The grade 2/3 @RicksonWolves did an experiment with a pumpkin for Orange Week. Can you guess how many elastics it took to split their pumpkin in two???? #ugdsb

FDK and primary @RicksonWolves loved Orange Week!!! #ugdsb
FDK and primary @RicksonWolves are busy exploring all things orange this week! Students can log in to their ugcloud accounts to see our Orange Week website: sites.google.com/ugcloud.ca/… #ugsdb

So humbled and so moved to stand at the doors of our library and hear Mme Brown singing and drumming in our hallways to honour Orange Shirt Day. What a privilege for our @RicksonWolves to experience. #ugdsb #OrangeShirtDay2020

@tdsb had a great plan for keeping students safe. But @fordnation and @Sflecce said it was "too good" for teachers. It ended the day 48 min earlier (exact same amount of teacher prep) & redistributed planning time teachers to make more (smaller) classes. What??! #safeseptember

The Ministry says it's flexible and that boards have the power to make good & appropriate decisions for their own students, but clearly that's untrue if they're going to overturn the plan from @tdsb. A #SafeSeptember is needed. Let Boards use their knowledge to make safe plans!

As per your own province's ads, physical distancing means 2 m. @fordnation and @Sflecce - please stop blaming unions and acknowledge that your plan ignores the concerns of all experts, parents, principals, and educators. Make classes smaller and safer!!! #safeseptember

Replying to @Sflecce
@sflecce and @fordnation, please let the public know if you consulted with @PublicHealthON on your school reopening plan (and if not, WHY NOT?). All their resources says 2 m is required for physical distancing. Impossible with class sizes staying the same. #unsafeseptember

Canada's official COVID-19 page also specifics 2 m of physical distancing.
Absolutely unbelievable that the gov't would ignore so many experts and try to tell us that our kids will be safe in regular-sized classes without 2 m of physical distancing. #UnsafeSeptember
Hey @johnkrasinski here’s @somegoodnews from Canada: hockey great-turned-great doctor @wick_22 is helping protect our awesome health care workers by offering to pick up PPE donations! Fellow Canuck @VancityReynolds joined in with a questionable offer...

Junior students designed mazes for our new robot mice and then used the mazes to teach primary students how to code the robots! Great collaboration @RicksonWolves ! #ugdsb
