@mswadia’s gr. 8 class had a surprise visit from @the_raptor, John Wiggins, @ArgoJC (Huddle Up) & Dwayne & Dave today. One of her Ss wrote an essay on the life & impact of #LincolnAlexander & won the grand prize! We are all so proud of you, A! @AgnesMacphailPS @LC3_TDSB @tdsb

We return from our social media hiatus to publicly thank Corporal Kai Chen, a Macphail alumnus, for attending our Remembrance Day ceremony. No audience, no photos of the actual event - our solemn focus was on war, peace, and those remembered/forgotten.

Just before we switched to remote learning, one of my Gr. 8s presented the hydraulic arm that she built for our science task. I’m so proud of her! The grade 7s are also inspired! @AgnesMacphailPS @LC3_TDSB @tdsb @TDSB_STEM #STEM #STEMeducation #STEAM #EngineeringDesignProcess

Today our Gr 5-6 class @AgnesMacphailPS read some @ForestofReading books by Canadians @MikeBoldt @peterhreynolds (not related to @VancityReynolds but just as cool) @SajidahWrites @DannySeesIt & others. #IReadCanadian Thanks @JustinTrudeau for your video message #IReadCanadianDay

@matt_webbe was at Teaching Science and STEM in a COVID World Fully and Safely—Whatever the Learning Approach home.edweb.net/webinar/stem20… Interesting insights of how to continue the learning in this area.

As some businesses and workplaces begin to reopen, stay two metres from others. We all have a part to play to protect each other from COVID-19.

Reports say safely reopening schools during #COVID19 could cost as much as $3.2 billion for more teachers and custodians, and PPE. thestar.com/politics/provi…
