It was National Indigenous Peoples Day at James Kennedy today, and our day began with an excellent assembly including drumming, dancing and story telling. Attached below are images from Mme. Kang's classroom, representing the Seven Sacred Teachings of the Anishinaabe. Following recess, the students worked on a reflection exercise that asked them to identify how they have grown as students and people since the beginning of the school year. Following lunch, it was the long-awaited class viewing of "Wonder", after having finished reading the novel earlier this Spring.
REMINDER: Tomorrow is PLAYLAND DAY!!!! and as such, I will be opening the classroom to students and parent driver / chaperones at 830am.
