@MrsBains @JulieHStern Many of the students used the loose parts for “exemplify” to represent examples of conductors and insulators or “illustrate” as a visual representation! It was also awesome to see students adding their own loose parts such as lead! Thank you for joining us @MrsBains !
Red Dress Day #MMIWG - “I wore my skirt to raise awareness to those who have experienced losing a loved one due to MMIWG. My dad made my skirt, it’s to protect the women from all harm.” - A.B
Thank you Elder Clarence for the blessings, stories and honouring songs on our first day at Prairie Sky School. Students are so excited to be in the building and will continue to grow and learn in our new setting! @MrsBains @prairieskycbe
Sit Spots at Prairie Sky School 💛 students engage in learning to understand and value the land in their community. “There’s a word ‘Kokiysin’ that is used to explain how we value our surroundings on land and are aware of our environment” - A.B. @prairieskycbe
In Visual Arts CTF students work together to create and present their collaborative artwork. Love how students refer to their detailed art plans to create their best work!
We love using Generate, Sort, Connect and Elaborate as a strategy to review our learning! Grade 7’s review terminology and key concepts about early European colonies. “I put habitants and land together because habitants farm on the land.” - G.C
“I am Cree and Nakoda. The braid I created represents strength and respect. Indigenous people really care about their hair and I do too. I was inspired by my aunty to create this art because she was very spiritual, positive and courageous.” - A.B grade 7
As students learn about negative and positive space in visual arts, they connect to history about residential school by creating art that tells a story.
Grade 7 students build on their knowledge of spelling and their understanding of words/terminology using word matrixes! “I’m getting better at spelling!” - A.A “this is an easier way to break down words.” - G.C

Using Community/Cultural Pillars to build empathy + community. Ss use loose parts to share their fears and ways to overcome them. They showed empathy by sharing ideas/tips to over come fears - “you could take pictures with your family to build memories!”
