 Reminders:

We are going on a coulee walk tomorrow morning. Please be prepared with a water bottle and an easy to eat snack on the go!

Highlights from our Day:


  • We focused our learning on another Anishinaabe teaching. This time we learned about the Eagle and how it represents love. We talked about how you show love through acts of kindness and respect and that it's important to treat yourself, others, animals and the land with love


We explored the concepts of equality creating equality statement using animals with number values. The animals were based on a story called, Equal Shmequal, by Virginia Kroll. Listen together at home here. Students loved exploring the concept in this way and did an excellent job!

The biologist group learned about Muskrats today -we are hoping to see some on our coulee walk tomorrow! The environmentalists discussed how they would replant the coulee as part of their reflection on the book, The Boy Who Planted a Forest. The historians learned about the Blackfoot tipi and made tipis today. 

It was WACKY WEDNESDAY!

 Happy Thursday Peace Group Learners and Families This is my first official blog after returning to Eric Harvie School full-time.   My apologies for missing the blog yesterday. Transitions can be a challenge. Today was a packed day full of learning for all of the Peace Group.  All of the students continue to work on developing their writing. We are all working on "Walking Stories" these are stories that are about themselves. We have focused on our memories.  A "Walking Story's" main character is the student. It is all about a person, place or thing that your child knows a lot about.  We have been using a variety of planning techniques. The students are also learning how to revise their writing by adding "Triple Scoop" words, interesting details and looking at using our "No Excuse" word lists for editing. Math has been exciting and engaging for the students.  Mr. Kai and Mrs. Bowles' group continue their work on graphing.  Today we looked
