When heading away from home for an outdoor adventure, it’s important to be prepared for planned trip, but also in the event that things go wrong. The following list can be adapted based on the extend of the excursion planned and the potential hazards.
At the different beaches of the Lakelse Lake Provincial Park, wildlife lives in the area and their tracks can be found within the park. The poster below outlines the tracks of coyotes, red squirrels, moose, and Canada geese, which all live in the area.

As a final project for a novel study in the class I had my practicum in, students made paperbag scrapbooks. It was started before my practicum started but I got to see the creativity of the students as they were finishing them up in the first week. The image below is from pinterest but it follows the same format and style.
During the November practicum, some of my lessons had very little interaction between the students. It’s something I want to do differently in the final practicum (that starts tomorrow). I’ve been searching up ideas online for engaging students with each other and found a fantastic blog post on “Cult of Pedagogy” that has some great ideas.
For EDUC 402 Diverse Classrooms
An important thing to practice as an educator is being anti-racist. It goes a lot further than simply not being racist. If you say you’re not racist, it may mean you aren’t participating in racist actions or microaggressions, but being anti-racist means being an active-witness. It means you actively address racist actions that you witness. This is important as an educator because kids sometimes don’t understand why what they are saying or doing is wrong if they’re copying the actions of an adult or another student. It’s also important to address racist actions of students while they’re still young and impressionable so they can be anti-racist adults. Furthermore, being anti-racist means you’re standing up for and protecting a student or adult that someone is being racist towards. Not only is it ethically right to protect the students, it also aligns with the first Standard for BC Educators which states that “educators value the success of all students. Educators care for students and act in their best interests.” Being anti-racist means valuing the success of everyone in the class.
