Episode 5: Jacquie, Burlington, and a Passion for Primary

Every Square Centimetre

In episode 5, Jacquie De Raaf at Trinity Christian School in Burlington, Ontario, invites us into her grade 2 classroom with sound walls and timelines where students meet Jesus. Join the ESC “Cast” as we learn: chair take-down can be seriously risky business; that colour matters in a teacher’s wardrobe; what a Bruce Trail “end to ender” is; that 26 letters equals 42 phonemes, especially on Jacquie’s Sound Wall; the significance of the Hebrew phrase Tohu vavohu; that it’s time to start planning class trips to Israel; that twins actually share the same birthday; and what it might look like to embody a school’s mission statement.
