Niigaan Sinclair Lecture tonight!

Thank you to our JEDI committee for organizing our second Diversiti-tea event. Some students in grade 7&8 enjoyed conversations and Q&A with MLA Tyler Blashko and MLA Jelynn Dela Cruz. Did you know Jelynn is a RETSD grad?

We hosted our first Diversi-Tea with guest speaker and Gold medal Olympian Desiree Scott. She shared her story and some barriers she needed to overcome to become an Olympic athlete. Her story was inspiring to many ADMS students.

Every day leading up to our class, the grade 6s tell me that they can’t wait to sew! This class did so well with problem solving and were eager to make more projects 🧵🪡 we also used up a lot of our scraps with this project!

Just some Pokémon training in the Textiles Lab this year!

Our reversible octopuses are alive and well! 🐙

Clothing design challenge with our guest teacher! Students weren’t able to sew but they were still able to create!

Using our fabric scraps!

Fast Fashion and Math. "Shirts Happen", a wonderful project with tons of Math and the environmental and social impact of the garment industry. Thanks to @MsCCunanan for demo this morning as we finished off the 3 week project!

Just a couple hand sewing projects from the grade 6s!

Traditional Clothing for our Cultural Spirit Week! ✨

Getting ready for Lunar New Year! 🪭🎊🧧🥟🥠🌸🎋🎍

@Candacerea1 Thank you! ☺️

Guiding students through their learning involves accessible resources that can help them independently problem solve. Here’s a tool I’ve created to support students on how to correctly thread their sewing machines!🪡

@richroberts76 Thank you! 😊

@MsCCunanan Love this!!

There’s been a crime in the Clothing lab!

Made a giant needle plate and presser foot to help students understand seam allowance!

My Saturday looked like this! Another day teaching 😊
