My mom’s friend’s 15 year old daughter was tragically hit by a car outside Lord Byng on January 30. A friend of the family has set up a Go Fund Me to help with costs.

A2: in math teaching I focus the most on collaboration and communication because that is so clearly connected to the learning standards but also emphasize creative thinking and the concept of identity #bcedchat

With the cold weather we decided to prepare our garden for winter. Favourite quote today as we tucked our garden in with a warm blanket of leaves was, “are you a warm and cozy garden”. @LoraSarchet

We read Ducks Overboard and then used our table tops to work out a math problem based on Ducks Overboard. We chose our own numbers of ducks in the ocean and then figured out how many would land in different places around our world.

Today’s rain provided the perfect opportunity to reenact our salmon journey stories in a new environment. We found joy in puddles but it didn’t take long for a real world knot to emerge “Can or should the water and land be owned?” Much to unpack tomorrow #sd36learn

Building on our understanding of how the salmon help the forest as well as decomposing numbers. Students chose a number of nutrients to place on their salmon and then decided how they would share the nutrients with the forest. This student hasn’t finished hers yet.

It was the first time I heard this child find himself in a published text. No prompt necessary. Just time and invitation to play.

Yesterday was a beautiful day for a neighbourhood walk. So many discoveries were made. Our favourite was watching the Steller’s Jay in the trees.
