I bought a package of ten pairs of earrings at Dollar Tree for $1.50. A five year old told me that my earrings were the fanciest sheā€™d ever seen. Iā€™m basically winning at life.

I was recently asked who my favourite vampire was. I said ā€œthe muppet from Sesame Streetā€. They told me, ā€œhe doesnā€™t count!ā€ I replied, ā€œI assure you, he doesā€.

We need to stop doing the same things over and over and expecting different results. Cuts to #OntEd funding have resulted in the removal of vital supports for vulnerable students with complex needs. Inclusion without support for individual needs is abandonment. All of our kids deserve better.

Indeed. Iā€™m trying to ponder what I can do as an individual to support others in getting out to vote, and how we can collectively vote Ford out.

A screener gives you a quick snapshot of who is at risk and may need extra support. Diagnostics such as the BPST-III and CORE Phonics will drill down into which skills kids know and what you need to teach next. youtu.be/a5m6fObPa4Y?...

I often tell my #OntEd colleagues, ā€œyou are enoughā€. But hereā€™s the thingā€¦ I truly am not enough. I cannot give enough or do enough, to meet all of the needs of the children in my care. I am only one person. I am simply not enough. And this keeps me up at night.
