December 11-15
In addition to our writing prompt last week and this week, where we asked our students to share and write about one of their family traditions during this time of the year, students have shared additionally through bringing in artifacts or pictures to share more about a family tradition. During our morning meetings, we have enjoyed hearing more details about what families do to celebrate and connect with their families. From traditions connected to Hannukah, to Christmas pajamas, special ornaments, visiting special places, to decorating trees, as well as reading a favourite story every year, we have learned more about each other through this additional sharing time.
We look forward to hearing and learning more about our students and our families and continue to welcome others to bring in something to share. Emails with pictures are also great.
Learning Intentions:
I can appreciate multiple cultures and experiences within my community and groups
I can appreciate how the traditions and celebrations of their families, contribute to their sense of identity and belonging
