A beautiful start to our Indigenous Celebration game.

It is spirit week Crossing Park School! Monday is “Anything but a backpack” day! Here are some creative entries from our class!

“Once again, Na'toosi (Grandfather Sun) and Kokomikisomm (Grandmother Moon) will share the sky equally. Motoyi(spring in Blackfoot) is a time of renewal and new beginnings. After a season of rest, the land comes to life with new growth, movement, and sounds.” @Indigenous_cbe

Today we learned about the Spring Equinox. Na'toosi (Grandfather Sun) and Kokomikisomm (Grandmother Moon) share the sky equally. It is a time of beautiful changes according to Elder Saa’kokoto. How can you engage your body to see, feel, hear and smell the signs of spring?

Cobras! Tomorrow is now #cultureday so we can celebrate all our wonderful traditions, including Ramadan!

Today we celebrate #Juneteenth, the end of racial enslavement in the United States.

Juneteenth is a momentous time to celebrate our unity as we reflect on our history. Sing along with Gordon, Tamir, Gabrielle, and friends in the Power of We Club as we honor all that June 19th stands for. Happy #Juneteenth!

In honour of National Indigenous History Month and National Indigenous Peoples Day, we reflect on our commitment to Truth & Reconciliation. We commit is to work towards the TRC’s Call to Action 63 (iii) to build multicultural understanding, empathy, and mutual respect. #WeAreCBE

We took lessons outside this week, learning about shadows. We saw how our shadows travelled and changed shape depending on the time of day. Then we went outside and used nature’s shadows to help us sketch. Thank you Naató'si for providing light #WeAreCBE
