Google Classroom

*** We have set up a Google Classroom for grade 1/2 learners. Work has been posted in order to assist children who are missing school for an extended period of time due to illness or quarantine.

Tomorrow - Orange Shirt Day:

Orange Shirt Day is on September 30 annually. It began in 2013 when residential school survivor Phyllis Webstad shared how her orange shirt was taken away on her first day at residential school. This story is an opportunity for students and staff to reflect on history, legacy and implications, to discuss stories of survival and strength and to share ways we can work together toward truth and reconciliation. It is an opportunity to commit to commemorating the children who attended residential schools, recognizing their experiences, honoring them and sharing a collective commitment to ensure that every child matters and that each student is welcome, safe, respected and cared for in their learning community every day. ~Taken from CBE Learning Resource on Orange Shirt Day: Indigenous Education

On September 30th, 2020 Eric Harvie School will demonstrate our commitment to reconciliation through Orange Shirt Day. We invite our staff, students and community to wear an Orange Shirt showing your dedication to open and continue the dialogue about residential schooling. Teachers will acknowledge this significant day through rich learning opportunities related through the disciplines. Please see your child’s blog for more details about how the class explores the slogan “Every Child Matters” what it means to matter and how children matter in our communities.

Our day:

• We learned about some more friends today during our friendship journal writing time

• In math Mrs. Campbell's class began making patterns using different materials. Students created and described different patterns. We will continue this work throughout the week. We are naming patterns based on their attributes, such as AB, ABC, ABB etc. Take a look at the photos to see if you can name the patterns we made.
• Mrs. Wauthier and Mrs. Campbell's class created some fall trees today while Mr. Kai's group went to music
• We had a practice fire drill today. Students did really well and were able to safe, silent and serious as we left the building.
• All classes brainstromed different things to write about for free writing time.
• Remember to wear an orange shirt tomorrow! (if you have one)
