Monday September 28

Starting today, we will be posting our blog at 8am. This is to allow for children that are absent to be able to follow along with our daily events. We will add photos at the end of the day. 

Today we talked about Fall. We brainstormed about what we wonder about fall and made a list of things we want to learn about.

We read, Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn. Below is the link if you would like to listen to the story.

Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn

After listening to the story, we drew pictures in our journals of summer items and fall items. Ask your child what they drew?

If you are at home, can you make a list of at least 3 things in summer and three things in fall? Think about activities, food, weather, places etc. 

We had music with Mrs. Coulson.

Orange Shirt Day

Orange Shirt Day is on September 30 annually. It began in 2013 when residential school survivor Phyllis Webstad shared how her orange shirt was taken away on her first day at residential school. This story is an opportunity for students and staff to reflect on history, legacy and implications, to discuss stories of survival and strength and to share ways we can work together toward truth and reconciliation. It is an opportunity to commit to commemorating the children who attended residential schools, recognizing their experiences, honoring them and sharing a collective commitment to ensure that every child matters and that each student is welcome, safe, respected and cared for in their learning community every day. ~Taken from CBE Learning Resource on Orange Shirt Day: Indigenous Education

On September 30th, 2020 Eric Harvie School will demonstrate our commitment to reconciliation through Orange Shirt Day. We invite our staff, students and community to wear an Orange Shirt showing your dedication to open and continue the dialogue about residential schooling. Teachers will acknowledge this significant day through rich learning opportunities related through the disciplines. Please see your child’s blog for more details about how the class explores the slogan “Every Child Matters” what it means to matter and how children matter in our communities.

Today is Picture Day at school!  We love seeing everyone dressed in their finest with their bright smiles. We continued to talk about our families and drew a picture with sharpie of the people who live in our house.  We read the story "We Belong Together" by Todd Parr.  We also had a chance to explore our new Fall loose part bags.  Please ask your child what was in the bag and what stories they were able to tell. We had music with Mrs. Coulson.  Please ask your child what they did in the music room. Please note: library book exchange will happen on Wednesday this week as there is no school on Thursday.  Please send your child's book to school with them Wednesday if they would like to get a new book.
