Heartfelt — if overdue — thanks to @WBurgessTDSB School Council for its assistance with the purchase of #FNMI flags for the school library. -> Image
The intention here is to create a permanent, indigenized space in the library — a reminder that knowledge has been preserved and shared on this land for 15,000 years. #ETFO -> Image
First Nations organizations were consulted about the appropriateness of placing these flags here. Flags on display include those found at Takaronto City Hall, plus the flags of Nunavut and The Assembly of First Nations. -> Image
#FNMIed titles will be on display in this space all year round. Image

Virtual grade five students have morning exercises, just like students in school. But we're using slides, updated daily or weekly.

We don't all get into the virtual classroom at the exact same time, so we begin with breathing silently while listening to our song of the week. ->
We observe the Land Acknowledgement of #TDSB @UIEC_Tdsb. Students can volunteer to read the acknowledgement. They choose to sit or stand. ->
An audio file of O Canada is embedded in the slide, and a student's choice to sing or not is respect and supported. All participants have the choice to remain seated, to stand, or to take a knee. All choices are respected and supported. ->

Right now, #TDSB staff are reporting on the dynamics of building and launching the virtual school.
Thousands of students had to be enrolled manually -- quite literally one-by-one. A total enrolment of 73,000 students -- if I heard correctly.
On the to-do list is a Trustee and School Council protocol, so that parent and community issues are represented in virtual school.

THREAD: Our read-aloud today was M is for Mustache (Flamingo Rampant, 2017) by @theloudlady, with illustrations by Marisa Firebaugh. Our song was Somewhere Over The Rainbow (1939).
MIFM is one of my two favourite books to launch #PrideMonth #TDSBPride 1/4
The other is 47,000 Beads (Flamingo Rampant, 2017) by @KojaAdeyoha and @angeladeyoha, with illustrations by
@HollyMcGillis, which @sbearbergman read at our @WBurgessTDSB Virtual Pride Assembly on June 1st. June is also #IndigenousHistoryMonth. 2/4 Image
Both books tell stories of family, chosen family and community. They centre children and value their feelings and ideas. They are intersectional, reminding us that nobody is just one thing. They show the dismantling of systems of oppression as a loving act. 3/4 Image

In keeping with best-practice for online safety, I encourage adults to supervise children and youth when visiting social media sites. If you have a hot tip about someone sharing children's literature online, please pass it along, and I'll add it to this thread.
