This post is a little bit late, but I was so glad to be a part of the second annual #BlackExcellenceDay on Friday, Jan. 14th.
The library was was able to gather a great selection of books for the students to explore black history and learn about the importance of this day๐ค
It's so great to see the Syilx language on trail signs in the #okanagan after spending the weeks before #springbreak teaching a unit on Syilx history and culture!! These signs translate to "mountain goat" and "big sagebrush".

Some great work from my grade 11 students who have just finished reading The Great Gatsby and Of Mice and Men. Their challenge was to journal their understanding in a creative way that worked for them throughout the unit!๐ก #classicliterature#English#analysis@EducationUnbc
I am BEYOND impressed with the work of my gr. 9s at OKM- this work was completely done by them (see first tweet)... I simply guided! This timeline was part of our unit on the local Syilx Peoples of the Okanagan. #Okanagan#Syilx#Kelowna#localhistory@EducationUnbc@SD23News
#Inquiry in progress!!๐ My grade 9 students completed an interactive timeline on #Syilx and #Okanagan history and culture throughout the course of the week! It was amazing to see their contributions. Stay tuned for a video of the finished product!!

My #oneword2021 is FLEXIBILITY. As a new teacher, I aim to practice intentional adaptability, adjustment, resilience, and growth in every environment and situation I encounter. @EducationUnbc#HappyNewYear2021 ๐๐
WOOHOO!! Big congrats to @teacherbellwood and @BekahJohnston95! We did it๐ Thank you so much to the @PGSS_Polars for letting us be apart of their amazing school community!๐
@waddybarr81 In this lesson we talked about how stories and information can be shared not only in writing, but in visual and oral forms! The students loved this idea, especially some who aren't confident writers yet!
This week we are wrapping up our unit on myths, legends, fables, and fairytales! We spent most of last week looking at Indigenous legends as well as exploring the history of Turtle Island. Can't believe this is already the last week of practicum 490! #unbced#pgss#abed#English
