Doing a little summer reading. Came across this quote… 💜 it!!!

Lord Jesus Christ, look on the people of our land and bless us all. Help us to be brothers and sisters to all the world and to work for peace and love. Be with us, Jesus and bless Canada, for you are our Lord and Saviour for ever. Amen. #CanadaDay

Happy September Educators! 💛 As the new school year kicks off, a kind reminder to take the time for yourself to refuel to better support the students and families you serve ❤️ Keep shining bright in the classroom and beyond 🚀 #unlearn

We are heading toward Christmas: Are we able to take concrete steps of peace? Let every effort be made to address and remove the causes of conflict, to protect civilians, hospitals, places of worship, to free hostages and guarantee human rights.

The second Advent candle represents Peace. “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

Just because a student does not raise their hand, does not mean that they are not thinking deeply about the content. We need to broaden what we mean by engagement in our classrooms/schools. This will invite/value more students (and more diverse voices) in the learning process.

Funny, when students are fully engaged and interested in a task I notice that they never ask: When will I ever use this in my life?
