“My Beyond Classrooms experience has changed how I teach. I speak less and my students speak more.” “Learning to teach through Inquiry has changed me as a teacher.” “It was probably the best week of my 25 years of teaching.”

“This artifact makes me feel proud to be free in Canada... This artifact has made me more interested in every soldier past and story." – Grade 6-7 student "Coming here has been very worthwhile. I have enjoyed being here very much and would like to come here again. I wish I had more time here. I have learned a lot about art... I learned that art can tell a lot about the Canadian identity. " – Grade 3-4 student "My favourite part was journaling because I could learn and

  • bserve all the things I found interesting." – Grade 5 student
