#TreatiesRecognitionWeek is coming soon, and this looks like a great opportunity for educators to learn about two treaties covering lands in Halton Region. Darin Wybenga of @mcfirstnation is an acclaimed speaker, historian, and former elementary school educator. @HDSBIndigenous

On November 9 at 6:30 p.m. join Darin Wybenga, Traditional Knowledge and Land Use Coordinator of @mcfirstnation, for an illustrated history of the Mississaugas and the story behind treaties 14 & 22, which cover the land that Oakville now sits on. Details: https://t.co/ysMbjBMnIq

Excellent thread on the importance of not just wearing a helmet but ensuring it is correctly fitted. Also remember that helmets need to be replaced after one impact, and materials degrade over time so even a collision-free helmet needs replacing approx. every 5 years.

Once when I was young, around 8 or so, we had a garage sale. My siblings and I were killing time riding our bikes along the sidewalk and this guy stopped in. But he wasn't there to buy anything.

He went up to my mom, introduced himself and said he'd stopped because he saw us...

We all play a part in upholding #TRC Calls to Action & must hold ourselves accountable. In the words of @jessewente “We can’t rely on governments, institutions, or companies to do this work. Only we, the people, can and must solve this most human of problems." #EveryChildMatters

I highly recommend the book @AaronWardDene refers to in this thread - “21 Things You May Not Know About the Indian Act: Helping Canadians make reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples a reality.” Essential reading for all Canadians. Buy it here: https://t.co/cJWKf9wCDM

Welcome to our classroom. Let’s talk about how we want the room to look and how you would like to see yourself represented within the walls and on the walls of our shared learning space. Let’s do this together. Stay tuned….

@MeaghanBurden Nothing at all. Educators shouldn’t be commenting on children’s lunches, and they certainly shouldn’t be making value judgements such as labeling items as “unhealthy,” which only serves to make the child feel ashamed. Unfortunately, your child might encounter this nonetheless.

[Melissa Hanmer she/her🐴🌳🐝🌍 @MsHanmer]

Great idea for assignment sheets too!

[Melissa Hanmer she/her🐴🌳🐝🌍 @MsHanmer]

@marchioneem Me too! Summer time is pony time. Here’s Máni sporting a Cindy Lou Who look.

@Hertz Done! Thank you.

[Melissa Hanmer she/her🐴🌳🐝🌍 @MsHanmer]

@Hertz we are being asked to pay 42% in taxes on our rental car at PDX. We could have picked it up anywhere in Portland that is accessible by transit. We had no idea there was an additional charge to pick it up here. Your employee can’t transfer our reservation. Can you help us?

Thank you @BCentralSchool for a fabulous Spring Arts Festival!

Ms. Finkbeiner is the captain of our Viking Ship here at Rolling Meadows, and we couldn't be prouder! Congratulations on your well-deserved @HaltonDSB #InspireAward! Your dedication to the people in our learning community, both big and small, knows no bounds. 👏❤️🏫@OPCouncil

A belated #AprilFoolsDay post.

KF1 students invited Ms. Hanmer to visit their classroom. When they offered her a brownie, of course she said YES.

Guess what they gave her? A brown E!

They are still giggling about it a week later.
