We learned a new word while outside with Ms. Taylor-Gibbs, INFERRING or INFRENCING!
Ms. Taylor-Gibbs read us a story called “A Salmon for Simon”, we were using our brains to think and to infer how Simon was feeling throughout the story.
Marina also participated in making an acknowledgement before our learning. She recognized her ancestors who are from Russia, as most of our families are settlers to this land, and she recognized and thanked the land we live, learn and play on to the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and Sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Territory. Well Done Marina!
We also learned Stoney Creek was formerly known to be a habitat for 5 different kinds of salmon: Chum, Sockeye, Coho, Pink, and Chinook. Now only 2 species of salmon come up to Stoney Creek: Chum and Coho.
