"This is the first book I have read that I don't want to stop. Why do you have to make me stop?!"
Music to my ears. @McHughEduCentre #ocsbEnglish

Some of our @McHughEduCentre NBE students getting ready to watch a live stream presentation by David Buffalo. Thank you for arranging this for us @Macbouch
What a Monday: I'm in my 2nd Zoom of the night with @pennykittle (is this a whole new level of fandom?). We just finished a session re: 4 Essential Studies & now we're in a session for the reveal of this year's @booklove4life book club books! ❤️

My SK'er came home from school telling me her class "wrote a note to @JustinTrudeau because some children do not have clean water! Can you even believe it?!" She genuinely expects to get a response from the PMO.
The kids are alright and I'm filled with hope for the future. ❤️

I have spent almost $3500 at @OctopusBooks in the past couple of months and I love that a local, independent bookstore can get us all of our @McHughEduCentre PD books as well as novels and other works for our classrooms. ❤️ ($ from grants & school budgets thanks @BarbaraMcinnes)
BAM! Hey @klewis_prieur I spent almost every last cent of my #LIFT2022 budget! My @McHughEduCentre students and I are LOVING all the new books, and soon they'll be going home to share with their littles. (Safe to say spending 💲 is my superpower 😂)

Thank you @SarahMZerwin I love your book and hearing from you first hand added even more to our #ocsbGoingGradeless? study. Leaving PD with ideas to try tomorrow is hands down THE BEST. Thanks @ErinPelhamDoak @MariluDeal for organizing ❤️📚
8:00am "before school" Dr appointment seemed like a good idea when it was booked a few months ago... The ❄️ was an added challenge, but we made it home in time to check-in to her online class and then start her homework of playing in the snow and writing a sentence about it. ❤️

Saw this floating around online and needed to share. Credit to the creator (unknown).
Someday we'll be back to a point where we can resume usual "book order" right? ❤️
OMG a retweet from @CHEO Now if I can get a retweet from @Kevin__Parent & @OttawaHealth my day will be made! (Bruce @VancityReynolds too?)
(I have been a social media & comms fan of Kevin & OPH since pre-pandemic. I use their tweets in my HS English classes all the time!). 🤞🏻❤️
Hey #OttCity, we know it's been a long week. Chances are, you could use something to smile about - and there's nothing like spontaneous art from kids to bring joy! Thanks to all the families who are adding to this fun display outside Brewer 💜

Spontaneous art happening @OttawaHealth @CHEO Brewer test site. People are putting their "no test needed" stickers on this sign as they leave. My daughter added mine after getting her test. I love this sort of thing. ❤️
Honoured to be able to attend a @McHughEduCentre student's Citizenship Ceremony today. Special thanks to my MP @Yasir_Naqvi's team who tried to get me access to the whole thing, but this will do. Seeing these happy new 🇨🇦s is amazing. #ocsbCelebrates @OttCatholicSB
Finally! I have been skipping many events (like our upcoming staff x-mas party) out of fear of bringing something home to my littles. It will be a long time before things go back to 'normal' but this will help make things less risky... I hope!
UPDATE | Ontario is opening vaccination booking for kids age 5 to 11 on Tuesday at 8 a.m. ET. Shots can begin as early as Thursday depending on deliveries.
Kids who are turning five by the end of 2021 can get vaccinated.

This was the BEST email to receive this morning. This student worked so hard to study and prep for the test. WE are the lucky ones to have her and her family here in 🇨🇦. #ocsbBeCommunity

These are amazing! That baby and I have the same thought... 🤯 Thanks for being so creative and sharing with us @mrs_nesrallah
My students made math memes to consolidate their learning about the properties of angles and they crack me up! #ocsbmath #jerpride

My @McHughEduCentre colleagues are THE BEST! They kept interrupting my @CEFOttawa presentation to offer more prizes for donations! Any McHugh'er who donates will be entered into both our school based & the @OttCatholicSB board based draws! #gererosity #McHughGives
