If you haven’t already read about the UCP’s plans for “updated” Alberta curriculum I encourage you to read below .... it is blatantly racist and unacceptable. If you feel so inclined PLEASE consider signing this petition. We can do so much better than this!!!

Today on #orangeshirtday my class discussed residential schools and the terrible ways the children were treated in them... we then discussed how we should always feel when we enter a school such as “loved” “appreciated” “cared for” and “safe”. And this was our finished product!
When I look into the eyes of the children in my classroom, I cant imagine how a person could ever want to mistreat them. & yet only a short time ago so many children were abused, neglected, and even killed in “school”... (1/2)
This week in grade 1/2 we enjoyed some beautiful fall weather while practicing our pattern making! The kiddos have been crushing this math unit! #proudteacher#fall 🍂👩🏻🏫🧠💡
Today’s reason to update Alberta’s curriculum: We live in a digital world. For the 1st time we specify that learning how to type is just as important as learning how to print and how to write. In English L.A., students will start working on their typing skills in kindergarten.
It’s been a while since I’ve been on this account!
Update: switched from senior high school to kindergarten and LOVING it!
Missing my St. Joes fam, but loving the excitement and chaos of kinders!
Instead of reading the entire course outline myself while my students zone me out, I made a course outline bingo so that they can explore for themselves and collaborate with their peers! Should be a fun start to the course! #IteachHighschool#engage#collaborative#planning 🤓✨
Today my digital arts students premiered their movies at the first annual ms. Skinner academy awards!
We obviously had to bring out the red carpet and the students loved their tiny academy awards as well! 💁🏻♀️🎉👩🏻🏫 #engage#highschool#digitalarts
Today we thank educators unleashing creativity, empowering curious minds, and for seeing the potential in all learners. You’re nailing it. #TeacherAppreciationWeek https://t.co/EQSeks2p7a
