I can appreciate the land

-

 It is Truth and Reconciliation week so here in Kindergarten we are focusing on growing through Indigenous ways of knowing and learning!  One way we are honouring the land is through the Acknowledgement of the Land.  Please check out this video of a kid friendly land acknowledgement.  


Today we learned about an artist named Jason Carter who paints abstract landscapes and shows us how to appreciate the land even more!  We had an opportunity to practice drawing and painting landscapes just like Jason Carter.  Stay tuned to see some of our finished products.

  Hello families and welcome to our kindergarten blog! We will be updating this blog daily with what we have been working on and important information and updates about our class. Please check it regularly as this is our main form of communication with you. This will also help connect you with what is happening at school so you can guide those conversations with your child at home and ask them "tell me more about......". We had a wonderful first staggered entry day yesterday. Your children were absolutely wonderful and they did so great! Thank you for your help in prepping them for this milestone. Ask your child to share with you some of the things they learned about the kindergarten teachers. We worked on practicing printing our name and drawing a picture of us on the first day of school.  We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday September 5 during our regular kindergarten hours. AM Class 8:15-11:15am PM Class 12:05-3:05pm Have a wonderful long weekend and see you on Tuesday
