I covered a leave for 3 months at Wheatland Crossing School. During my time I taught Grade 7 LA and Social Studies, Grade 8 Health and Grade 9 LA and Health.
Technology in the Classroom
I used a lot of technology and Google Classroom in my teaching. I found this a great way for students to complete assignments, to organize resources to complete the assignments and for me to keep track of assignments being handed in and for marking.

Active and COLLABORATIVE LEARNING
I always find ways to use active and collaborative learning in my classroom to teach students. In my LA 7 class we used a variety of Drama activities to help students brainstorm setting, characters and story lines when writing their own short stories. I also got my students to participate in a Fur Trade Simulation to get a deeper understanding of how the fur trade worked in early Canada, what the different roles were and how everyone contributed to make the fur trade work.
