My First Post! & Day of Pink

Starting a teaching/classroom blog has been on my mind for awhile now. I enjoy reading what other people share and often find inspiration from the work of other teachers. Yet, the blog still didn't happen. Then a few days ago I was reading an article about teaching in the age of technology and one of the points was about teachers using technology to share with one another. The article said that it is our professional responsibility to share and encourage one another. That was the final push I needed to give it a try. So here it is. Life in Grade 4 :) Today was Day of Pink at our school. We spent the morning talking about what bullying is, the impact bullying can have on people and what we can do about it. The kids were really wanting to do something to share the message so they split into small groups and each created a skit about how to handle different forms of bullying. I am really proud of how hard they worked and can't wait to see the finished video once I have some help editing it. I want to share the video that really inspired my students this morning. It is Shane Koyczan's TO THIS DAY and can be found below. Enjoy! VIDEO
