In recent years I have discovered I love novels for youth that are written as poetry…prose poems? The latest one I devoured was Alone by Megan Freeman
Starting in two more sleeps!! Get ready to chat!
Yup. 😂 So many books to buy & collect!!
GenWell has connection campaigns to help people strengthen their well being through connecting with others.
Leona Prince reflects on Leadership as responsibility. Knowledge is not wisdom. Wisdom is knowledge in action.
Kat’il’a: a Lil’wat word that describes the act of seeking spaces of stillness and quietness amidst our busyness and quest for knowledge; advice to stop and listen deeply. Taught to the presenters by Dr. Lorna Williams.
A sample of the actual weaving participants did with yarn and a cardboard loom.

Snuggle inside longingly watching for sun
Rush outside when the sun shines warm
Anticipation borders on impatience
Excitement spills into each morning rising
Delightful birds at the feeders
Don’t put the gloves and touques away just yet
Soon though, soon
The Beginning of Spring in the North
Grey & brown
Snow mostly gone
Migrating birds
Arrivals & departures
Blue Hydrangeas from the store
Seedlings sprouting on the windowsill
Hopeful outdoor furniture arranged
Hail & sleet
Wind and sun
Pussy willows and green tulip tips
Some fave bird shots this spring!
Great capture of the flight. In North Central British Columbia we get hundreds of migrating swans. They are amazing birds!
@noiie.ca wonderful to catch a few inspirational stories from inquiry colleagues around the world!
How have I never heard about Weaving Words Storytelling Festival! In Prince George! Highlighting Indigenous storytelling in all its forms! Fan-girling like crazy! Cherie Demaline, David A Robertson, Richard Van Camp! Local poets & writers sharing their gifts!!

Tariffs on their own do not create more American jobs or lead to more US production. In fact, Trump's last trade war cost roughly 300,000 jobs. All these tariffs will do is give corporations cover to jack up prices and pad their profits at our expense.
Televangelist Pat Robertson once said "I think having a woman president would be a terrible mistake. Women are too emotional to handle high office."
Strange how when men in office shout and berate others in a childish emotional outburst, it's praised by some as "boldly standing up for our country."
Did you know: Strong Nations Publishing has decodable text with Indigenous content. You can check out their Cedar School Decodable series here: www.strongnations.com/store/11698/...

"Force Apple and Spotify to delist far-right podcasts pushing for our annexation. Refuse to accept Donald Trump’s ambassador. Expel any U.S. diplomatic staff that threaten Canadian sovereignty." www.coreyhogan.ca/p/so-donald-...
Grateful that the presenters emphasized the importance of not simply teaching discrete skills in isolation…no transfer! Context, great literature, poetry, close study of language in context!!
Nerding out! Getting to zoom in on some of the building blocks of early literacy development & intervention, refine my knowledge through research highlights, learn about new resources & add to my strategy toolkit.
