A fabulous day of learning with our entire staff. UDL, inclusion and CBIEPs topped off with a learning walk through our forest with a focus on Halq'emeylem language. Thank you to the amazing team who organized today. #sd33learns #inclusion #UDL #sd33humansocial #community

I have been ruminating over the concept of 'comparison' while reading @BreneBrown. How do we thrive with a sense of belonging if we are striving to fit in?

In reading group today, we asked, 'What is the the author's Big Idea and how does it connect to your life?' Diversity, bravery, courage, inclusion, and belonging! After making a connection, one student said, "Sometimes it takes courage just to be yourself!"

The joy we all felt to be back at school after a week away due to the floods was summed up by a student as they ran by me at recess yelling - "School is the best place ever!"

We are grateful...
for our school staff, our SD 33 leadership team, and the caring from outside our school district. The kindness and compassion that has been shown to our school community is greatly appreciated.

We’re focusing on a kindness initiative this month! We’ve done a lot of brainstorming about the different ways to be kind. Handing out thank you cards to special adults and writing words of encouragement for anyone to take are a few whole class initiatives! #sd33learns

Had the privilege to learn a dance for Diwali taught by @Me_Hat4482. So much fun learning together! All of our students will have the chance to dance this week!

Don’t forget that joy is a choice, sweet ones.

We won’t be able to fix everything, but it is your choice to dwell on the bad things or focus your energy on celebrating the good things.

Be kind, to yourself first, and those around you and I promise we’ll change the world.

Listening to @amtremonti sharing wisdom about choice words and conversations @BCPVPA conference.
'We need other voices in the room because everyone sees things that others don't.'
'Change the perspective, change the conversation.'
