We are grade 5/6 class from Westvale Public School in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. We have just started to use Twitter to connect and learn from the wider world.

@Sflecce Why do educators not have restrictions about working in more than one location l, like staff at long-term care facilities had in the spring? It only makes sense, especially since we learned from the disaster that occurred then.

[MrBaileys56 @Bailey8J]

COVID plans and the worrisome missed opportunity. https://t.co/sS4TjaIxXI

What can we as professionals, parents, and students do to encourage a shift toward a better plan?

@570traffic Why hasn't the WRPS closed Hwy 8 at the 401?

[MrBaileys56 @Bailey8J]

@570traffic Updates? Need to know how to get off and put of this mess.

[MrBaileys56 @Bailey8J]

@WRPS_Traffic major backup on Hwy 8 WB cross the river! Need to get traffic diverted into Gateway area and along King St. People are backing down the highway and the ramps.

RIP to Sir Ken Robinson, an eloquent and indefatigable defender of the role of the arts and creativity in education. His TED talks made him famous, and he wrote major books on creativity in 2001 and 2015. Robinson was knighted in 2003. He died yesterday; his voice will be missed.

@mrslasclass So sorry to learn of your loss. Your Dad was a terrific man, so generous and welcoming.

I just donated to the CBC Defence fund. You should too.

FRIENDS is taking this opportunity to ensure our public broadcaster is not just protected but revitalized. Please chip in what you can. - via @friendscb https://t.co/PKuF5dexPn

Totally predictable act to erode public confidence in public education.

Another attempt from @fordnation to break the teachers union. Again....Doug Ford doesn’t care about kids. This is all political to him. https://t.co/ML88zMQw9L @Sflecce #onted #etfo #osstf @lparkpc @Sflecce #Covid_19 #Coronavirus #COVID19 #onpoli @claringtontruth

@mrslasclass Congratulations to you for this achievement!

[MrBaileys56 @Bailey8J]

A challenge in many ways: child care during days not in school; requirement of parents to monitor and support schooling at home; two parallel learning programs to plan and deliver; demands on K-8+ students to be organized coming and going to school.

Below is our proposed elementary plan scenarios for the 2020-21 school year.

Congratulations to all our #WRDSB graduating students. We are so proud of you and everything you have accomplished! 🎉🎓 #WRDSBgrad

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

Today the government released the details of their new math curriculum and their plan to rush it into classrooms this fall. Implementing a new curriculum takes time, particularly in the midst of a pandemic. Read the full #ETFO release https://t.co/8dvbBCuFRl #onpoli

[MrBaileys56 @Bailey8J]

I share the concerns of @ESL_fairy. High stress levels related to the anticipated second wave of COVID-19, confusion surrounding the multiple reopening scenarios, and the lack of quality professional development are three key reasons to delay new curricula.

[Kimiko Shibata 🦋 @ESL_fairy]

As a parent, I have concerns about my child being taught a brand new math curriculum by a teacher who will not have had sufficient time or training to properly implement it... you know, while they’re also prepping for 3 different teaching/learning scenarios for the Fall. #OntEd

Terrible moment in Canadian history. Let's encourage everyone to honour the victims and their families.

[Justin Trudeau @JustinTrudeau]

Thirty-five years ago today, a bomb exploded on Air India Flight 182. 329 people were killed. Today, we remember the victims and stand in solidarity with all those who lost a loved one in this heinous act. You are in my thoughts today.
