This Week in Kindergarten!

I'm sorry for the lack of photos this week.  It was a shorter week because of the long weekend and also Mme Godin was home sick with a really bad stomach flu for a few days.  

On Thursday morning, we joined Monsieur Charrette's class for a special presentation about treaties.

Mme Richelle (indigenous educator)
sang a beautiful song in her native language.  The students were very respectful and listened attentively.

 We learned how each person has a special talent and that we share these talents with our friends to help us grow together as a community.

We watched a super short video about how CANADA got its' name.

We discussed all of the symbols found on this special medal.  Ask your child if he/she remembers some of the symbols we talked about.

Listening carefully to Mme Richelle in preparation for Friday's Treaty Day!!!
