The monarch migration has been absolutely spectacular this year. This group of millions ended up in the forest just 20m away from where I saw them last year. Incredible how the thousands of miles of orientation are preserved in their genetics, despite being generations apart.

I would love to hear from #bced on this one. From my front row seat, I also think EAs are undervalued, overworked + underpaid. ‘An educational assistant speaks out: We are over-worked, undervalued, underpaid, the list goes on.’ #vanpoli caledonenterprise.com/opinio…
