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!!

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! Gzheyaadzin. Be Kind. H. W. Burgess PS

Join us on Mar 6! Haley and Jade will share their experiences of relationship building with Indigenous mentors, lessons continually learned and available resources. Free for all educators 💚, registration required due to limited spot. zoom.us/meeting/regist…

We had a great time making stop-motion animation with KadiGore 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! H. W. Burgess PS

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. cbc.ca/news/canada/th…

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. youtube.com/watch?v=XnxlvC…
