A student in my #JASSNBE had her blog chosen to be featured on the #JASSlearns blog! This task requires extensive research, understanding form and purpose for a writing task, and the ability to make insightful connections. jasslearns.blog/2019/12/06/the…

Exclamations of glee and delight this morning in my Grade 11 class as I passed out scratch and sniff stickers. 😂 Big kids are still kids and it brightened everyone’s day!

A grade 10 student today was analysing a poem & when he got to a prompt about imagery he told me he tried to write his thoughts “but then I just decided to draw what the poem made me see in my head”. 😭His sheet is now covered in beautiful sketches #JASSlearns

Today in #ENG2P students paired up to share summaries of their short non-fiction books, ask questions, and find similarities. Talking about what you’re reading helps build comprehension and critical thinking!

My favourite part of my Google Meet check-in today with my Grade 10 Applied students was getting to “meet” a student’s new German Shepard puppy. ☺️

Had my first #JASSNBE breakout Google Meet just now with six amazing Ss talking about land disputes. Blown away by their passion and insights & I’m reminded how much I love being a teacher. 😭

Check out this amazing podcast recorded by one of my #JASSNBE students last semester! And while you’re there, subscribe to our NBE podcast 63Three!

Giving feedback to my #ENG2P classes on their podcasts (using Jackie Westrick ) and listening to them has me grinning ear to ear. They were told to choose a topic they love and wow they came through. I miss my students!!!

I just had an awesome session about analysis doing a live Meet with my #JASSNBE class using JamBoard. Ss were able to post their ideas on colour-coded sticky notes as we worked through the lesson & I recorded the lesson to share with Ss who could not join us.

Listening to my #JASSNBE Gr11 College Ss as they collaborate virtually in breakout rooms to plan podcasts about cultural appropriation and I have to say that despite the hardest year I’ve ever experienced, STUDENTS ROCK. I’m so proud of their perseverance & critical thinking

#JASSNBE got to participate in a livestream with THE notoriouscree and my favourites parts were when he beatboxed with a traditional flute & learning that 5 hoops=the coming together of spirit, mind, body & ancestors. Incredible opportunity TY!

Thank you to Woodland Cultural Centre for a phenomenal learning experience on our virtual field trip yesterday with #JASSNBE students. Our facilitators were exceptional and spent so much time with us for the Q&A. We are grateful to be able to learn with you.

#JASSNBE is grateful to be learning from Isaac Murdoch and Kanahus Manuel today abt land title, resource extraction, violence against Indigenous people, colonialism & solidarity and action. #JASSlearns
