Dear 5B families,
In Social Studies, we have been learning about the meaning of “Orange Shirt Day” and the purpose of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Please watch the video we created as a part of raising awareness and exploring our personal responsibility for justice, healing, and building a better future for all.
– 5B students share their learning journey.
Students explored many ways to share their learning in our Social Studies unit over the last two weeks. Today we wrapped up the work on our video project documenting our learning journey with truth and reconciliation.
What are some ways we can work towards truth and reconciliation? See the ideas students chose to share below…
There was rich brainstorming, dialogue, research, artworks, Lego dioramas to tell challenging stories in accessible ways, and poster making. We listened to stories of residential school survivors and dove into the history from different perspectives. Students wrote quizzes and short written reflections today as well and used technology to record their ideas as needed.
