Off until next September and feeling very weird not having a class to plan for this year! Instead I'm spamming my teacher friends with cool ideas I wish I could be apart of while snuggling and playing with my littles! 💁♀️ #growingquickly#startingk#7mo
Childhood trauma is one of the greatest components our educators face today. 67% of our population has experienced trauma and it’s only increasing. It’s imperative we continue to focus on the #SEL needs of our students & become #traumainformed!
What looks to be a meadow of colourful flowers is actually made up of shaped plastic table cloths and the adept craft skills of a grade 5 class from Shaunessy elementary #BCITNEWS@bcitnews#RemembranceDay

One of our amazing Bench students is fundraising for the Terry Fox Foundation! She will be shaving her head Friday October 5th and is almost at her fundraising goal! Please help if you can. 😄
Still fighting a very nasty cold but enjoying a tea and looking at photos from our community building groups this week at Bench! I did “nature self-portraits” and “scavenger hunt bingo” at my station, they were both a hit! 😊 #sd79learn#creativekiddos
Happy to be starting the year in my new role at Bench next week! Today’s task: print and organize the excessive amount of resources I’ve scoured the internet for over the summer. Thanks @tweetsomemoore for so many great ideas to get me started! #sd79learn
Excited to see two of @BCECTA’s executive members on the TTOCAC and presenting to other local TTOC reps. Great job Alexa Bennett-Fox and Mark Morrison!!
Elective Sessions yesterday included Improving Assertiveness skills, Pregnancy and parental leave, and addressing compassion fatigue in schools. All very informative and valuable! Can’t wait to fill up the @BCECTA fall newsletter with notes from these sessions. #BCTF
Enjoyed a great presentation last night from Mary-Ellen Turpel-Lafond! Looking forward to seeing what today’s elective sessions have in store at the bctf Summer leadership conference.
