Never a dull moment at LTTA.
The flurry of activity that culminated with the fabulous Music Champion Celebration on June 11 (already well described by Nicole) didn't end the flow of intensity and creativity.
Adding text and arranging flowers as an opening activity at the Equity workshop
On June 12, we held our LTTA Spring Artist-Educator PD session in conjunction with the Artist-Educator Level III training course on the topic of “Power & Privilege”.
It was an equity workshop conducted by Shafik Aziz from The Harmony Movement. There was lots of thought provoking activities and good learning on the theme of equity. Carlie and l lead an opening and closing activity involving flowers and thoughts of what is unique that you bring to the workshop and what you will be taking away from it. Purchasing the flowers with Carlie that morning was a perfumed treat for that day.

On June 17, I was at Sagonaska School documenting some of the teachers' responses to the LTTA Digital Media Arts project that Martha Newbigging had lead there. Such an open and accomplished group of teachers participated in the program. They had positive and very useful comments to help shape future incarnations of the project. As I left the school I noticed a stunning tree that I hadn't seen before. This beautiful, variegated maple tree stands in front of the school. Most of the leaves have a delicate pale green fringe around a darker green centre. However, there are some branches that stood out with fully green leaves. It was unusual to see these two different types of leaves beaming so vibrantly from one tree. I marvelled at this tall stretch of nature, as I stood with the sun on my back on this warm June day.

Looking forward to our next cup of tea together.
