Grade 3 Ss @TDSB_NMPPS reflected on this old history textbook cover, how they do not see themselves reflected in the faces on this cover and how many important groups of people aren’t being reflected. Ss have redesigned history book covers, here are a couple.

Every day, students and staff must check for COVID-19 symptoms and either sign our TDSB Health Pass or use our Health Screening App to show at school. ✅ Learn more about our daily screening here ➡️ bit.ly/3DKOFf8

@JasonReynolds83 @INwithMichelle Well I know a whole bunch of kids at our school who love anything & everything Jason Reynolds' does if that helps ease this feeling. Not sure if it is an Adult or Kid, text but either way we can't wait!

@INwithMichelle Life hadn’t humbled me yet. Hahaha. Honestly, I’ve never feel like I know what I’m doing. Just trying my best to make sense of what I see and feel and hear in my head. A briar patch.

Anyone else had the experience of turning in a novel, then immediately regretting it?

We look forward to welcoming all students back to class in two weeks! As we confirm details about the upcoming school year, we're continuing to keep families up to date. Please read our weekly update to TDSB families here: tdsb.on.ca/News/Article-D…

As settlers on this land we are taking the pledge to be earth stewards and water protectors. ✋🏽 We want to do more than acknowledge. After reading We are Water Protectors we were inspired to take action! @tdsb @TDSB_NMPPS @EarlyYearsTDSB

Some excellent books for our water justice inquiry. In honour of International Women’s month and World Water Day last week we have been learning about land defenders! #InternationalWomensMonth #WorldWaterDay @TDSB_NMPPS @EarlyYearsTDSB

We are so inspired by the works of environmental activist who are making a change in their own communities! Like Wanagari and Josephine! #InternationalWomensMonth #environmentalactivism @TDSB_NMPPS @EarlyYearsTDSB

For Writer’s Workshop Wednesday we made posters! We stand in solidarity with First Nations communities without clean drinking water. #tdsb ⁦@TDSB_NMPPS⁩ ⁦@EarlyYearsTDSB⁩
