Explicit vocabulary instruction is an important part of structured literacy.
I'm adding to my bank of picture book lesson plans with this one, based on the beautiful new book Hana's Hundreds of Hijabs by @razeenareads - lesson plan free for all to use!

Never forget that it's far cheaper to give unhoused folks a place to live than leave them on the streets to depend on a patchwork of emergency services.

Ontario is in trouble. ⬇️ From education to healthcare, we are failing our children.

We should be investing in our schools & hospitals, & the people who work there.

If you are a @CUPEOntario member who is on strike (or the partner of a CUPE member or shopping on behalf of a CUPE member), shop at Reimagine and we will give you $25 of free groceries.

Imagine how different society would be if we fully funded what nurtures our society like education and healthcare, instead of what punishes folks like police and prisons.

Friends, The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (AKA, Orange Shirt Day) is not about getting an Elder into your class to discuss Residential Schools. Nor is it about getting an Indigenous Person into your class to talk about Orange Shirts and Reconciliation. This is your

We are a smart community. We are a sustainable community. We are people who from all around the world, call this place, home. Who of these people would deny the rights of any single child? Let us vote for school board trustees with care so no child is left out. ❤️🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
