This curriculum covers a range of instructional requirements and intended outcomes. The Curriculum provides the expectations and standards of learning for the subjects at each grade level.  The Curriculum also describes the conceptual foundations and big picture ideas that emerge from subject-area learning.

Saskatchewan Tutors

I believe that the goal of education is to enrich the lives of students while producing articulate, expressive thinkers and lifelong learners who are socially responsible, resilient and active citizens of the world. Education is about teaching students, not subjects. It is about engaging students in their learning and maximizing the potential of each and every child. Education is about looking beyond the child’s intellect, and seeing the whole child. Education is about providing students with opportunities to be challenged and still succeed.
In my personal and professional life, I have always had one guiding principle: be willing and have the ability to teach and learn. It is also necessary for effective learning to have a teaching and learning style that is very interactive (when and where possible), giving students the opportunity to participate actively.
It is my passion to help students reach their fullest potential while providing a secure, caring, supportive and stimulating teaching environment for them. My love for children and love of the subjects teach is showcased in my classrooms.

About Regina, Saskatchewan

Regina is a city in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan, as well as the capital city. It is located on the Wascana Lake, and it is the second largest municipality in Saskatchewan; Regina is relatively large, covering an area of 180km2, and housing a population of 236,481. Regina was previously the seat of government of the North-West Territories, of which the current provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta originally formed part, and of the District of Assiniboia. The site was previously called Wascana (“Buffalo Bones” in Cree), but was renamed to Regina (Latin for “Queen”) in 1882 in honour of Queen Victoria. This decision was made by Queen Victoria’s daughter Princess Louise, who was the wife of the Governor General of Canada, the Marquess of Lorne. In recent years, Saskatchewan’s agricultural and mineral resources have come into new demand, and it has entered a new period of strong economic growth.

According to the 2011 Canadian Census, the population of Regina is 193,100, a 7.7% increase from 2006. The population density is 1,327.6 people per square km. The median age is 37.1 years old (48.5 for women and 38.5 for men), which is lower than the median age of Canada at 40.6 years old. Most residents in Regina speak English (98.1%), and a small number speak French (1.3%). 12.3% of the population’s mother tongue was something other than English or French; German (1.4%), Tagalog (1.3%), Chinese (1.0%), Ukrainian (0.8%), Urdu (0.6%), Punjabi (0.5%), Spanish (0.5%) and Vietnamese (0.5%).

From Stephanie B on FlickrStone Hall Castle

Stone Hall Castle was originally designed and constructed by Francis Nicholson Darke as a stronghold for his wife, Annie. The castle brings the incredible Medieval European experience to Western Canada. The history of the castle is almost as interesting as the original owner was. It is little known that the first Darke residence, located where the Hotel Saskatchewan stands today, was destroyed during the terrifying cyclone of 1912, which ripped a path through buildings in downtown Regina, causing tons of damage. The story goes that Darke’s wife was so terrified by the cyclone that she pleaded with him to build a new fortress, where she could feel safe again. If it weren’t for this natural disaster, this castle would probably never have been built.  In the back half of his life, with children all grown up and moved out, Darke decided it was finally time to build Annie her fortress. He decided on the most durable and tough stone building materials, designed in order to withstand Prairie cyclones and other natural disasters. Cost was of no worry for Darke, who was quite wealthy, he imported the exact limestone used on the Regina Legislative Building, a bold and unprecedented move, and work began. In 1926, Darke, with the help of the finest masons, carpenters and artisans of his time, finally delivered on his promise to his wife and presented her with a solid stone fortress, complete with a full stone roof and special bomb shelter in the basement.

Royal Saskatchewan Museum

The Royal Saskatchewan Museum got its start in 1906, when a museum was formed to “secure and preserve natural history specimens and objects of historical and ethnological interest”. Since then, the Museum’s directive has expanded to use these specimens and objects to educate communities through their programs, exhibits, and research programs. Through explicitly defining their visions, mission and mandate, they provide themselves with a guidepost and set of guidelines to follow when designing and building new exhibits, delivering programs and performing research. Their current vision involves creating a society wherein natural and cultural heritage is understood and appreciated. Their mission chiefly consists of collecting, preserving, interpreting and sharing knowledge with local communities. They will see fit to consider themselves as successful when “all people are fully involved in this process of learning and understanding, and, therefore, are able to interpret the world around them and make informed and wise decisions regarding their cultures and resources.” The RSM desires to further the understanding of the province’s natural history and aboriginal cultures, both past and present. It communicates that understanding through all available media, especially exhibits and publications, in a culturally and scientifically sensitive manner for the purposes of education and enjoyment. The Museum’s principal means of understanding and communicating is through acquisition, conservation and research of appropriate material evidence of human and natural history.

Chalk Talk: Allowing Your Child to be Challenged

Being a parent is hard. You go from doing everything to nurture a baby to letting them drive off to a movie and there is a lot of time in between. An important lesson to teach your children before they are adults is how to persevere through a challenge and not give up. They might not always succeed in their quest. But it is important to teach them how to try. Although it might be tempting to swoop in and help them be it tying their shoe, working on that math problem, or building the science project - hold back sometimes. Frustration can be a good teacher.
