Due to a wildfire, a section of Highway 8 near Miramichi is currently closed between Route 450 and Oldfield Road. Russellville Road and McHardy Road are also closed. Traffic is being diverted towards Neguac. Check 511.gnb.ca/?lang=en or dial 511 for updates.

⚠️ The airspace around and over a wildfire is closed to all aircraft, including drones, except those directly involved in fighting fires.
If a drone is spotted in the area, emergency response teams need to ground their operations, which puts lives at risk.

A8 My current reading that is "like oxygen" tends to be fantasy that displaces me into fantastical realms. My current faves are Sarah Maas and Jennifer Armentrout. Note: these are NOT books that I will "book talk" with my young readers 😂 #shelfietalk
A4 The illustrations packed a punch! One of my favorites, though, was seeing Judi come full circle when she imagined herself to be playing basketball on a court... to actually playing and remembering that imagined moment. #shelfietalk – at Fredericton, New Brunswick
A3 The dialogue on p. 88 is one of my favorites. This is the moment where the sheer weight of multiple gender inequalities becomes too heavy to ignore... And one spark ignites others to action. #shelfietalk

Thanks very much for joining us tonight to chat about Braiding Sweetgrass for Young Adults. We have been offered guidance and inspiration for a more sustainable future. It is our hope that you will share this book with students and colleagues. #shelfietalk
A7 If you loved "Braiding Sweetgrass", may I recommend Kimmerer's other book, "Teachings of Plants and Gathering Moss" #shelfietalk – at Fredericton, New Brunswick
A5 The Author's Note is an urgent call to remember, to share, to protect, and to take action to revitalize our relationship with all living beings. #shelfietalk
A4 I understand more about viewing the natural world as a gift and the importance of sharing and giving away what has been given. We have a duty to think and act with reciprocity. #shelfietalk
A2 What continues to resonate with me is the importance of seeing the natural world as a gift, showing gratitude and acting with reciprocity. #shelfietalk
All hands on deck today to transplant pollinator-attracting perennials. We got almost all of our Grade 2 friends' seedlings planted. To be continued... 🤩 @KingsclearCS @LaurelDyker @ASD_West @N4LCanada #schoolgarden
What should we do on the 9th of our 10 days of school countdown? Have a bubble day! We experimented with a "giant bubble" recipe, made our own bubble wands, and, of course, followed the steps to try to blow giant bubbles with bubble gum. @KingsclearCS @ASD_West 1/2 – at Fredericton, New Brunswick
Is there anything better than releasing all worries at the ocean? Today we learned from a Parks NB guide about how to care for the ocean and life that is connected to it, & about the dangers of plastics. Then we did a beach clean up and played! @ExploreNB @KingsclearCS @ASD_West – at Fredericton, New Brunswick
The LHHS Spring Concert was a phenomenal show of collaboration, dedication, friendship, and young talent. Congratulations to all the performers and THANK YOU to their teacher volunteers, Brad Hachey and Jennifer Horsman! ❤️ @ASD_West @MusicAsdw #musicmatters – at Fredericton, New Brunswick
KCS students in grades 3-5 traveled to Mactaquac Dam to learn how NB uses water to generate electricity. They were most interested in the dam's maintenance & repair and how to ensure safety of the fish. Thank you @NBCOE for helping us get there! @KingsclearCS @ASD_West – at Fredericton, New Brunswick

When the world seems overwhelming & my heart feels heavy, a few hours in an inclusive space like elementary drama heals & energizes. We adults should all be trying to grow-down, unlearn, and reconnect with our inner-child. The world would be kinder & full of laughter for all.
So much hands-on learning! This experimental partnership engages students in native to NB plants, plant growth, care and maintenance, oh-- and the labor required to do it all. Thank you, @KingsLandingNB for supporting our youth! @KingsclearCS @ASD_West 1/2
