This is insane. If you’re teaching virtually let’s do better. Everyone is adapting and parents are figuring it out just as much as we are. No judgement - if you’ve set “rules” like this, let’s make a pact to do better?!

We’ve sent home our weekly newsletter with information about our virtual Terry Fox Run! Thanks Ally Williams and team for including us! We’re so excited to participate Sept. 29 with other Virtual Elementary East grade 5s! Parents of 5-1FI & 5-3FI check your emails 💌 Mlle Shattler

major shout out to all my fellow Virtual Elementary East Virtual Elementary West Virtual Elementary North colleagues for getting through your first full week of Virtual Teaching! You are all AMAZING navigting the changes! HDSB Mental health check: one word to say how you feel after this week! HDSB Wellness for Staff

So many great discussions this #OrangeShirtDay We talked a lot about identity, the history of residential schools in Canada, and survivor stories with our insightful grade 5s Virtual Elementary East

So proud of 5-1FI & 5-3FIs respectful learning and conversation around #OrangeShirtDay2020 They worked in digital breakout groups to connect their ideas and understandings from our conversation today. We talked about identity, assimilation, and healing ♥️ Virtual Elementary East

Dear Teacher, If you’re doing your absolute best, you’re doing enough. Thank you for your effort and your heart. We’ve got this. #TeacherStong

All of them! 🙌🏼 I still get emotional when someone tells me they’ve read Monday’s not coming 😭

The best way to try to handle our difficult emotions and experiences is by focusing on what we can control. This month, we're encouraging everyone to focus on small steps to try to boost happiness. Take daily actions using the Action for Happiness calendar 👇🏿#positiveimpacts

My copy is on route ... been patiently waiting this pre order 🤞🏼 Any other friends reading it? Buddy read?!

Say it louder for the people in the back 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Dear educator friends! Just stopping by to say, if you haven’t come across this book written by Tiyahna Ridley Padmore - you need to add it to your personal collection & our classroom libraries. Rich Canadian black history is so important to consider when teaching this month

Love this Ms.G! Check out the new book I just posted about - you & your students will love it!

For real. 💯

“We are with the students”. Us students are actually well aware you aren’t and haven’t been for as long as you’ve been in government. I wrote my sentiments to the minister of education Stephen Lecce and I urge everyone to do the same. #Onted #OnPoli #IStandWithCUPE #ontedsolidarity
