Happy to be getting started on course 8 for me! The end of my MET is in sight! It has been such an incredible journey so far and I feel like I really have transformed my classroom practice through the three and a half years I have been in this program. I live in Calgary, AB. I teach Grade 3 French Immersion with a small amount of release time to work as a Learning Leader, as a part of which I get to work with other teachers on how to integrate technology in their teaching practice. I&#8217;m excited to be undertaking this course right now because our school&#8217;s school development plan is related to math this year, so I&#8217;m excited to see how I can better leverage technology in math teaching and learning.<\/p>\n<p>I am a mom to two littles who I love to explore the mountains with! We can often be found hiking and camping. I was incredibly proud of my six-year-old this summer for managing to summit Sulphur Mountain (he had a blast waving at the people riding the gondola up) and to climb to the Lake Agnes tea house. I find the trail and sitting around a bonfire to be the best places for conversations with them.<\/p>\n<p>I love riding my bike and commute to work by bike as often as I can. I run when I can and usually &#8220;race&#8221; a couple of half marathons each year&#8230; if you can can call a turtle&#8217;s pace racing&#8230; lol&#8230; I&#8217;m just getting my money&#8217;s worth out of the course.<\/p>\n<p>Looking forward to getting to know all of you!<\/p>\n<p>Tracy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello everyone!
