Nature self portraits may be my new favourite way of doing self portraits. One student even included the gap in her teeth in her self portrait! #sd36learn #grade1

When Chapters has a 20% teacher sale, I tend to go a little book-buying crazy. Needless to say, I’m excited to add these diverse picture books to my read aloud collection.

@megankjackson @Surrey_Schools I like the recording sheet! May I ask where you got it from?

Students created animal stories today! I loved seeing their creativity with the backdrops and props. #storyworkshop #sd36learn

@momentswithmsh @Surrey_Schools Thank you for this. I really needed to hear that. ♥️

Real talk: Teaching blended learning is hard. I’m constantly questioning my teaching skills and whether I’m doing enough to support my students. But when I get these type of messages from my students, I am reminded that the work that I do is important and makes a difference.

@MonkmanShauna Thank you so much for sharing! Just purchased a set for my class :)

I use these daily intention cards in with class daily at our morning meeting. Many align super well with the BC Core Competencies! We check in throughout the day and self assess at the end of the day before we head out the door. #sd33learns #corecompetencies #kindergarten

@schnare_s Thank you, Sara! ❤️

@MsSophiaLe WHAT?! Congratulations!!! ❤️

Students won’t be calling me “Ms.Le” for that much longer 💍💕

@j_minci I’ve heard of wet felting but I need to look more into how to do it! I’m definitely interested in doing it with my students one day.

@MsSophiaLe Have you thought about wet felting wit your kids? It’s pretty easy to cover rocks or something small like that!

Summer project: making needle felted story mats for story workshop. Not sure if sts will use these in a Covid classroom but I remain hopeful that in the near future, my sts will find inspiration and joy in creating stories from these mats. #needlefelting #sd36learn

@schnare_s Thank you so much, Sarah! I didn't realize how fun needle felting could be! I miss you and all the ladies in our special pod. I hope you're doing well during these crazy times.

@MsSophiaLe How inviting! It’s so fun to see the thought & joy you put into creating space for you students to grow & thrive!

I think needle felting has awakened the creative side of me. What shall I poke next? #needlefelting

My first, of soon to be many, Dollarama hauls. Looking forward to hearing what stories my students will tell with these materials 🎃🍁

In #outdoorlearning today, Grade 1&2s created their own forest perfumes. Students asked questions, made comparisons, and honed in their senses. #sd36learn

@MsLRey @gcitywildcats @Clantoons What a bunch of cuties!! ❤️

One of my favourite activities that incorporates the #corecompetencies, writing, and art! “Ms.Le, I’m being careful like Salmon!” Students are living and breathing the core competencies #sd36learn

Coffee? Check ✅ Reusable mug? Check ✅ Ready for Monday? 🤞@JamesArdielElem #BYOCup

@Kimen_RMT Congratulations! Hope you two are having an amazing time in Tofino!

I still say becoming a massage therapist was the second smartest thingI have done in my life!! #10years #anniversary #Tofino #smartmove #happyanniversarybabe

@msledlin Thank you so much for sharing your story workshop template, Melanie! The students did so well using the new format to record their stories.

#storyworkshop continues to be a classroom favourite! This week, we focused on creating a detailed setting in our stories. Prison castles, snowy mountains, and underwater worlds helped to spark creativity in our stories.
