Frugal mommy hack: Why YES, you CAN wash a 100% wool jacket that has feline vomit and diarrhea on it instead of paying for dry-cleaning or burning your jacket. Delicate wash cycle. Cold water. Use Woolite detergent. Lay flat to dry. Ta da! Save your money!!!
Last year school boards had this info on the 17th. Even then, it was delayed and boards were scrambling to do their staffing. It’s now April 18. I am losing my patience with this government.

Some of our students come from countries where cursive is taught first. Teaching cursive first can help remove b/d confusion, help kids to see words as units instead of individual letters, and some think it is more efficient for early letter formation.
I will never get sick of doing initial assessments on newcomers and bragging to their teachers and parents about them. I especially love seeing kids shine in home languages. Today I assessed a child who has literacy in THREE languages already. Now he’s adding a fourth! #WRDSBMLL

All school boards in #OntEd have been forced to make cuts that impact our most vulnerable students in order to stay afloat. Boards are threatened with provincial takeover. These are dark days in public education. We need a new healthcare and education-friendly government.

"Exposure to COVID-19 showed a positive connection with aggression & anxiety, as well as rumination." I think about this alot. Angry driving, road rage, public aggression in general. I can't be the only one who's seen a steady increase the last 4 years. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

A great article by @alfiekohn After having lived and taught in 🇩🇰on a teaching exchange 21 years ago, I wanted to try it when I returned to 🇨🇦. So grateful to my admin. I’ve done it with 4 groups-my absolute favourite was with my amazing group whom I taught during Covid 🌏🌎🌍
A recent review of research confirms multiple benefits of "looping" - that is, having a teacher stay with a class of students for more than one year: edworkingpapers.com/ai22-590
I hope that the words "proposed" and "first step in a multi-step process" means that there are ways of improving things, that we are not on an inevitable path. I beseech the @WHO to put public and HCW safety at the forefront of all discussions going forward. fin/
Summary: WHO moving forward on airborne transmission (slowly). But language changes seem forced, unnecessary, and only seem to benefit those who were unable to use the word "airborne" (and recommend precautions) early in the pandemic. 10/
Equity means everyone gets excellent protections. not reducing protections to the lowest possible common denominator. "Everyone should have an equally bad risk of getting this disabling/deadly disease" should not be a thing. 9/
Ongoing horrible: The use of "equity" to try and explain why respirator masks aren't necessary. This would be akin to saying because there are inadequate worker protections in a foreign country, all workers around the world shoudl have inadequate protections... 8/
even more bad: suggestions "through the air" or "inhalation" are clarifying language over the word "airborne" is disingenuous at best. We have had good functional language here, this will (is) obfuscating things for no discernable purpsose. 7/
more bad: Multi-disciplinary engagement. excellent to have airborne scientists here. Still missing some key disciplines: no engineers, no occupational hygienists (the true mask experts). We need all brains engaged on wicked problems. 6/
The bad: Ventilation is the only modality mentioned for airborne mitigation. No mention of filtration or sterilizaitons (UV/far-UV). strange to have such a huge gap. 5/
The good: An explicit acknowledgment that COVID is airborne. We've known this from the beginning, but only in the last month has the WHO really stopped hedging the language on this. No apology for the impact of the error though. That would have been nice, if wholly unexpected. 4/
The great: finally an acknowledgment that short-range airborne transmission is an integral component of all (not just COVID) airborne transmission. This is huge. It means that workers esp. HCWs need respirator masks (FFP2/3, N95) when interacting with concerning patients. 3/
