And thank you @swreading for introducing me to this series when you chose it as a well timed class read aloud just when Covid was hitting the news.

When I grabbed the 4th #frontdesk novel to read on holidays, I didn’t expect to be crying by the resort pool. Shoulda known better-@kellyyanghk , you weave such beautiful humanity into your stories & have really opened my eyes to the immigrant experience. Thank you.

Quite often, the greatest PD is the teacher down the hall.

Since our pod is full of band kids and music lovers, we thought we’d take a trip to see @YaleSecondary ‘s performance of Moana Jr. Thank you for an excellent show- we loved it!

Closed out a great month w/our pod with our draw for our Kindness Challenge today. Loved encouraging them to be others-focused this month. Kudos to my amazing partner @MissJanePatter1 for heading this up- you’re a joy to teach with! @clayburnmiddle

[MrsCal @MrsCal1]

@sd35wgss @LangleySchools Impressive!!!

[MrsCal @MrsCal1]

Thanks to Jennifer Gruno, University of Victoria & Kate Baker, PHE and Social Studies Teacher, Oak Bay High School for the info.

[MrsCal @MrsCal1]

Today my fantastic teaching partner lead our pod through a nature-based activity in PE, based on First Peoples Principles of Learning. If I had had more PHE teachers like @MissJanePatter1 , I think I would have loved PE more growing up. More on nature based PHE 👇🏼@clayburnmiddle

[MrsCal @MrsCal1]

Nature-based physical activities are those physical activities that are done in natural areas, require little specialized equipment, deemphasize competition, are cost-efficient, and can be implemented by teachers on a regular basis (Gruno & Gibbons, 2020, 2021, 2022).
