One week later, and I am still thinking about @researchEDCan! Such a pleasure to see you again, @MmeLockhartLDSB, and I can't wait to dive into @natwexler's #KnowledgeMatters podcast on my commute this week!

#FSL educators! Check out these NEW read alouds by Phyllis Webstad! They are appropriate for learning about the meaning of #OrangeShirtDay. We all need to learn the truth about #Cdn history, understand the wrongs & ensure a positive future. #EveryChildMatters@AllenbyPS_TDSB 🧡
