Hey Ya’ll!
Thanks for visiting my site! Here, you can find everything from unit plans and STEM activities to my journey of being a mom and educator!
As a middle & high school educator, nutritionist, wife, mom, and life-long learner (a fancy way of saying I’m constantly taking classes or learning new skills) life can get pretty hectic.

Digital Citizenship Course
Learning in North America resembles a Eurocentric design that has not changed for centuries and is tailored to the needs and lifestyle of non-Indigenous learners. I believe in a well-representative form of education that incorporates belonging for all and feeds a wider array of learners. Today’s world is moving in the direction of technology-centered education and there is an opportunity to make it applicable and accessible to all learners. The link below will lead you to a course I am developing on the teachings of digital citizenship (as laid out by Dr. Mike Ribble) with an implementation of Indigenous Teachings and Ways of Knowledge.
Be patient as it is a work in progress.
All About My Thinking Classroom - (SASK TC)
11 years ago, I began my teaching journey and acquired a strong passion for inquiry-based learning. I found students had the ability to gain not only academic knowledge but also life skills through inquiry-based assignments. Students could develop their problem-solving skills, organizational skills, and independence. I began signing up for every Inquiry Professional Development opportunity that I could. Cue Peter Liljedahl and the Thinking Classroom.
The PD was life-changing. I was filled with new energy for teaching! The very next day I briefed my class on what I had learned and that we were going to try this together and just JUMP IN! A 60-minute class was completed in 37 minutes, we were all shocked and the kids were motivated to keep going so I moved into the next day’s lesson and completed that one too; all in the 60-minute class period.
Now I share my lessons, experiments, and units on Instagram and this platform to allow everyone access to the life-altering teaching structure that is Thinking Classroom.
