As Pride week begins let’s remember that Pride started as a riot! Let’s honour Marsha P. Johnson & all the others in the past and currently for standing up to police brutality, homophobia & transphobia. It’s more than raising a flag - it’s intentional work everyday, every school

We used @Minecraft Education to explore regions of Canada. Ss built mines, farmlands, and the Northern Lights. Along with their biome, they wrote paragraphs welcoming a newcomer to their physical region. #MinecraftEdu #edutwitter @PlayCraftLearn ⛏🌲🏔

As requested by Twitter friends, I am sharing the link to the 10 Days resource. A special thanks to the Lead Teacher Team @EvergreenCSSD and my pals at @eips canva.com/design/DAEqNXQmGgw…
A gift from my gr1/2 student on the very #firstdayofschool “This is for you Ms. Xavier!” I felt calm, peaceful & it added glitter & sparkle to my day. I hope this loving piece does the same to you & to the rest of your school year 💗✨. @TDSB_NMPPS @EarlyYearsTDSB

It’s been a heavy weekend. As we start this week I ask that @tdsb educators to engage with @UIEC_Tdsb to ensure that you do this work in culturally safe & trauma-informed ways as to not unintentionally perpetuate colonial violence & harm - this work is not about saving the day
What makes you feel calm? Ss created #almawoodseythomas inspired abstract art. @TDSB_NMPPS @EarlyYearsTDSB
Ss use their strong voices to hold government accountable. Our work continues... @NeskantagaWater @calltoactionNFN @JustinTrudeau #truthandreconcilation #cleandrinkingwater @TDSB_NMPPS @EarlyYearsTDSB
