Hello Families,
This week we spent some time reading different stories to support our work around Orange Shirt Day. It was really impressive to hear how many connections students already had to contribute to group discussions around this important subject.
We really appreciated both grade 1/2 classes sharing their learning of Orange Shirt Day with us.
It led to our class discussing how students should feel when they are at school, and then we brainstormed how students who attended residential schools may have felt. We used our list of words for how students should feel to add to our feathers which will be a part of a collaborative art piece with the other classes.
I can appreciate how stories of the past connect individuals and communities to the present.
I can appreciate the importance of collaboration and living in harmony.
