October 4th-8th Classroom Updates

We have spent some time learning about the significance and the importance behind Orange Shirt Day-National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.  We learned how orange shirt day was started by a lady named Phyllis Webstand.  She wants to educate people about residential schools and send the message that Every Child Matters on Orange Shirt Day and every day.  It is important that we all do our part to fight racism and treat everyone with respect and dignity.  National Day for Truth and Reconciliation recognizes the survivors of the residential school system, their families and communities.  

As part or our Science Program, we are learning about the Fall season and using our senses to describe characteristics that are connected to Autumn.  On Tuesday afternoon we will be going for a Fall walk around the our school and observe the community for signs of Fall.

We have already started some amazing sketches of a Fall tree.

We are true artists in room 21 and we love to sketch!!!

There is no school this Friday for students.  Enjoy your long weekend and your Thanksgiving Celebrations if you take part.
