@RickKunc @KCSMatters Best!

[Allison Macrae @macrae_allison]

@RickKunc @KCSMatters @afanjoy Our quiet students. Give them lots of wait time 😝

[Allison Macrae @macrae_allison]

@afanjoy Can’t wait!!!!

[Allison Macrae @macrae_allison]

@Think_teach @teach_tomorrow @RickKunc @afanjoy @EverybodySci Yes pls! 👍🤞

[Allison Macrae @macrae_allison]

⁦⁦@teach_tomorrow⁩. This is our approach at KCS. We are working on this & learning everyday. A system for students to record feedback is an excellent idea. Any suggestions for best practice ?⁦@RickKunc⁩ ⁦@afanjoy⁩ ⁦@EverybodySci⁩ https://t.co/e7Ru0HaWnK

What needs to linger in your curriculum after this year? A great way to prioritize our planning as we head into hybrid learning with so much uncertainty. #cohort21 #kcs @trayc4teach @AmyGreig1 @leaperrr

C21 - filling my bucket this morning. I always love this visual. Takes away any pressure to make change! #cohort21 #KCS

What the world needs more than sympathy and empathy is compassion.

Sympathy: I'm sorry you're in pain
Empathy: I feel your pain
Compassion: I'll do whatever I can to alleviate your pain

You don't have to feel other people's feelings. You just have to care about their feelings.

@halliekcs @KCSMatters Haha! My lunch was delish! (Without any olives 🥰)

[Allison Macrae @macrae_allison]

Touring the new @KCSMatters senior school with our grade 9 cohort! Couldn’t be more excited. @RickKunc @afanjoy

@Ohtobesix @Mona58809528 @NYGH_News @VaxHuntersCan Do we have an update? Is it moving soon? Do they have lots of doses ?

[Allison Macrae @macrae_allison]

Couldn’t agree more.

How might we keep schools a place of hope, inspiration and happiness during these next 8 weeks? #cohort21

Reach out to anyone you know (in education and otherwise) to tell them they’ve got this and it’s going to be ok!

[Hal Hannaford @HalHannaford]

A call (and plea) to parents to do whatever they can to help motivate all teachers to provide that extra effort during the last 8 weeks of school. You can start by showing empathy and demonstrating your intense respect. Parent power can begin by loving teachers.

[Allison Macrae @macrae_allison]

@VaxHuntersCan any word on openings in Hamilton, Ontario?

[Allison Macrae @macrae_allison]

@teach_tomorrow I was just doing this exercise with my kiddo. She’s so sad and needed this. ❤️

[Allison Macrae @macrae_allison]

@samwelbourn1 Love this. “Trust yourself” ❤️

@tdsb_FernAvePS hoping for a September that focuses on well-being and relationships. Love the imagery of a colander to decipher essential skills and curriculum paired with our focus on relationships.

@Cohort21 Spending so much time cooking and cleaning up. Why does it seem like there are so many more meals in a day now? #cohort21

[Allison Macrae @macrae_allison]

@Cohort21 A4: I feel calmer. I have had more time to reconnect with myself as I am not racing around all day. Less pressure from the outside world to be a certain way or accomplish a certain something. We don't have many choices now, which in a way brings a more peaceful day. #cohort21

[Allison Macrae @macrae_allison]

@jennbairos @Cohort21 I agree. I have heard many people say "it is ok, to not be ok". I have also changed the expectations I have for my kids. I can't do all this alone, so buckle up and get the mop! They're very appreciative of that. HA. #cohort21
