I officially go back to work on Thursday of this week for two teacher workdays, and then the students return on Tuesday after Labour day. I was working in my classroom all day [...]]]></description>

After school let out, I went to work for a week with our Provincial department of education correcting 6th grade literacy assessments with [...]]]></description>

We did 14 activity stations in the morning and our talent show in the afternoon. I am SO pleased with how the day went. We worked so hard to [...]]]></description>

I can hardly believe that there are only 33 school days left! This past week I had a big moment &#8211; my primary and elementary choirs performed in our local music festival. [...]]]></description>

With the school year slowly winding down (can you believe it&#8217;s already April!?), there&#8217;s still so much left to do! [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week I was on outdoor duty. I witnessed a little girl in grade 1 chasing a little boy in grade 3. It was funny enough watching him try to evade her, but what made it all that much better was her shouting, &#8220;Don&#8217;t worry, R.C., I don&#8217;t need to catch you. You&#8217;re my boyfriend [...]]]></description>

The snow days have allowed me many hours in the classroom to plan, organize, and clean. Today, however, I began reading (or [...]]]></description>

I love research and writing almost as much as I love teaching! I realize that one can never [...]]]></description>

We don&#8217;t get a lot in terms of technology, usually the bigger schools get the cream of the crop, but we are starting to see some new things [...]]]></description>
