#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

Way to go Vikings!! Our flag football team won the Kilbride Cup today! It’s the first time in 20 years that ROM has won the title! So proud of you Vikings #govikings
Jacey masterfully integrates environmental stewardship into the teaching and learning in her classroom. I couldn’t imagine a more deserving recipient of this award. Congrats, @msjaceyjones! @TecumsehHDSB

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.

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: goodminds.com/products/97809…

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….
Great idea for assignment sheets too!

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.

Happy #SnowDay everyone!
ALT Frog knocked at Toad’s door. “Toad, wake up,” he cried. “Come out and see how wonderful the winter is!” “I will not, said Toad. “I am in my warm bed.” Tweet by @Frogandtoadbot
Today is #GivingTuesday! I just donated to @uhnfoundation’s Honour Your Hero program. My hero is the fierce and fabulous @FilioBillia @UHNTransplant, whose strength and caring got our family through some tough times post-transplant. Thank you Dr. Billia!
At 7pm on Nov. 29, 2018, Dr. Cusimano arrived to take my dad in for his heart transplant. He took this photo of my family. We were so happy! Are you a registered organ donor? Check your status here: beadonor.ca. #GiftofLife @TrilliumGift @UHNTransplant #GivingTuesday
Three years ago today the @UHNTransplant team gathered outside my dad’s room to give him the news that he was finally getting a new heart. #GivingTuesday2021 is coming up on the 30th. Give the #GiftofLife by becoming a registered organ donor. @TrilliumGift beadonor.ca

Kindergarten educators are geniuses. I asked, “why are you squirting two different things into their hands at once?” Answer: one is a spray of water, the other is a drop of soap. Kids scrub while seated, and are sent to the sink to rinse after showing their bubble-covered hands🧵

A personal anecdote about de-streaming in #OntEd. A thread.
We grew up in a rough neighbourhood near Malvern. My brothers and I attended an elementary school where "behavioural issues" were commonplace and teachers spent a great deal of instructional time addressing them. [1/11]
#brakeforturtles! My daughter spotted this snapping turtle trying to cross the road. I picked it up safely and moved it across in the direction it was travelling. ontarionature.org/how-you-ca…
It felt SO GOOD to see those kids enjoying a co-curricular today. The positive energy was palpable; the absolute JOY of this small return to normalcy. #FeelGoodFriday
