The purpose of this activity is; to enhance home-school connection on Mondays (weekend news), encourage story-telling, give opportunity for each member of our classroom community to share their feelings throughout the week, to make connections with each other and to share our weekend plans on Fridays.<\/p>\n<p>The students use the Zones of Regulation when sharing their feelings. They also talk about things they are looking forward to during the day or after school. The person whose turn it is has the right to speak and all others listen actively, quietly and respectfully. Sharing these details help students to build their oral language skills, build their confidence to speak in a way that can be heard by others, share details about their lives and build connections with their peers and teachers. Ask your child what zone(s) they were in today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Big Ideas (Career Education): <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Effective collaboration relies on clear, respectful communication<\/li>\n<li>Strong communities are the result of being connected to family and community and working together toward common goals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Language Arts: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Communicate using sentences<\/li>\n<li>Exchange ideas and perspectives to build shared understanding<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>First Peoples Principles of Learning:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Learning ultimately supports the well-being of the self, the family, the community, the land, the spirits, and the ancestors<\/li>\n<li>Learning is embedded in memory, history, and story<\/li>\n<li>Learning involves patience and time<\/li>\n<li>Learning is holistic, reflexive, reflective, experiential, and relational (focused on connectedness, on reciprocal relationships, and a sense of place)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Curricular Competencies:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"views-row col-12 col-md mx-1\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"views-field views-field-nothing\"><span class=\"field-content\">Identify and appreciate their personal attributes, skills, interests, and accomplishments<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"views-field views-field-nothing\">Recognize the importance of positive relationships in their lives<\/li>\n<li class=\"views-field views-field-nothing\">Share ideas, information, personal feelings, and knowledge with others<\/li>\n<li class=\"views-field views-field-nothing\">Work respectfully and constructively with others to achieve common goals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Content:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Risk-taking &#8211; Speak in front of others<\/li>\n<li>Cultural and social awareness &#8211; achieved by exploring self-identity and acknowledging cultural differences<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Core Competencies &#8211; Communication:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In a safe and supported environment, I respond meaningfully to communication from peers and adults<\/li>\n<li>I communicate confidently, using forms and strategies that show attention to my audience and purpose<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"views-row col-12 col-md mx-1\">\n<p><strong>Core Competencies &#8211; Personal and Social:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I am aware of different aspects of myself.
