Reminding myself that where there is change there is growth 🌱. Arrived here 5 years ago as a lifelong learner, leaving today with lifelong friends and many new passions📖☕️

This week at MJS we had three amazing Indigenous Cultural Facilitators spend time in our classrooms. Division 12 loved learning how to play Slahal (a game of chance and sportsmanship) from Dennis, a member of the Kwantlen community! #sd36learn

After reading Just Like Grandma by Kim Rogers students had a conversation focused on generational roles and responsibilities in their families and started to understand why we value different roles and why they are important #sd36learn

We have been focusing on empathy for the past two weeks. We made recent connections to Orange Shirt Day after reading When We Were Alone. Here is our empathy writing and our directed drawing led by Ovi, a Coast Salish artist and designer.

Students have been practicing stitching on foam - we went from an initial explore phase with minimal instructions to measuring the length between each stitch in CMs and sewing through two pieces of foam! More steps to come 🧵✨ #sd36learns #ADST @Kdmcarthur11 is the best helper!

I'm in love with these amazing #salmon inquiry projects done by some gr 2/3 #MJS students. These students have been tracking our salmon growth.

As part of our initial poetry explorations students wrote a Haiku poem about what love means to them. We paired it with our water colour art - “love” in ASL 🤟🏼🤟🏽🤟🏾✨#sd36learns

Today we listened to Let’s Talk About Race by Julius Lester (recommended by the amazing @GinnyTambre), and had an awesome class discussion. Small steps are important. #sd36learn @Surrey_Schools

Story workshop in Division 13 this week - first we created, and then we shared our stories orally! #sd36learn

[Nicole Samson @nsamson_]

As teachers, we feel a lot of pressure to ensure all of our students needs are being met academically. At the end of the day, it’s not about who can read at grade level or who can solve all of the math equations correctly. It’s about so much more than that. #whyiteach

My new Saturday morning read! Inspired by Natalie Hunniford and her Brain Fit Tool Kit presentation. #sd36learn #SEL @Surrey_Schools

Last week I spent my Thursday morning learning from @feuz_a alongside other colleagues! Great conversations about Oral Language Assessment were had, and new ideas were shared 🌱 #sd36learn
