Sometimes I just have to paint and get my art on. Teacher respite is very much needed!

Exploring cultural characteristics of an Inuit culture had students learning about Inuit drums: qilaut and the similarities with the Chinese drum: tanggu. They built their and now they're coding their drums to sound like real drums with #MakeyMakey #abed #albertaeducation #cisgz

A perfect reminder of what every child needs at school every day. It’s no mystery, to love ❤️ reading and choose reading at home, children need access to books at school and in their public library!

Our City in Canada project is well on its way! Our learners love being in the Tinker Lab collaborating and building. They have learned about communities and the needs, now they’re building a community. Next week will be Sphero time! #wearecis #cisgz #learntodayleadtomorrow

It’s been a busy year and it’s just November! I’m so happy to be honoured with an award and a chance to give a speech about teaching.

Ended our unit of boats and buoyancy by testing the carrier boats the grade twos made in the school pool. So lucky to have the access. Then of course we had to celebrate with a pool party! #Cisgz

Watching (on British TV in China) @jordanwitzel eat that artichoke dip made by @global_leslie was a taste of YYC home - miss the fun of morning TV hahahaha

Bored of being yourself on Zoom calls? A little fun using Adobe Character Animator and NDI to track your face on to a cartoon character and use it as your Zoom camera.

Made a @microbit_edu powered LED animated face mask during a day off last week. It works shockingly well and has not electrocuted my face yet .... also huge apologies for being so so so absent recently. We are back at school now properly and lots to share. #microbit

@maggielauart @aisvn_hcmc Absolutely! My kids like an idea I adapted from Cassie Stephens. I talk about using paint brushes like ballerinas on their tippy toes. We also have an example of Hairy Harry the paintbrush. I love hearing them talk about Hairy Harries and being ballerinas.

@missguzzo You are a rockstar. I don’t know how you do it!

[Sharon Jacques AKA ArtyPants @ArtyPants_YYC]

The students already knew the colour wheel and were challenged to recreate it using primary colours. I loved hearing how they made the colours and also really think about their placement. Critical thinking for the win! #cisgz #iteachsecond #elementaryart #kidscreate
