I've been getting questions about how to embed Indigenous history and current realities in classrooms in ways that are appropriate and respectful.
Here's a quick video to help!

#LKDSB educators: If you have questions, send me an email! 😁
This is a heavy week for Indigenous students and teachers. In Ojibwe we’ve been focusing on saying and knowing we matter, we are still here, we are proud and we are strong.

Time in the native plant garden helps lighten things up for us!

That’s my beautiful auntie!
She does an amazing job as the Librarian in Bkejwanong.

Grade 2/3 from @hwburgessps read Go Show the World by @WabKinew and chose an Indigenous Hero to celebrate. Here are a few!

@ltldrum @BuffySteMarie @christibelcourt @waneekhm @doctoreonline @AutumnPeltier1 @johnherrington can you find yours?
Here’s your last chance to see the WDSS drama club perform the @TheDHTaylor play The Boy in the Treehouse.
Thursday night!
The Ojibwe words of the Week at @hwburgessps have been words about our animal relatives.
Grade 2/3 made a short video sharing some of these words. They used Pic Collage to create these super cute pictures!

We had so much fun in the learning commons @hwburgessps this week!
We made Peeps Ziplines, and got to share our “Taking Care of the Earth” board games with friends!

Again, I’m so proud of these kids from my home #Bkejwanong, performing @TheDHTaylor play “The Boy in the Treehouse” at the NTS Regional Drama Fest tonight!
They rocked it!
First time @wdsstartans drama attended regionals, and an all Nish cast!! Awe yeah! 👍🏼
Gchi-Nishin!
#LKDSB
I’m so proud of this group of awesome kids!
They are making our whole community proud. On to Regionals!
They performed an amazing play by @TheDHTaylor
Almost all @hwburgessps classes and staff had a chance to learn with the Indigenous People’s Atlas of Canada Floor Map.
We wished we could have more time with it, there’s so much to explore and so many discussions to have!
#LKDSB @LKElempro
My daughter was in a play with an all Indigenous student cast and crew from @wdsstartans
They performed a play by Anishinaabe author, @TheDHTaylor
I am so proud today!

I know that all my educator friends are trying to just enjoy the break right now, but when you watch this video, what curriculum connections can you make?
This video with my dad and my son was filmed at my home in Bkejwanong, Walpole Island First Nation.

Another reason why we ask Ts not to have Ss “paint like Morrisseau” because what r we actually teaching them? It’s ok to copy w/o permission.
Instead have Ss learn abt Indigenous artists who they r & why they chose their style.

We had a great time making stop-motion animation with @gand_the in our Learning Commons yesterday! We have been hearing Anishinaabe stories about animals, learning about their needs, and saying Ojibwe words! 🦊🦝🐺🐸🐭🦌🐍
Stay tuned for the finished product!

We made #PinkShirtDay buttons for ourselves and for students in another class today!
I also learned a new Ojibwe word from a student in Grade 6!

I do a family trivia kahoot every week.🤓
This week I wowed my family because I knew what a midden was.
I knew this because my class participated in a webinar with @SCRCA_water last week! 🐿️
My class loved the webinar, by the way!!
