@NPosegay @cam4palestine Thank you for sharing this story of organized and layered peaceful protest … that is making a difference! Your example is important! Congratulations! This has to be among the most personally moving things that you and so many others involved, have ever done.

[Marianne Whittaker @BuildLearning]

@JenSookfongLee @ecwpress @itscmwong I love your reading of it! Thank you!

[Marianne Whittaker @BuildLearning]

@EmilyAPaschall Please practice waiting your turn. And also doing what you are asked to do, with reinforcement (sometimes after the fact) about why that was necessary, helpful, and served a ‘bigger picture’.

@colbysharp Testing student understanding of self-selected reading has value. Students in my high school can read whatever they want. If a book doesn’t have an AR test, the student talks about it with library staff. AR is one tool that is used to encourage self-directed, independent reading.

Thanks for this reminder and your beautiful school leadership @Ms_St_Aubyn Have you heard this song by Jon Brooks - about the tragic treatment of Sgt Tommy Prince upon his return to Canada? Lest we forget. #Indigenousveteransday https://t.co/ysomcg5iAd

[Jonelle St. Aubyn @Ms_St_Aubyn]

On the announcements today I told the story of the heroic Tommy Prince and all he did for the war effort despite what it cost him personally. I honour him & other Indigenous veterans. I am grateful for their service. Lest we forget. #IndigenousVeteransDay
