Division 8 students created felted moons and wrote an artist statement to represent what they’ve learned in Socials and Science. We were inspired by the book Taan’s Moon. @SD38Arts
Another amazing Joy of Arts Conference organized by @SD38Arts Highlights were Keynote speaker Ruby Singh and presenter @s_trujillo Sofia Trujillo.

"If you want others to try something new, just a reminder that “going first” in educational leadership is synonymous with “learning first.” The easiest way to help others embrace change is to let them watch you embrace it first."

Bienvenue à la Salle de jeux éphémère de Div 8 (3/4 EFI)! We spent 3 weeks creating our games using the design process. C’était tellement amusant! @MFirebirds @SD38Arts @RichmondSD38

Sadly, most teachers, especially French immersion teachers, have no resources to support them so they have no choice other than to turn to:
✅TPT
✅Pinterest
✅Make their own
Most public citizens don’t realize that a curriculum only provides the expectations, not the resources to support getting the students to meet the expectations. I’ve spent hundreds of hours creating my own resources to teach my L2 learners. Every teacher I know has to reinvent the wheel. Not a good use of their time.

Some of my past success is by breaking down goals into three parts; big, medium and small.
I start with the big goal I want to achieve, whether personal or professional, and then have things I want to achieve each week (medium) and day (small) that will help me get closer to that big goal. With each medium and small win, I feel more confident in the big goals that I'm pursuing.
Here's an example from when I was trying to lose weight:
Big goal - lose 120 pounds
Medium goal - lose 1-3 pounds a week
Small goals - certain amount of steps, pushups, and 45-60 grams of protein per meal (3 per day)
I eventually hit the big goal, but kept the small and medium targets which has helped me with my new big goal of the Disney marathon in January 2024.
Hope this helps someone out there! It definitely helped me.
