Grace & Ellarae are leaders in @TrafalgarPS's Indigenous Student Club. Leading up to Sept 30 they prepped announcements to educate about #OrangeShirtDay. On National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Grace wore her regalia & performed a jingle dress dance for the school community

In my observation over 30 years as a K-8 teacher in the system, the Ontario elementary teaching force is overwhelmingly white women. It’s impossible to not see it. In my last year I was in a school that had only one male teacher, and every teacher in the school was white except the Indigenous language teacher. The school was over 50% Indigenous kids.
I can tell you from personal experience from the perspective of a student AND a parent- REPRESENTATION MATTERS! (the hill I will always die on!) ✊🏽🧡 – at Woodstock, Ontario

Had so much fun with the Grade 1’s at @PAlgonquin today, learning about Indigenous beadwork. Beads are powerful and help us tell our stories. Ss got to communicate important aspects of their identity through simple beadwork strings. Miigwetch @MrsLDutton for having me! 💕 @TVDSB – at Woodstock, Ontario

This is what a Canadian human rights crisis actually looks like! This community is 20 minutes outside of London, Ontario. Your children share classrooms with these children.
It’s time for people to stand up and speak out against this grave injustice. #ldnont – at Woodstock, Ontario

You hear that, @fordnation and @Sflecce?
#IStandWithCUPE is trending.
Communities are with education workers because education workers have always been with our communities!

When your school's SLP shares resources, you know it will support your programming!

@PAlgonquin we use Sentence Trees during whole class and small group instruction to practice our reading skills with decodable sentences. Ss gain confidence when reading these decodable sentences, turning an "I can't" into an "I can"! @tvdsbslp @SpecialEd_tvdsb @TVDSBLiteracy

Today was an amazing day in Mrs. Dutton’s Gr. 1 class at @PAlgonquin! We learned that Indigenous beadwork is communication- all the patterns and colours have meaning (eg wampum belts and regalia). We then made our own personal bead strings to communicate about ourselves! @TVDSB

My heart is so happy. Such rich conversations about diversity and being a good friend today in our grade one health class. I can’t wait to dive deeper into this important topic! @PAlgonquin
