We used chalk pastels to create our pumpkins! We blended lighter colours to add highlights and darker colours to create shadows, which gave our pumpkins more depth. Then, we added twisting vines and a glowing moon in the background to make the scene feel lively and magical. Working with chalk pastels helped us explore color, texture, and shading!
To honour and recognize Orange Shirt Day, we read the books Shi-shi-etko by Nicola I. Campbell and Our Orange Hearts by Phyllis Webstad. These powerful stories helped guide our conversations about Orange Shirt Day and the importance of truth and reconciliation. As a class, we talked about how every child should feel at school and wrote our feeling words on T-shirt–shaped papers, which we then glued onto a giant orange heart. Many students shared thoughtful answers, like feeling safe, loved, and confident at school.
To kick off the new school year together, each class read the book What’s My Superpower? by Aviaq Johnston. Afterwards, each student thought about a superpower they have – a unique characteristic that makes them who they are! They drew themselves with their superpower and wrote about what it was. It was a thoughtful and meaningful project that inspired everyone to celebrate their strengths and embrace what makes them unique!

We had such a fun and meaningful time with our class snails! As summer break begins, some of our friends volunteered to bring the snails home. We can’t wait to see what stories and adventures our class snails will have in their new homes!
