Happy Mother’s Day to all our moms and caring women in our lives! Thank you for all you do! 💕💕

It feels odd to have such a media savvy Education Minister completely forget to acknowledge teachers during #TeacherAppreciateWeek
I mean, he gave himself lots of shoutouts and had time for everything from McDonald’s drive thru to service dogs. 🤷🏾‍♂️

@Teachers__Unite Not only that, but it seems like the quality of our supplies has gone down so every year, we are given little money for things that don’t last like flimsy construction paper, duotangs that fall apart and paint that is watery and goes bad quickly. So we buy ourselves or go without

Know why Stephen Lecce wants us all talking about cell phones (again)?

So that we’re not talking about how harmful his latest funding formula is for our kids.

@ESL_fairy Using the end of a pencil to erase but there’s no eraser left…

Always fun to try to make skeletons in math class! Not always easy, but a good time. How many edges and vertices does your shape have? #mathdays

We had great fun learning about and working with clay on our trip to the Living Arts Centre Tuesday!

An art project we’ve been working on: layering watercolours to make fall trees. Incorporated lines and colour mixing to create these over the last few weeks. Great job everyone!
