Today, we were invited to a special event in honor of Aboriginal Storytelling Month. The school participated in a round dance and listening to some other music and stories. To help build some knowledge around this event, we did a lot of lessons related to First Nations, Metis, and Inuit content today. Our math lesson focused on the four parts of the medicine wheel, in particular four groups of animals (legged ones, crawlers, winged ones, and swimmers). Each student created their own medicine wheel.
We also watched videos of jingle dancing, Metis jigging, and a hoop dance. The students were very excited to try dancing to the music. We read two stories today: Raven and My Kokum Called Today.
We also visited the library today to exchange books. We are winding down our PWIM cycle, so students took turns creating sentences that match the content of our PWIM picture. We also tried coming up with a title for our group of sentences.
Afterwards, students worked on matching words with the beginning letter of that word.
While it was another great day, we did have one low moment. Our first fish, Goldie, is no longer with us! We only have one fish left- Cupcake. Hopefully Cupcake will last a while longer!
Friday is the last Telemiracle fundraising day. It is pajama and hat day as well as an opportunity to purchase hot chocolate and a cookie for $2.00! Looking forward to seeing everyone looking nice and cozy Friday morning. Until then....
