Landmark cinemas in Ottawa remain opened with reduced capacity!
I was an elementary and high school teacher before becoming a stay at home mom and homeschooler. I never met one student who knew their times tables. Not their fault. They are so powerful in making your child a strong math student. Addition, subtraction and division too. If you do anything with this time that could be truly powerful, it would be basic facts. Just drill them. Have them write them down, say them out loud. Not in order, but randomised. Over and over and over.Ah time's tables... you know he's in grade 5 and they don't even try to get them to memorize them? Drives me nuts! We may work on that if I can convince him to do it. I had planned for swimming and a movie this coming week. Oh well, we'll save that for summer I guess! I really wanted to see Mulan. Guess we'll wait for it to be on Disney+

Did you cancel your car reservation through Airmiles or the car rental company.
The government of Canada has increased their warning for Canadians.

I think we are in this mess for the long haul. As this week has progressed, I’ve come to believe that travel will not return to “normal “ until the new year at best. Even then we will be into a new flu season so who knows what that will bring. I figure we are in social distancing mode until the vaccine hopefully arrives in late 2021.Experts have stated there is still much to learn about COVID-19 as it is a novel (new) coronavirus. No immunity, no vaccine, no complete and definitive clinical picture. With the rapid announcements of theme park cancellations, travel restrictions, border closings, world-wide suspension of cruising and so forth, it is hard to keep up. Even if there is significant success in flattening the curve (mitigation of the spread of the coronavirus) to a certain degree doesn't mean that risk management should be relaxed. Am realistic that with our 11-day cruise and WDW trip booked near the end of this year, that we will likely have to reschedule/cancel. This is the latest from Disney … https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/en_CA/travel-information/
Am hoping that the responses taken by the Canadian government and the provinces will slow the spread within Canada more effectively than what was done across the border. But it may be months and longer before things can return to normal. Hoping that everyone who are currently abroad return safely back home.
A lot of companies are emailing that they're open for business and expecting best practices from their staff.
