Hello Families of Division 13,

 

This is the first post of the year so I hope it will be received by all. I have added everyone’s email to the subscribe list for the year, so that when I make a post you will get an email notification.

Today we recognized Orange Shirt Day. Thank you to everyone who wore orange! I will add a photo to Fresh Grade of our class. This week we have have had some conversations about why we recognize Orange Shirt Day and why it is important. We talked about how every child matters and has the right to play, to have choices to wear what they want, to feel loved, and to be proud of who they are and where they come from. During outdoor classroom we have started to talk about the land that we learn, live and play on and that not all of our ancestors are originally from here. I would love to know where your families come from so that we can explore that further as a class. We also have a map that I use to show where in the world our families have come from (whether that is some place in Canada or another country).
