: Michael is very poorly at the moment. Having spent a night in ICU, he is now doing "ok, stable, alert" and was able to go to a ward yesterday. Thank you very much for all your kind concern. Emma x @underthecranes@J0e_R0sen

@TeddyABearInWar@Bellmoore_HWDSB This story is our favourite read aloud in our library. We read it on Remembrance Day every year. Thank you for sharing this story. #NeverForget
Today we read one of my favourite stories - the true story of a little girl from Quebec who sends her teddy bear to fight in World War One to protect her father. We learned that the actual bear is on display at the War Museum in Ottawa. 🧸
“A Bear in War” inspired some deep learning about Remembrance Day in the library learning commons this week. Students asked rich questions and shared their ideas and thoughts in meaningful ways. #neverforget@Bellmoore_HWDSB
102 years ago in November, the Battle of #Passchendaele ended. In roughly 100 days there were over 600,000 fatalities on both sides. Flanders remembers.

@stjeanbrebeuf We have this book in our school library. It truly is an incredible story and if you ever have the chance to visit the @CanWarMuseum in Ottawa, you can see the real @TeddyABearInWar on display with the WW1 veteran's uniform that belonged to the girl's father 🍁
"For the unknown war dead, wherever they fell." The Unknown Warrior was buried at Westminster Abbey on November 11, 1920 - exactly 2 years after the end of #WorldWarOne. It is estimated over 1 million people came to see it within the first week of its unveiling.
