During my hike over the weekend, I found a bumble bee on a Salal flower.<\/p>\n
Salal is a type of bush that is native to the area. They grow white-pink flowers (as shown in the photo) and later produce berries that look a little bit like blueberries. You may notice a lot of salal growing all over our region, they thrive in our climate and conditions. The berries are a major source of food for B.C. First Nations; they can be dried and also turned into cakes. Fruit leathers can be made by blending the berries until smooth and then spreading them flat in a pan and drying them in the sun or an oven. Berries can also be used to create a dark blue or purple dye. The branches and leaves of salal are used to line cooking pits and provide flavour. Leaves are used to cover cuts and wounds.

b.) Literacy*<\/h2>\n
This week, we are going to reflect on our learning while looking at the core competencies. In class, we worked on our Growth Portfolios to reflect on our learning over the terms. However, this term, we will have to do things a little different since we don\u2019t have our binders or shared classroom experience. Please note that this assignment is mandatory and required by the Ministry of Education.<\/strong>\u00a0Please be sure to submit this.<\/p>\nPlease reflect on your learning throughout the year. I suggest creating a brainstorming web of all the things we have done in class. Include the third term and the learning you have done at home. Your memory is probably most fresh with what you have done at home so far so feel free to focus on that.<\/p>\n

d.) Literacy \u2013 Reading *<\/h2>\n
This past week has been a pivotal one in our world. There has been a lot of discussion, education and action taking place surrounding diversity, justice, and racism. It is important we have these (age-appropriate) conversations in our homes. If you haven\u2019t had the conversation as a family yet, I encourage you to do so.<\/p>\n
There is a list of books compiled by Epic! Books that I would like you to look at:\u00a0https:\/\/www.getepic.com\/learn\/epic-a-safe-place-to-explore-all-voices\/\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\nPlease select (at least) one book to reflect and respond to using this\u00a0response shee<\/a>t.
