Orange Shirt Day is about honouring the children who never came home, the families left behind, and the survivors who carry us forward. 🧡 Today we honour you, we are proud of you, and we are grateful.
Let’s continue building the Canada we want for our future! 🇨🇦

There was a question on another platform today about research related to minutes of instruction and age of students. (I hear a lot of misconceptions about this.)
Please see reply from @HollyLanePhD ⬇️

Two beautiful days at Elbow Lake participating in "Literacy on the Land" with Kindergarten educators from across the @LimestoneDSB. We engaged in land-based learning, and spent time reflecting, connecting, and standing in gratitude, together.

To develop strong foundational language and literacy skills, students need consistent practice.
These materials support educators to empower parents and caregivers to support language and literacy development.
