Great album to transition to summer! I think l will listen tomorrow, even though school isn’t out for my daughter until June 26.

I was out for a walk today and found myself changing my route to try to find where a stream was headed

I missed the story this morning, but the CBC What on Earth episode this week on daylighting was inspiring. There is a creek near us that disappears closer to our house - have often wondered about it.

That would have been great. I’m sorry it didn’t get the support.

Oh wow! That would be a fabulous field trip. I should remember this idea when our provincial archive moves to a new building that can accommodate more visitors.

Last year my Socials Methods courses felt so packed, that I reluctantly I dropped my field trip to model place-based learning. My colleague David Sufrin and I rectified that yesterday with a Math and Socials trip to downtown Nanaimo. What do you always make time for? #teachereducation#edusky
