This has been another full week! This week I’ve been able to focus more on what kind of lesson plans and teacher guides I will be completing for the RBCM. The RBCM is excited to focus on Ocean Literacy in its next year of educational programs and resources, so I will be creating some materials around that, as well as a focus on the Living Languages exhibition (which I’m really excited about!)

Courtney and I were also able to act as cultural ambassadors/glorified tour guides to a visiting French travel scout. She has apparently been sent out to see what Canada has to offer, and report back to France! She was particularly interested in the First Nations Gallery and Living Languages exhibit. It was a great opportunity to see how someone from another culture and country took the exhibit in, and to realize how familiar with the exhibit I had become. Her blog is below:

One of the main parts of the week was helping out again with the weekly Kids’ Club and this week I was in charge of writing the blog, so please check it out!

On a side note, the BCTF held a rally across the street from the RBCM on the Legislature lawns during one of our work days. It felt strange just being a bystander! But got to have a look at them from the RBCM’s great view!
