Hi parents,
We had a good day today!
The students wrote 'butterfly diary' entries, from the perspectives of butterflies or caterpillars. We read the book "When We Were Young", which is a beautiful story that celebrates indigenous history and culture, while also touching on residential schools in an age-appropriate way. It's a really good one, one of my favourite indigenous resources.
We also read one of the many stories of Coyote.
Tomorrow is Indigenous Peoples Day, and we will be celebrating with a whole-school assembly, and a lot of time spent outside. In fact, we will be spending the entire afternoon, and much of the morning, outside, which is why we're also calling it 'camping day'. We will be setting up activity tents for small groups of students to use at a time. It will be land-based learning at its finest.
Please let me know if you have an easy-to-set-up tent you'd like to send to school with your child! The more the merrier!
In the afternoon, we did a 'dress rehearsal' for our assembly in the gym. The students got to use the microphones and do a full run-through of the assembly. It's going to be so good - I wish parents were allowed to be there in-person, but I can't wait to share the video. :)
We ended our day by finishing the last secrets of Droon book.
Have a nice day,
Zac
