@CityofRegina This bush at the corner of Albert St and 2nd Ave N on the SE corner needs to be cut down. It is unsafe as it’s hard to see oncoming traffic when turning south and it is hard to see pedestrians when traveling north on Albert St. It also impedes a fire hydrant.

Walked and walked and walked and waved and waved and waved. Amazing support from the public! 😊Standing up for classroom conditions and students rights to quality education! @elementaryolsen @SaskTeachersFed #wearestf

A great thread from Instagram about why teachers are walking out again on Monday, and why it is so important for teachers and folks who care about the quality of education in this province to stand up to the Sask Party. It’s too important to back down.

Let’s do a little calculation. The teachers are asking for 2% per year plus inflation over 4 years. The government says that equals 23.5%. Means they think inflation will be 15.5%. If that’s accurate their offer of 7% doesn’t even come 1/2 way to meeting their own inflation proj.

@MrsLeCouffe @DeshayeCatholic So blessed we got to meet and spend time together this year. We love our buddies!

[Brigitte Olsen @elementaryolsen]

So grateful for the leadership these kiddos show during buddy time. And for sharing the air conditioning so we could have a little relief from the heat ❤️

We made Rockets today looking at the use of force and tension to create movement of energy. #STEAM success! @DeshayeCatholic Buddies with @elementaryolsen is the highlight of our week!

[Brigitte Olsen @elementaryolsen]

Today our grade 2/3 class led @DeshayeCatholic community in praying the rosary. They practiced and spoke so beautifully. Some shared prayers in their first language which was so moving. @RCSD_No81 #catholiceducationweek

There’s no denying Giannis came up short, but this response to “failure” was fascinating.

All parents should watch & show their kids.

[Brigitte Olsen @elementaryolsen]

A huge thank you to our big buddies @MrsLeCouffe class for leading us in the stations of the cross today. It was so moving and really helped us reflect on our Lenten journey. What great leadership! @DeshayeCatholic @RCSD_No81

[Brigitte Olsen @elementaryolsen]

Today we had a very special guest reader for our #classbookaday. @owenspp came to read us his favourite story “The Sneetches”. Thanks for sharing you love of books with us Mr. Owens. @DeshayeCatholic @RCSD_No81

[Brigitte Olsen @elementaryolsen]

Our class is working on some art inspired by Saskatchewan artist Kevin Peeace. Using markers this time and next week we’ll start on a piece with paint on canvas! @DeshayeCatholic

[Brigitte Olsen @elementaryolsen]

Our class is so excited for Indigenous Storytelling Month!! We would like to send a huge thank you to @OfficialRPL for connecting us with storyteller Melissa Worme this morning. It was so much fun listening to her stories today! @DeshayeCatholic

[Brigitte Olsen @elementaryolsen]

What do you do when Mother Nature gives you perfect snow building weather…you take your math measurement lesson outside! @DeshayeCatholic

[Brigitte Olsen @elementaryolsen]

@MrsLeCouffe Best part of our week. The excitement starts at 9:00am when they walk in and see “Big Buddies” on the visual schedule ❤️

[Brigitte Olsen @elementaryolsen]

@Jenpen2001 We read a picture book everyday! Best part of our day as a class. This was last year’s board near the end of June 📚

[Brigitte Olsen @elementaryolsen]

Today we finished our Advent wreath project just in time for the start of Advent. The candles have Velcro so that students can use them with their families for years to come. Also prayers sent home for each Sunday to “light” a candle as a family and pray. @DeshayeCatholic
