Checking out our new Burnside Education Centre with Jim Soles. Flurries of activity. Apparently, like Shelley Green, I was also turned down in my request for a pink hard hat. #sd61

I am a confident adult on a business trip. It still makes me a little nervous to go down to the meeting space, and ask to sit with a bunch of people I don’t know. Definitely something to think about as educators when we just casually tell students “ok, find a partner”.

The amount of “have a great first day” texts and messages I am getting reminds me of how many amazingly supportive and talented people I’m surrounded by in this district. It is getting me even more pumped for a great school year. #sd61

Apparently I can’t go to Mexico without running into SD61 admin. This IS a large country, right? Third time now. #sd61learn jeni scott

When someone hasn't read a classic book, I always try to say "Oh! What a treat you have ahead of you!" rather than "I can't believe you haven't read this!" because no one wants to be shamed into reading. We should lead with our delight in literature, not our pretentiousness.
