And we’re back!
This morning, I had the privilege of facilitating our first staff session for the year, diving into the importance of understanding our values as educators.
Knowing what drives us helps us connect better with our work, our students, and each other.

Discovering this book felt like I’d found a hidden treasure. Filled with beautiful, thought provoking questions and images - too many uses in the classroom to name them all.

Yellow butterfly is a beautiful #nowords #picturebook capturing the heart of the conflict in Ukraine. We used it as an tool during our #inquiry into #symbolism and how stories can be told.

Such a powerful narrative with beautiful images.

Follows the story of a little girl who HATES books - but is introduced to a word of imagination, discovering
how wonderful books can really be.

Perfect for jump starting literature and love of reading conversations.

#9 is an old favourite

This book reminds us that every misstep can lead to unexpected creativity and growth—a celebration of imperfection as part of the journey. A perfect tool as we set up our classroom community.

10 school days left and as I pack up my room for a move I thought a #top10picturebooks of 2024 was in order

#10 was used to launch our first inquiry for the year

It beautifully illustrates how expanding our circles of connection can foster kindness, inclusivity, and a sense of belonging.
