@Murphys16380758 We need to shift our thinking away from what was experienced in residential schools to meet the needs of Indigenous students. #ShelfieTalk
I read a story to the children titled, "You hold me up" by Monique Gray Smith. This is a foundational book about building relationships, fostering empathy and encouraging respect between peers (Smith, 2020)#ShelfieTalk
@DeeCaraD Even today, many aboriginal children in Canada are not treated equally like other children. The slogan "Every child Matter" is highly relevant today. #ShelfieTalk
@Amby_20 yes, that's why we are in this program to educate ourselves first before we make our students to standup to support 94 calls to action.#ShelfieTalk
@MsRMaguire My Grade three students wanted to tell Justin Trudeau that we do not want to repeat what happened to the children like us in the Residential school in the past.
@Stephaniek_c @MsRMaguire To instill positivity in my students about Aboriginal children's experiences, we collected a template from the OCDSB website to send a letter to our Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau (shown below)#ShelfieTalk
@AngieRoss076@Stephaniek_c @MsRMaguire You are lucky to know about their history from your school but for me, this is the first book which helped me to know about Indian act#ShelfieTalk
We need support from the government to open more child care centers for Indigenous children to help them to grow up by providing age-appropriate education.
@MotherGooosey That's why as an Early Childhood educator, I would like to celebrate βNational Truth and Reconciliation Dayβ, where I can allow my students to learn about the history and legacy of the Residential School System. # Shelfietalk
@MsMarianneEllis Gender discrimination in the act was a disadvantage for the First Nations women. Until 1985, women with Indian status who married someone without status lost their status rights. On the other hand, men did not lose Indian status in the same way.
@MissWhitteker1 I discussed residential school and the meaning behind it. I was impressed to see how the students articulated and explained the indigenous history and their experiences.
