Our Alexis Park Elementary Pride Club made this beautiful welcome banner! I’m so proud of them - they are so brave and so kind.
Yesterday @MLA_Sandhu and I had an amazing visit to Alexis Park Elementary in Vernon where we got to meet with students and see the accessible playground that was recently built at the school while announcing the newest round of funding for playground enhancements across BC!

#teachertwitter what’s a key piece of advice or guidance when preparing for the first day with new students? Tomorrow feels like my biggest career day yet. I get to spend the year with these kids. I already care so much about them and deeply want them to feel welcome in my class.

I got to spend the first week of school welcoming new students to AP. It was a challenge to host students from grades 1-7 but so cool to see how brave and courageous they all were stepping into a new school and new community. As always, I learned from these wonderful students.

I get to meet my new students tomorrow. I’m a first year teacher and so truly grateful to have a classroom of my own. I am thankful for the opportunity to work on the beautiful Syilx territory at Alexis Park Elementary in SD22 @alexis_apark @SD22Vernon.

I like fashion and consider myself a stylish person from time to time (whatever that means) but on the other hand I would love to never have to choose another outfit in my life ever again.

Been thinking about this a lot and today I saw this great graphic. Teachers: there is no reason or situation that you should be addressing your class by saying “boys and girls” no matter the age of the students.

I haven’t seen my psychiatrist in 6 months and now I apparently need a re-referral. No one ever told me this. I don’t have a family doctor. It was a traumatic experience to get the referral in the first place. My psychiatrist was my lifesaver and now I can’t even make an appt.

I got a new job (my first teaching job! /TTOC/) two weeks ago. I worked 6 work days and then got covid. Today is day 5 of isolation but I still have symptoms so am playing it safe and waiting for a negative test to return to schools. Send good vibes! I just want to be working.
