The Prairie Sunrise School 1/2s have been focusing on making skills and exploring their creativity during library classes. One of my favourite challenges is making a new shoe for Pete the Cat. Measuring, designing, fastening, decorating.

We are so excited to announce our 2024 Fall Conference for @mbteachers #mtspdday with keynote speaker David A. Robertson! Register here mbteach.org/mtscms/mts-pd-…

MSLA Conference Session: This session will inspire all library support personnel at any stage in their career to create a personalized toolkit of useful professional resources to become more successful in their role. Presenters: Krista Siemens and Kathleen Atkins Manitoba Library Association

Conference Session: Through personal stories & experiences, we'll explore the transformative & therapeutic power of losing yourself & finding yourself in a book. We'll share tools for building libraries filled with diverse representation & the vital information students seek.

MSLA Conference Session: Through learning how to do Indigenous beadwork, knowledge of Math & Science is intertwined with every stitch. Using the Beads & Coding book by Michelle Carriere at WISE Kid-Netic Energy, learn how math & binary code can be used in an interactive way.

Gaining a global perspective is an important step to becoming a global citizen. A global citizen is someone who sees & understands the ways that we are all connected & acts responsibly. Join Amanda to focus on global citizenship, book suggestions, & resources from MCIC

Why are books being challenged? What actions can be taken in schools, libraries, & communities? How can we respond when freedom to read is under threat? This discussion will delve into the problem of book bannings & the measures that can be taken when a book faces scrutiny.

Discover ways to leverage objects as powerful tools to enrich learning & foster meaningful connections to content. Explore how to transform classrooms into dynamic learning environments where students interact with tangible materials to deepen their understanding.

Take a tour of three projects for K-12 students. Hear about the Level Up Winnipeg, find resources for Manito Ahbee Aki, make curriculum connections, & see student designs & challenges. Learn practical classroom tips & bring learning to life in Minecraft. mbteach.org/mtscms/mts-pd-…

Join me for my @mbteachers #mtspdday session on using objects to engage learners and spark curiosity and question asking. We’ll do some hands on activities with artifacts and explore some examples in this fun 1hour session. Register here: mbteach.org/mtscms/mts-pd-…

An amazing morning with David A. Robertson sharing about representation and book banning. To fight book challenges we have to stay informed, report to authors, promote books, spread the word, and speak out.

An amazing set of sessions today at the MSLA Fall Conference 2024 for #mtspdday . Thank you to our presenters for sharing your knowledge and ideas.
