In the end we looked at the new Birdsong & Bough exhibit, talking about the pretty Christmas trees and the different themes. We noticed the cards on each tree, striking up a conversation about them.

We finally found the coconut tree! We wondered if it would ever grow coconuts. We noticed this really cool flower and I shared how it reminded me of a talking flower just like this in a Disney movie.

We watched the koi for a good 20 minutes and I listened as a that same student talked about koi; then, with another student, we talked about the colours and patterns.

Then we talked about all spice and tumeric; specifically how tumeric can be used as medicine.

We went to The Leaf this afternoon for Learning Through Interests. For ten minutes, a student and I had a conversation about the coffee beans and it was seriously the best conversation ever.

See, students! I really did present in front of a lot of people!

Honoured to be presenting this year at Indspire's National Conference on Indigenous Education, sharing my journey with #BigPictureLearning and the connection with Indigenous Education.

We have had some really great exhibitions since yesterday, with students sharing what they have learned so far. Everyone presented something different, and it has been awesome watching their growth! #bigpicturelearning

After our day at The Winnipeg Humane Society, we went down the street for a brief lesson on Rooster Town and the dispossession of the Métis.

I am Métis and only recently learned about Rooster Town, two years ago. FYI - Dr. Laura Forsythe is an amazing professor!

We visited the Winnipeg Humane Society today for our LTI (Learning Through Interests) outing. We helped them prep for an event next week; toured, and met some cute and cuddly animals! P.S. Ricky is a year old good boy who is looking for a furever home!
