Zwickers For The Win

Real talk.

Its always a good day when there is a new Heritage Minute from @HistoricaCanada . Watch, share & tell two friends #HeritageMinutes #WomensHistoryMonth #Canada #QueenOfTheHurricanes

This speaks to me after this week.

ALL of Ontario now limited to indoor gatherings of 10, outdoor gatherings of 25. Except schools. Because the virus apparently cannot penetrate our magical school walls. news.ontario.ca/en/release/584… #OntEd

Parents & education staff check out this for self screening. ow.ly/J0fH50BiC2m

We have made the decision to delay the start of school by two days, in addition to the staggered entry plan. Details at smcdsb.on.ca/school_re-_ope…

A man in Hong Kong contracted a different coronavirus strain from the one he had originally, medical researchers say. cbc.ca/1.5697725

My checklist for September!!!

The Minister of Ed has told school boards to ensure that K to 12 students receive up to 225 minutes a day of live synchronous online instruction. Or, almost 4hrs per day of live online learning for 4,5,6,7,8... year old students. Let that sink in! @ETFOeducators #onted

It's called visual hierarchy [more: buff.ly/2RrbNGi]

Read both of @Travisdhanraj tweets: @fordnation says back to school plan is not his govt’s plan, he’d be “nervous” to send his kids to school & parents can keep kids home. #OntEd is provincial govt responsibility. The govt needs to plan for, ensure & fully fund a #SafeSeptember

@bingslnzp @CBCNews But educators shouldn’t have to fund a #SafeSeptember out of pocket in fear because the government won’t provide the necessary safety precautions. Grocery stores have better safety protocols in place!

@bingslnzp @CBCNews I would LOVE to see dividers provided. I see educators buying them at Costco for $120! Classrooms are not designed for 28 kids spaced out. It’s a safety hazard as there’s not enough walking space between desks. If they won’t reduce classes, make EVERY effort. Not just masks!

Studies of COVID-19 patients keep uncovering new complications associated with the disease. cbc.ca/1.5672791

ATTN parents- if you didn’t know already, school boards may require preregistration of students in order for them to attend class in person this fall, if the deadline is missed they may be waitlisted #Onpoli #Onted

Excellent statement. Ontario Principals call for a staggered start to the school year. #onted #onpoli

This woman, Dr. Leone Farrell, saved countless lives improving vaccines for polio, staph, dysentery, pertussis and cholera, as well as making penicillin. A hero of a scientist, from Canada. nyti.ms/3hXITeF bit.ly/2Pc5E24
