It was wonderful to see so many students wearing orange shirts today to acknowledge and honour the lasting impact of residential schools. We spent time reading stories about Orange Shirt Day and residential schools and reflecting on what school should feel like, how students of residential schools might have felt, and what we can do to help with reconciliation. More information and activities can be found on the Orange Shirt Day website, in order to continue this important conversation at home.
We also started working on rounding numbers in Math and creating a visual journal page in Language Arts that will represent our individual understanding of and reflections on 39 Clues: The Maze of Bones. We also continued to work with numbers in French.
