About Mme Evelyne
Born in Québec City, my first language is French. Like most of your children, I learned my second language in kindergarten, but for me, that language was English. I have been a French immersion teacher for 12 years in both primary and intermediate and have been at South Sa-Hali elementary for 9 years. I hold a Bachelor of Arts (honours psychology) and a Bachelor of Education from the University of British Columbia with specializations in childhood language acquisition and French immersion education. I have recently earned a Master of Education from Thompson Rivers University with a research project on building the classroom community.
I am the lucky mother of three wonderful children, Owen (grade 2), Liam (K) and Ella (2 years) who have taught me so much about myself, children, and teaching in such a short amount of time.
My teaching philosophy involves creating a collaborative learning community of students, parents and staff. I apply many strategies from the Reggio Emilia philosophy, the First People’s Principles of Learning and socio-constructivist theories of education. These include the importance of the learning space, a connection with our natural environment and hands-on inquiry. As such, (current health and safety standards permitting) students will often work in pairs, groups and as a class in flexible spaces. They will use many different materials and strategies to show their learning. Peer and class discussions occur daily and questions are always encouraged. I work hard to maintain consistent routines, develop student independence and maintain high expectations throughout the year.
About Mme Sophie
Bonjour!
My name is Sophie, and I will be student teaching in Mme Evelyne’s classroom throughout this school year. I am currently completing my Bachelor of Education through TRU and will be graduating this coming spring.
I have lived in Kamloops for nearly my whole life and attended Lloyd George Elementary and South Kamloops Secondary schools growing up. So, I have been taught by many of the same teachers that you know!
After high school I moved to Calgary where I completed my Bachelor of Science, so I welcome any and all science questions that you may have!
Outside of school I love to spend my time hiking, skiing, and hanging out with my animals. I have four dogs and two cats, and they are all amazing.
My goal once I graduate is to teach the lower elementary grades and eventually return to school to get a Master’s in special education. I am so excited to be in your class this year and I look forward to getting to know each and every one of you!
