Talmey students went on a Story Walk, reflected on how we can "hold each other up" and support our communities (we love your book! @ltldrum), and tied orange ribbons🧡as part of our recognition of this year's
#NationalDayForTruthAndReconciliation. #rtla38

The LLC is the place to be on 🌧️ days! The "Reading & Relaxation" station for our indoor fun day last Friday was a hit with all grades 🖍️🧩 Yesterday, the LLC became a board game cafe for 2 hours (including at lunch time) & wow were the students engrossed! 🤩 #sd38learn #rtla38

Div. 1/2 used the DRC's wood burning kit to etch designs and symbols inspired by Greek mythology today. Linking socials with ADST was a blast 🔥 #sd38learn #rtla38

We had a belated #paperbagprincess celebration today with the kindergartners! @AnnickPress We learned that having a kind ❤️ is more important than what you wear. It was a perfect story for #InternationalWomensDay as well. #rtla38 #sd38learn

Div 4 started using @SpheroEdu in the @TalmeyLLC with Ms.Yang this week. We spent the block exploring how to use them and will spend the next few weeks learning how to program.

It’s been a challenge to connect with other students in the school while trying to stay safe. Our pod has been trying to liven up the space and maintain connections. We put up a “Peas in the Pod” bulletin board to share about ourselves and created some artwork for our entryway.

So much spooky fun this week! Our LLC hosted a temporary 🎃 patch, a bird dissection lab, and a plethora of #batweek/ Halloween themed stories & crafts 🦇👻 Everyday, we are so thankful for our flexible furniture & space! #sd38learn #rtla38 #bctla

Yesterday's experience was truly thought-provoking & inspiring. As we go forth to examine diversity in our collections, yes there will be big challenges ahead… but having the opportunity to put equity into action is so exciting! Thanks @rebecarubi0 @btsui38As #rtla38 #sd38learn

[Rebeca Rubio (she/her/hers) @rebecarubi0]

Today we launched the @RichmondSD38 Elementary Library Diversity Audit. In awe of the humility and deep thinking of this amazing group of teacher librarians. Today we begin this difficult but important equity work. @btsui38 #rtla38 #sd38learn @bctla @CdnSchoolLibrar @navshina

These #globalcitizens and experts on near-earth objects attended Talmey's "Planetary Defense Symposium" today to learn, discuss and plan for the threat of asteroid impacts. #studentengagement was high as they tackled this challenging issue ☄️🌍 #sd38learn #rtla38

2nd week re-opening our LLC for book exchanges (15 min per class + following health & safety guidelines of course) and it's so heartwarming to see how happy the students are to be back in this space, choosing their own books, and reading 🥰📚 the place is buzzing! #rtla38 #bctla
