Conversations are happening. This generation is more aware. History will not repeat itself. Thoughts from grade 1/2 #215children @infoAlexandraPS #tldsblearns

@9Owens @TheOil_baron @charlesadler I’m sorry to be clear in absolutely no way am I attempting to make excuses-absolutely not. My intent was trying to point out that the Catholics are not the only ones to blame here. There were many parties involved with the running or res schools let’s not lose sight of that.

[Kate Ferguson @KFergello]

@NaheedD I think it says more about the lasting harm res schools have had on the indigenous culture than it does about the role of CAS.

[Kate Ferguson @KFergello]

Just a short 6yrs prior to me sitting in that class. Never should res school have happened but learning it didn’t end until 1996?! That is NOT okay. Everyone in society knew better. Our 🇨🇦gov’t failed us all horrifically. 😡😥... 2/2 #consequences ? #thisisnotokay #215children

[Kate Ferguson @KFergello]

In 2002 I was enrolled in a social studies course at UWO where I learned most of what I knew (prior to last week) about res schools. The info presented to us was shared as though it took place many years ago - Never was it disclosed that the last res school closed in 1996 ...1/2

We have a free resource that helps one understand about the Indian Residential School System here: https://t.co/DxqbMpPxeL

I can’t even begin to imagine the pain people are feeling right now. I am SO sorry. Today I learned the last residential school closed in 1996 - WHAT?!!! Canada, I expected more from you.

Coolest teacher technology trick I learned this year?

Adding the dash (-) between the “t” and “u” of any YouTube video and it takes away the ads and all of that. It’s super cool and makes the video less tacky.

@KaylaChowShow “The things we say now!”

[Kate Ferguson @KFergello]

@TLDSBThompson an interesting fact after our discussion today

[Leigh Fettes @lcfettes]

Something seemingly so small (yet carefully and explicitly taught) can have a huge impact on reading outcomes. That’s a lot of potential bang for our buck if done properly.

[Kate Ferguson @KFergello]

@lcfettes What resource is this from ? Tia

[Vickita @vickitabhatt]

The pandemic is being used to cover cuts and push a hybrid model of teaching in public education. We must push back. This model expects workers to teach both online and in person at the same time. Why is this dangerous? 1/

@mstamp36 Good to know ! It seems to be gaining traction on my list!

[Kate Ferguson @KFergello]

Attn PLN if you were a primary teacher and had $75 to spend on any teaching resource, what would you buy? Comment below! #tldsblearns

[Kate Ferguson @KFergello]

@StebbinsLisa I just got one a couple months ago! Thanks for the suggestion.

[Kate Ferguson @KFergello]

Friends in gr 1/2 did a wonderful job co-constructing this Haiku today. Can't wait to see the poems they write about themselves...@infoAlexandraPS

[Kate Ferguson @KFergello]

@TLDSBThompson Wow! That’s a legit set up!
