I Became a Teacher?!

I Became a Teacher?!

Every weekday, I attend school and listen to my teachers teach. For this assignment, my listening skills were put to the test. I was questioned, “How well do I really know how to teach?” because the roles were reversed, and it was my turn to teach the teachers.   The Assignment I’ve had this blog for 3 years, and while I’ve changed and grown as a person, my blog’s format and content haven’t, and neither have my skills for updating…

A habit is defined as “an automatic behaviour that is repeated frequently, becoming so routine that it is performed with little or no conscious thought”.

What if I told you that a butterfly is the reason our ecosystem is thriving? That’s right, butterflies my be tiny but they have a huge impact on our environment.  I, with the help of my group (Sven, Daniel, Liann, Emilia, Madeline), just finished a project where we strived to answer the driving question, how can we support and protect local pollinators to ensure healthy ecosystems in our community? This was not any old project, it was very important because…

Canada. We live in it. Play in it. Learn in it. Grow in it. But have you ever wondered when all of that happened? Have you ever wondered how and when Canada got its name?

Something Sean Covey, the author of the 7 habits of highly effective teens, calls an RBA or a relationship bank account. An RBA symbolizes the relationships between you and any person you interact with. Every time to talk to someone, do something to someone, etc you are either making a…
