Tara: Many things in my life have come easy, but public speaking has been a struggle for me for many years. Tell us about a time when you failed at something. It is sort of like tuning into a language that we all speak without words.Ħ. Sara: Mindfulness to me is an awareness - of the world, of myself, and of the needs and desires of all those I share space with. To be present in what I am currently doing is always my goal. Mindfulness to me changes it ebbs and flows with the unique moments of each day. This is the ultimate, and what I strive for both for myself and those around me. Tara: To be completely present in the moment -– to stop and focus completely on a task, look deep into the eyes of the person I am sharing something with, or to sink to the ground and just be with my surroundings. Observing life from tadpole to toad was a very formative experience for me, and one that keeps me in Antarctica witnessing daily the cycle of life. My most memorable experience was an aquarium of tadpoles which came to life in my Grade 4 classroom in Victoria. I will forever treasure her encouragement and belief in my unique abilities. Owens, who inspired the artist within me. Believe it or not, it was my own Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Tara: ART throughout my school years, and ENGLISH in high school and university. What was your favourite subject in school? Did you ever get in trouble about anything when you were a child?Ĥ. Sara: Once.at the Oak Bay Tea Party.I nearly fell out of the ride called the "Sky Master”!ģ. Tara: As a young girl I was nearly mauled by a cougar, and as a teenager I came within meters of a black bear -– both while camping in the wilderness of Vancouver Island.

Have you ever had a "near death" experience? Were you scared? Sara: Puffy Socks, Peppermint Tea and Penguins.Ģ. What three things could you never live without? Although these wonderful women look very similar.they are very different!ġ. In this special report we have the pleasure of interviewing both Miss Sara –- who is visiting from Antarctica -– and Miss Tara. Miss Sara is our resident penguin expert, and will be teaching many of the science lessons during the Penguins theme this January.

When Miss Tara joined our teaching team in August of 2011, we had no idea that we would also be learning from her dynamic twin sister, Miss Sara! Miss Tara is our Science and Art teacher, and the homeroom teacher for the "South" group (Kindergarten).
