Oki families of grade 1/2 students! Brr! It was cold out there! It sure feels nice to thaw out after a full week of freezing temperatures. We had fun inside and did lots of learning, but it was time to get outside again! What have the kids been up to this month? Let's take a look! Students revisited their Sit Spots to see how things have changed. Just being close to Na'a helps us to refresh and refocus. We looked at the chinook arch that brought us these warm temperatures. Students were reminded of the story of The Bear Who Stole the Chinook that we heard on our field trip to Fish Creek Park. Winter is the time for storytelling. Room 23 welcomed Traditional Knowledge Keeper Alayna Manyguns to our class. She shared two stories with us. Students were captivated! We are very grateful for her teachings.
In Art, we've also been working on Guided Drawing. This week, we learned about the meaning behind our school name, and drew the Piitoayis symbol. The kids did a great job! So much excitement in room 23! Stay tuned for next week: Tuesday we have special visitors from Calgary Pro Musica who will work with my students to create a soundscape based upon nature found in our Sit Spots! We will present these at an assembly later that morning.
Have a lovely day, Ms. Sara :)
