Due to a wildfire, a section of Highway 8 near Miramichi is currently closed between Route 450 and Oldfield Road. Russellville Road and McHardy Road are also closed. Traffic is being diverted towards Neguac. Check https://t.co/MqGFIPA3yH or dial 511 for updates.
⚠️ The airspace around and over a wildfire is closed to all aircraft, including drones, except those directly involved in fighting fires.
If a drone is spotted in the area, emergency response teams need to ground their operations, which puts lives at risk.

@ShelfieTalk A8 If you loved "Giju's Gift" may I recommend "The Land of Os: John Ramsay" by David A. Robertson and "The Ballad of Nancy April," also by David A. Robertson.

@ShelfieTalk A5 Stories told and shared not only help to preserve cultural heritage, but sharing them in our classrooms also helps to empower the voices represented. #shelfietalk
@ShelfieTalk A4 Having a pronunciation guide seems to enhance the cultural significance of a story. Learning correct pronunciation gives insight into cultural nuances and leads to a deeper, more caring connection to language. #shelfietalk
@ShelfieTalk A3 Pages 59-61 stay with me... A reminder of "that" moment where simply seeing or touching an item can transport me back to a specific moment in time. #shelfietalk
@ShelfieTalk A2 What continues to resonate is how important it is to hold onto memories... whether we are gathering items or holding space for inherited memories. #shelfietalk
@ShelfieTalk A7 books can provide a lens to see situations through the eyes of a character. Sometimes adults can become far-removed and forget what it felt like to seek acceptance and belonging. #Shelfietalk
@ShelfieTalk A5 It reminds me that everyone needs to feel love and acceptance, to feel like they belong. If reminds me of the importance of working hard to ensure that all of my students feel like they belong... In our school and in my classroom. #shelfietalk
@sarahmahar2@ShelfieTalk I loved that as well....a great example of how we can each tell our story in different ways. Just like our stories are unique, we can share them in unique ways. #shelfietalk
@ShelfieTalk A2 What contributes to resonate with me is how relatable and believable these characters are. Even when the character lives on a different planet, I could still relate to that feeling of exploring where I fit within the construct of a family or a community. #shelfietalk
@ShelfieTalk A1 Today I Am is a collection of thought-provoking stories that explore the concept of belonging. Young people in the stories seek to find their "place" in their world. #shelfietalk
@Shelfietalk
Thank you #Shelfietalk for, once again, inspiring conversation and connection. The Heart-Centered Teacher by Regie Routman is one that I will re-read and pass along to colleagues. 🩵
A8 My current reading that is "like oxygen" tends to be fantasy that displaces me into fantastical realms. My current faves are Sarah Maas and Jennifer Armentrout. Note: these are NOT books that I will "book talk" with my young readers 😂 #shelfietalk
@ShelfieTalk A5 Build joy by providing time to read independent choices and access to literature in many forms. Encourage a lot of book talk -- self-directed conversations and book clubs to discuss the great literature we are reading. #shelfietalk
@ShelfieTalk A2 I used to think that building relationships with students and colleagues can be challenging because it consumes so much time and energy, but now I think that creating a culture of love and trust is, perhaps, the only thing that matters. #shelfietalk
@ShelfieTalk A1 ... A culture of storytelling. I love how Reggie then weaves her own stories throughout to build relationships with her readers. 2/2 #shelfietalk
