Day 32: #MentorTextsThatMatter As we reflect on the #BacktoSchool2023 read-alouds we are choosing to share, how might we purposefully amplify Indigenous voices, stories & artists as we commit to inclusion, diversity and the #CallstoAction in our classrooms and schools?

It’s #TreatyWeek How might you continue convo’s with young Ss? Engage in uncovering Etuaptmumk - or Two-Eyed Seeing - the gift of multiple perspectives. Explore Ss wonders & allow time for Ss to build connections with the land. This #mentortext is a great place to start!
