Oops - we forgot to put up yesterday's blog post... here it is!
Today we started a conversation about Orange Shirt Day by reflecting on the history, legacy, and implications, of residential schools. We looked at pictures, listened to the story of why Orange Shirt Day exists, and read the book When I Was Eight. It was also an opportunity to think about the children who attended residential schools, recognize their experiences, honour them and share in a collective commitment to ensure that every child matters and that each student is welcome, safe, respected and cared for in their learning community every day.
We learned a new math game called "Trash Can Math". All you need is a deck of cards, a piece of paper, and a pencil. Teach your families how to play this super fun place value game of chance!
Have a great night :)
Today we participated in the Terry Fox Run. We ran around the pond, most of us got 2 or 3 laps completed.
We began talking about rights and responsibilities. We defined a right as something that you should expect to have. For example we have the right to a family that cares for us and a right to have a good education. We defined responsibility as something you must do for yourself and others. It’s a choice that you make. An example is you have the responsibility to treat others with respect and listen to their ideas. Another responsibility is to come to school and behave, try your best and take care of the materials that are given to you.
And now, back to our regular programing...Today we started a conversation about Orange Shirt Day by reflecting on the history, legacy, and implications, of residential schools.
