Lots of great sharing and learning for Peel District School Board teachers in the latest EML newsletter bit.ly/novemlnewslett…. It is not an easy time for anyone (in education), but we will continue to support and grow from each each other. We are the teachers of the future generation.

This week we have community connection events with Malton BDA and Toronto Pearson as we discuss careers & pathways for our Peel District School Board middle and sec. school students. I am in awe at the vast variety of careers available at the airport; a small city within Peel. Thanks to all.

Reflecting on a day of co-learning with students Peel District School Board. Loved sharing in the happiness of reuniting with peers and sadly noticed the struggles that still exist for some in colonial based systems. Sometimes we need to re-position ourselves to recognize inequities.

The 2022-23 year is full of hope with a return to 'normal'. I had two grade nine classes today, and their enthusiasm inspired me tremendously. Unknowing to me, a student was sketching me while we were engaging in introductory activities. My heart soared!

I invited students to explore every nook of our classroom and share something interesting on Jamboard. It is an old Tech room, hence many secret treasures! Top choices: 7" vinyls, 3D printer, model bridge w/ working electronics, bracelets (from a prev. jewellery making course).

For our 1st end-of-week reflection, the activity the majority of students chose was the open-ended tour of the classroom. Students are naturally curious and want to explore. My goal is to include outdoor activities into our ExploringTech program. Looking for ideas Rob Ridley.

I am trying to think outside of the box to bring #outdoored into the classroom. For our scaled furniture project we gathered materials in the woods next to the school yesterday, and today we started building to the scaled drawings. Messy and amazing!
