HI Everyone!

Wednesday September 30th was Orange Shirt Day! We learned about the history of Orange Shirt Day. We listened to Phyllis Webstad’s story about being a residential school survivor. We read books about residential schools such as When We Were Alone by David Robertson and Amik Loves School by Katherena Vermette. We had deep meaningful conversations.

After we did a project where we wrote kind words to the residential school survivors and brainstormed how school should make us feel (loved, safe, happy, etc.). Here is our bulletin board with our work. We talked about how Every Child Matters and we all belong in our safe and caring classroom.
