Thanks to @SurreyChristian students who planted herbs & flowers, raked leaves, & assembled our Medicine Wheel at The Pencil Patch this week. Also, thanks to the @Abbotsfordfdn (through the Abbotsford Disaster Relief Fund), & @FirstWestFDN for helping to bring the garden to life!

@bcaitc @SurreyChristian @Abbotsfordfdn @FirstWestFDN It was a delightful day! Thank you for this rich learning experience for the students!

Thank you @cari_locken for inviting the students to make angels in connection with the Christmas concert! #instrumentsofchange

We had so much fun making these deliveries! #realaudience #teachingfortransformation

@peterhreynolds The gr 3 students loved being invited into this! They had fun brainstorming quite the list of possibilities! As a class, they narrowed their ideas to, A Can of Imagination, starring Leo as the main character. Thank you for sharing this drawing and wondering with all of us!

It’s a blessing to hear students refer to each other as coaches and celebrate their own growth while thanking their peer coach. #longtermlearningtarget

Found this on the board this week. #storyline #tft #studentownership

Grateful for refugees who are willing to share their stories. It’s powerful for students to hear these stories firsthand.

@TriciaStobbe Wow! Thanks, Tricia!

Favourite article: pgs 23-25 where Gr. 5 teacher @p_zuidhof shares how her stu’s experienced immigration & multiculturalism as Community Builders and Image Reflectors by meaningfully serving and interacting with Syrian & Iraqi refugee families. I want to be in her class!!

“Changes require open-mindedness, flexibility, patience, and courage. Changing curriculum is about changing your mind first and then forming some new habits and routines as you abandon old ones.” Hayes Jacobs

“Assume positive intent.”

My favourite part of today was the impromptu way the students both met and articulated how they were meeting their deep hope for our unit, all because they saw a problem and desired to take action. #plasticuse #changemakers
