Today we had our pictures taken. The children will be coming home with a QR code to access the photos. The photos may not be available just yet, so please stay tuned.
This week, we continued our learnings about Terry Fox through various books and watching this video about him. We participated in our Terry Fox run on Monday, as well as completed a Terry Fox guided drawing. Check out the wonderful drawings below!
In preparation for Orange Shirt Day, we listened to a story called, "Stolen Words" and had an age-appropriate conversation around the history of Residential Schools. We also read the Indigenous story, "The Sharing Circle." We learned that this tradition provides opportunities for each voice to be heard, respected and valued. We are asking children to go on an outdoor walk this weekend, and search for a stick approximately 30 cm long/5 cm in diameter to bring to school. We will be painting and creating our own talking sticks to share at home with our families. Please bring a stick to school on Monday, October 3.
In Spanish, we are continuing to work on colour vocabulary, and we are beginning to use this in conjunction with "Me gusta..." (I like...) and "No me gusta..." (I don't like...).
A reminder that Monday/Wednesday kinders are encouraged to wear an orange shirt on Monday, October 3.
