Sept 23 - 27

We had another story telling session with Jeff Stockton this week.  We will have 2 more sessions with him before our evening family storytelling event on October 3 at 6pm. We revisited the fact that all stories start with an idea.  💬

Sharing our ideas helps to build the story, adding detail, expression, pattern of events or time markers. 👪. Some stories have problems and solutions while others just walk us through a series of events.

Mrs. Watkins, our school's Indigenous Learning Leader came & read "Stolen Words" to us, by Melanie Florence. We talked about the meaning of Orange Shirt day coming Monday,  September 30. We journaled about all the things that we appreciated about our families & lives & what we would miss if we were sent away to school.

In Social we are continuing to learn that community is a place we learn, work & play together. Cooperating with each other, respecting our differences as well as following rules help us to feel safe & happy. We hiked up Thunder Hill to draw our Ranchlands / Calgary community as well as take in the colours of Fall.

In Science we made a prediction about which magnet was the strongest. We then carried out our experiment & documented our results.
