WE USED SCHOOL RULES, A BEHAVIOUR CHART AND STICKERS ON ADULTS - HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED
(Written by Hanna, Clinical Psychologist at Spectrum Gaming)
This year we tried out a new activity as part of the Autism in Schools train the trainer project.

Teachers, it's not unprofessional/weak to be tired, to feel like you are running on empty, or already burned out. It is unprofessional for you to ignore all of that & to continue to put yourself last. Take care of yourself! Rest and refuel your mind, body, and soul this weekend!
Robert De Niro’s full statement on Trump. Please read and let me know your thoughts:
I’ve spent a lot of time studying bad men. I’ve examined their characteristics, their mannerisms, the utter banality of their cruelty. Yet there’s something different about Donald Trump. When I look at him, I don’t see a bad man. Truly.
I see an evil one.
Over the years, I’ve met gangsters here and there. This guy tries to be one, but he can’t quite pull it off. There’s such a thing as “honor among thieves.” Yes, even criminals usually have a sense of right and wrong. Whether they do the right thing or not is a different story — but — they have a moral code, however warped.
Donald Trump does not. He’s a wannabe tough guy with no morals or ethics. No sense of right or wrong. No regard for anyone but himself — not the people he was supposed to lead and protect, not the people he does business with, not the people who follow him, blindly and loyally, not even the people who consider themselves his “friends.” He has contempt for all of them.
We New Yorkers got to know him over the years that he poisoned the atmosphere and littered our city with monuments to his ego. We knew first hand that this was someone who should never be considered for leadership. We tried to warn the world in 2016.
The repercussions of his turbulent presidency divided America and rattled New York City beyond imagination. Remember how we were jolted by crisis in early 2020, as a virus swept the world. We lived with Donald Trump’s bombastic behavior every day on the national stage, and we suffered as we saw our neighbors piling up in body bags.
The man who was supposed to protect this country put it in peril, because of his recklessness and impulsiveness. It was like an abusive father ruling the family by fear and violent behavior. That was the consequence of New York’s warning getting ignored. Next time, we know it will be worse.
Make no mistake: the twice-impeached, 4-time indicted Donald Trump is still a fool. But we can’t let our fellow Americans write him off like one. Evil thrives in the shadow of dismissive mockery, which is why we must take the danger of Donald Trump very seriously.
So today we issue another warning. From this place where Abraham Lincoln spoke — right here in the beating heart of New York — to the rest of America:
This is our last chance.
Democracy won’t survive the return of a wannabe dictator.
And it won’t overcome evil if we are divided.
So what do we do about it? I know I’m preaching to the choir here. What we’re doing today is valuable, but we have to take today into tomorrow – take it outside these walls. We have to reach out to the half of our country who have ignored the hazards of Trump and, for whatever reason, support elevating him back into the White House. They’re not stupid, and we must not condemn them for making a stupid choice. Our future doesn’t just depend on us. It depends on them.
Let’s reach out to Trump’s followers with respect. Let’s not talk about “democracy.” “Democracy” may be our holy grail, but to others it is just a word, a concept, and in their embrace of Trump, they’ve already turned their backs on it. Let’s talk about right and wrong. Let’s talk about humanity. Let’s talk about kindness. Security for our world. Safety for our families. Decency. Let’s welcome them back. We won’t get them all, but we can get enough to end the nightmare of Trump, and fulfill the mission of this “Stop Trump Summit.”

Did anyone else notice that the MB provincial government just denied its own citizens of a holiday whilst giving it to itself, and also included instructions on what the rest of us should do to observe the event whilst we are at work?

Update: @GovCanHealth has approved Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine for kids between the ages of 5 and 11 - and 2.9 million doses are scheduled to arrive in Canada next week. That means, in a matter of days, we’ll have enough doses for every eligible child to get their first shot.

Thank you to my wife and daughters for all your support. Family, friends and the hockey world has kept me on the right path. I lead by example to stop one cycle and start a new cycle for our indigenous communities. The best is yet to come !!!

No matter how late she stayed after school, the Winnipeg teacher (now on stress leave) said she never could keep up #mbed https://t.co/Gru0IKR5Eu
Not certain enough can be said about how enormous my admiration is for teachers and school staff. What you're doing is incredible and someone might not remind you of that every day and even if we did it doesn't eliminate the stress but just know you're for real f'n amazing.
