I loved how the video displayed so many wonderful memories through fundraisers, sports, activities, and lots of collaboration and teamwork. It made me realize how much I want to be involved with my future career as a teacher. Beyond teaching kids in the classroom setting, being involved in your students' experiences at the school you teach at. This involvement shows your support for your students, beyond the curriculum. This can make long lasting impacts toward their lives and yours as their teacher!

The video really reminded me of how much I enjoyed going on field trips as a kid and how, when growing up, your experiences at school really define who may become. The importance of travelling and learning different things in a new environment creates great memories and experiences that, during elementary years, are invaluable.

A major element that will define me in my upcoming teacher lifestyle is to create a classroom environment where it can be a second family to not only myself, but to the kids (most importantly). Having a space where trust and understanding is valued will encourage a creative space to learn and make learning fun!

The video was heartwarming and was effective at delivering a feeling of sentimentality for elementary life. My elementary experience was similar; however, Notre Dame is not exactly how I envision elementary school given that there was very little multiculturalism. In order for a school to be an accurate microcosm of our community at large, it is essential that individuals from all races, ethnicities, and religions be present. Of course, Notre Dame is a Catholic school, so the lack of variety is to be expected.

The greatest joys of my elementary experience were found through multicultural weeks, and daily discussions about how our differences can make our connections stronger. I hope every student can experience that, and grow beyond the barriers of a single community. :)

The Notre Dame video was an inspiration video with so many friendly faces. The video truly reminded me of how important inclusion is with students. While watching this video I felt excited, a sense of community, belonging, and inspired. The montage video showcased the best parts about each students elementary journey from classroom life and sports events and everything between. Thanks for sharing the video!

Watching the slideshow reminded me how a school is a place or a space where many things happen! Much more than classroom learning, there are sports events, plays, trips. Students are able to stretch and develop in so dynamic ways and learn across subjects and beyond them.

The Notre Dame video brought me back to the positive childhood memories I had during my elementary school experience. The special days depicted in the video, such as spirit days, assemble, and fundraisers, are the moments that stick out in my brain. I feel excited about the fact that as I future teacher, I will have a role in the positive memories of the students I teach. Additionally, the happiness and connection were evident in the smiles of the students and the excitement of the teachers and staff. This connection and positive environment is what I am most excited for as a future teacher.

This video reminded me just how magical a school setting can be. I remember feeling like my grade school was my second home and I want my future students to feel the exact same way. I love how many spirit days your school had, I think these days bring such a sense of community and "home" to a school. I can't wait to dress up and be silly with my students because it is days like those that make individuals in a school or classroom truly feel like they are part of one big happy school family. I hope that I can bring that sense of family, respect and fun to everyday in my future classroom.

This video was wonderful! I love the view that school is cool, as well as dynamic and everchanging. The students want to be there and learn! Having fun together every day with the students and the staff is so impactful in creating a positive culture. Everyone takes part in the different aspects of the school day and it is a real thriving community. I want to see all students connected and excited to be in my classroom and part of the school community. I want them to feel included, respected, and eager to learn every day!

I feel like I have forgotten so many special moments, but this video brought them all rushing back. One that jumped out to me is aI remembered having a Literacy Celebration Day. It was when I was in much younger grades. I would guess Grades 1 through 3. Parents came in to the school wearing costumes and they read some of their favourite books. That is such a cool memory that I forgot about. My grandma came in and read. It just makes me think that the things that I look back, twenty years later and remember are the really engaging personal events. Not some specific math lesson, but those relationship building moments. It's good inspiration to want to create those magical moments in my classroom!

I loved everything about this video it made me miss being in elementary school very much. One thing that resonated with me was the pictures from Muskoka Woods. I attended for two years as a leader and I know how much of an impact it has on both students and leaders. Such an amazing trip that helps students overcome so many obstacles in their lives. I hope that one day I will be apart of such a tight knit community such as the one at Notre Dame. I aspire to bring as much joy and confidence to the students I teach as I can.

Something that I really hope to impart one day in my own classroom and that stood out to me throughout the Celebrate Notre Dame video was the celebration of the everyday operations of life. There's so much out there in the world to explore and do and be a part of, and I want to see students get excited about that and about the world we live in and the ways they can shape their lives.

I loved that the video included all the children! Seeing themselves reflected in the video and as part of a wider community is so important for feeling connected to one another. As an educator, I aspire to make sure that resilience and confidence will both come before content. Everyone needs to feel welcome, competent, and have a deep internal knowledge that they matter.

I loved that the video highlighted many of the different extra-curricular areas of the school from sports teams to the school play. I have a wide spectrum passion in Sports, Math and the Arts and I hope that I can create a classroom with many cross curriculum aspects so that kids that have those different passions feel like they can excel.

While watching the video there were four words that stood out to me. Community, celebration, pride (both faculty and students), and nostalgia. I hope to be able to create an environment where students feel welcomed and excited to be there.
