 Wednesday June 23

Today, in recognition of Indigenous Awareness Week, we read a book called The Sharing Circle by Theresa Larsen-Jonasson.  She is a Cree - Danish Metis Elder who comes from around Red Deer Alberta.   This book focused on the importance of the circle to Indigenous people and how there are many circles or cycles found in nature.  The animals in this story had a disagreement and they came together with an Elder and the other creatures to solve the problem in a "Sharing Circle".  Students, please explain what you learned from the story to your parents.  Here are some images from the book to guide you.  

In PE today we played some super fun frisbee golf!  It was our last official PE class of the year.  We would like to thank Mr. Der for all of his hard work over the last 5 years as our PE teacher.  He made sure we learned a lot about sportsmanship, perseverance, GRIT and the importance of living a healthy and active lifestyle!  We will miss you next year Mr. Der.  Good Luck in your new job!

REMINDERS

Please bring an extra bag on both Friday and Monday as we will be sending student books, papers, etc. home each of those days.

Friday we will take our last trip to the coulee for this year.  Please pack water, a snack and dress for the weather.  It is supposed to be 25 degrees so bring your sunblock and a hat!

Tomorrow afternoon, our students will have an hour to participate in our modified Sports Day.  We ask that if possible, students wear something green for our Kindness class colour!
