@john_todell @PDSB_eco @ApplewoodHts We have a garden tower system. I'm not particularly good at it, we get some veggies though. towergarden.ca/tg

@MsCMcConnell @PDSB_eco @ApplewoodHts Hello I’m John from Nigeria and passionate about sustainable agriculture. Please, how do I learn from your experience. Cause, I tried growing tomatoes hydroponically using pet bottles but all dried. Please how do I go about it

Our first hydroponic tomatoes! @PDSB_eco @ApplewoodHts

WOW! This is the view from the The George Washington bridge running from Manhattan, New York to New Jersey. - This is all stemming from Central Canada, where wildfires are burning in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. - In total there are 211 reported wildfires burning in these two provinces, with 145 of them considered "out of control". - These fires started because of unseasonable hot and dry conditions, and have already forced 10,000 residents to evacuate their homes in Quebec. I think what this shows us is how fragile and interconnected the entire world really is environmentally. An event that takes place in another country can have major impacts and implications on our own. We are all in this thing together. Let's get along and work together to figure things out. The environment is a great place to start.

@ShannonsAZombie The call is coming from inside the house. (My kids like to phone me rather than walk downstairs 🙄)

@Ms_Luksy Fabulous smile. Excellent tongue. Shiny fur. 13/10.

@LevisBecker And can we tell that to university programs who have cut off grades into the 90s?

@TheMisterKyle @PeelSchools It's so bad. 😞

@PeelSchools, my answer is no. I understand that I'll be unable to use Google Classroom, and if I have to deal with that, so be it. But I won't be using Brightspace. If you aren't going to listen to us, then respectfully, that is where I'll be drawing the line.

@MsGingHynes This was a punch in the gut today.

When I told students in my room about this today, they all commented on how bright space is way more complicated and harder for them to navigate.

@JBradshaw01 As the parent of a teen who wants to apply to health science programs, I gotta say the entrance cut offs right now if 90-95 aren't helping this impression.

Probably same responses I get when I say I’m a science teacher: “I hated/was awful at science in school!” or “You must be really smart!” Society has normalized being bad at or hating math/science, and the mentality that most people aren’t “smart” enough to be successful in them.
