@kn_jensen @HeatherMMcKay And mine, that just arrived last week, is sitting on my desk at work, and makes me very happy each day when I give it another read through. Thank you to that CBE book fairy who even tagged a couple of meaningful pages.

Students lead a history lesson, vocabulary game, lantern craft, wall display, and example of generosity with hand made gift bags.

Inclusion. Kind deeds. Community. Reflection. Leadership.
We love to see it! #AJA @CBEStanleyJones

As photographers we set to capture the tundra through our eyes.
We know that words matter. Students used blackout poetry to highlight the words they were most connected to to share the story of the Arctic + the Inuit people. inspo @WillowParkCBE #cbeliteracy @CBEStanleyJones

Students donated 309 gifts of love to @CalgaryFridge today + fresh lettuce harvested from our indoor garden. #WeAreCBE

Grateful for the learning + inspiration that took place today @Indigenous_cbe. Time spent looking through the front matter of the curriculum through a land based perspective + engaging in conversation through provocations connected to animating our more-than human world + SDP.

Who am I?
Guided by the medicine wheel we are learning to holistically understand all the beautiful parts of us. Students chose one coloured bead for each of their illustrations to sew their Belonging Colour Story onto their heart. @CBEStanleyJones #CbeIndigenousEd #cbeliteracy

Students from K -9 engaged in critical literacy that had them connect words to broken + whole bricks. When shared that the bricks represented those of a residential school, justifications + thinking shifted. #TruthAndReconciliation #cbeliteracy @Indigenous_cbe
