It is Orange Shirt Day to honour the Residential School survivors and the children who were lost. Here is a thread on what you and your family can do today to make reconciliation a reality! Start reading the TRC Calls to Action and pick some to work on.

Really feeling for all my fellow educators scrambling to find childcare for their own children before Monday. Or, trying to figure out a way to support their own young child in remote learning while simultaneously teaching all day. 😳

Une belle idée #EDBE8F75 très modifiable https://t.co/9t6jpjOD5i

@pasanpr Guaranteed M or M put it in a weird drawer somewhere 👍🏼

[Virginia Tooker @brownvl3]

@kylefowle Yes, but I think the message is aimed at the outbreaks stemming from house parties (Ottawa for example)

[Professor Carol Campbell @CarolCampbell4]

Experiences of re-opening schools shows critical factor # of #COVID19 cases locally, community spread, r rate, testing & tracing. With each phase of re-opening, spread is likely. I'd like to go out for dinner but will happily forego to ensure safe school re-opening #OntEd #OnPoli

[Virginia Tooker @brownvl3]

@kylefowle I agree. I find it’s the mindset of individuals with and without children. Those without don’t have to think of the potential ramifications.

[Virginia Tooker @brownvl3]

@kylefowle Use cookie cutters to make fun shapes or kid food picks to stack his food like a kebob. It makes it more fun and interactive.

[Virginia Tooker @brownvl3]

@kylefowle I follow some child-based nutrition experts on Instagram - here are some tips we like. offer 3-5 different things for meals, including something you know they love, something they usually like, and something they’re learning to like. Make meals fun- it’s more work but use...

@kylefowle Me, twice this week 😕

[Virginia Tooker @brownvl3]

@kylefowle Same. And why don’t more people wear masks?

[Virginia Tooker @brownvl3]

@kylefowle I don’t wear socks at home even if there is no pandemic

[Virginia Tooker @brownvl3]

Relatable

[Claire Potter 🇺🇸 @TenuredRadical]

BREAKING NEWS: I have been feeling unwell the last two days - tired, headache, foggy brain. I have been concerned about COVID infection, but it was hard to imagine how: we have been so careful.

I just discovered 5 minutes ago that I HAVE BEEN MAKING DECAF COFFEE FOR 2 DAYS.

@kylefowle Oh. That’s incredibly frustrating 😐

[Virginia Tooker @brownvl3]

@kylefowle Was it really busy?
