Macklin Public School is celebrating Islamic Heritage #IHM TDSB LC3

A procession like no other all for a #Toronto #teacher who worked 31 years at the same school. Meet the man and see the look on his face when he’s surprised CTV News Toronto in a few minutes.

Today, on Tamil Genocide Remembrance Day, we mark the anniversary of the end of the war in Sri Lanka and honour the innocent people who lost their lives and the many who were displaced. We also recognize that today is a day of trauma and grief for Toronto’s Tamil community.

Culturally relevant pedagogy + math + climate change. Ss collected data on their cultural practices that already reduce their carbon footprint. Then they graphed &compared how much they have in common across their various backgrounds TDSB Continuing Education Department TDSB LC3 #inclusive #summerschool

So proud of our summer learning at Macklin. We had a great group of engaged students who wanted to be change-makers and a great team of teachers to collaborate and co-teach with. TDSB LC3 𝕄𝕤. 𝕊𝕒𝕨𝕙 🕊🦁🐑 Ms. Zhang #teamworkmakesthedreamwork

Did you know that Tamil has been identified as a classical language? Other classical languages include Hebrew, Chinese, Arabic and Greek. In 2004, Tamil was declared a classical language of India by UNESCO. Toronto District School Board

Did you know that Bharatha Natyam is a Tamil classical dance-drama in which the language of hand gestures and body movements is used to convey meaning and expression? This ancient dance form stems back to a period when dances were performed in great temples. Toronto District School Board
