Great games to play  If You Want Something To Play With The Kids: Telestrations Telestrations is like a combination of the whisper game Telephone and Pictionary. Players draw a word and pass their sketch to the player next to them, who writes down the word they think the first player was drawing. Then, the next player draws the word the previous player guessed. The game continues this way until the final drawing or description comes out wildly different than what everybody started with.

I love my son. I love my husband. Both are driving me crazy. My husband is retreating into work - my son into his online world leaving me staring around the room saying “where is everyone?” Yes, I’m the extrovert and I’m going nutters!

Extroverts will have a harder time with isolation(Obvs) and couples will need to approach this time as therapy.

Standardized tests cancelled for the year! What does this mean? All EQAO testing including the grade 10 Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test and all math assessments (grades 4,6, &9) are cancelled. What does that mean for secondary students? Passing OSSLT is currently a high school graduation requirement a but given the circumstances this years writers will likely write next year OR be given the option to take the Ontario Literacy Course (OLC) in lieu of writing the test.  Nothing will happen before September so do not panic.
