What are the little moments and micro moves that contribute to this idea of community weaving? What is one small step we can take each day in our learning spaces - indoors & in nature? #sd38learn @RichmondSD38 @lkmaclean
Diving into this MOOC @UBC_PDCE on Nurturing Childhoods thru Indigenous Ways of Knowing. How do we nourish the environment to foster a sense of identity & belonging with children? What does this look like in community? #sd38learn @sd38ELCC @UBCtelp @noiie_bc

Outdoor learning on a crisp autumn morning- what changes do you notice? What is calling for your attention? @RichmondSD38 #sd38learn
Navigating change takes courage & community. “Wowk Cares” as centre of the school, student voice shared as leaves nourished by sun & water, rooted in collective values. How might we tend the soil & create conditions for a flourishing ecosystem? @RichmondSD38 @noiie_bc
Grounding the start of our school year with captured moments of CARE and student voice around what it means to be brave. How will our shared values provide a strong foundation for growth? @RichmondSD38 #sd38learn

Official launch day of my second children’s picture book, Finding Common Ground. A tale of self-discovery in nature! The best way to support a launch day is to purchase a paperback copy and then leave a thoughtful 5-star review. Thx! amazon.ca/Finding-Common-Gro…
