Mrs. Aaslie, You Rock!

Well, lately I have been focusing on the Art Show...and inspiration. I thought I would combine those thoughts today and talk about what inspired me in the art show :) My cohort did, of course! All of you facilitated amazing projects in your class. Beautiful, meaningful projects. Recently a teacher in my school asked me what I thought of my cohort - what kind of people they are. I was proud to say that I think that you are all great. I said that we work together well and that I think that there are soooo many great teachers in the cohort, they really make me happy about the future for students. I might have not sounded quite as gushy as that sounded but really, that is the truth, I have come to respect you all so much. This event really enforced that respect for all of you.

As an example, Mrs. Aaslie rocked this art show. Now, Laura inspires me all the time. She is a great teacher, amazingly dedicated student and a loving mother. She has given so much to be here in Prince George and in the end, it will be her students that get the advantage from that price paid because she is going to be such an amazing teacher. Her art work that she brought to the show was amazing. Inspired. Beautiful. Every piece of art was frame worthy and some were far more than that.

If that wasn't enough, there is more! There was a really great lesson to accompany this art. Students were able to learn about identity, First Nations culture and hard work, among many other lessons I'm sure. It was such a neat experience to hear Laura talk about each of her students and their process towards their masterpieces. You could tell that she was invested into each and every one of them. 

So, kudos to you Mrs. Aaslie. You have inspired me and many others.
