It was Pink Shirt Day at James Kennedy today! We took a well-deserved break from FSA's, but not from writing today, as we finally dove into the Great Canadian Mail Race. We reviewed what is appropriate to put in an introductory letter, and built one as a class, to use as a template for our letters. (See the sample letter on the English page) After recess the students went to see Mr. Barkman for music class, then they returned to complete an art exercise, that tied into our Pink Shirt Day theme. After lunch, we watched a video based on gender stereotypes, and talked in depth about acceptance, respect and inclusivity. We finished with a second video about overcoming physical challenges. (Both videos are posted below.) Our day was capped off with a short assembly and photo opportunity.
