Episode 18: Laura, Victoria and Rand's Rangers

Every Square Centimetre

In episode 18, Laura Rand welcomes us into her grade 1 classroom where students are excited to play their important part as “Rangers,” caring for the earth and doing important tasks in God’s world. Join the ESC “Raft” as we learn: - that Darren bought a lot of Smartie McFlurries for love in high school - that Pacific Christian School takes territory acknowledgment seriously by including it directly on their home page - how Victoria’s Empress Hotel brings the British into the name British Columbia - where the band 54-40 got the inspiration for their name - how being a ranger is exactly the Christian role that Laura wants to embody with her grade 1 students, especially after she was labelled as being in a “bad class” growing up - that tree planting just might be the ideal job training for designing a natural primary classroom. - that dyslexia and reading requires personalized care and support, and - why Laura describes her first ever class – a split grade – as “we were wild, we were nuts, we were happy, and I loved it.” Connect with Laura at [email protected].
