Does light travel in a straight line?
Today my grade 4 class learnt all about light and that it travels in a straight line. It was very interesting to watch them to explore with light and figure out that even though light disperses it still continues through in a straight line. They are really getting good at scientific journal writing as well. I am one proud science teacher. Awesome!!

Story robes
Our kids learnt all about traditional First Nations story telling and legends as well as symbolism and story robes through a lesson you can read about more online here.
The process:
Picking a story, finding and creating symbols, writing them on a robe, colouring them and antiquing them with tea. Beautiful.
Here are the finished results:
Here are some close ups and the legends that go with them found here:

Légendes Traditionnelles

Nous enseignons notre histoire et notre culture aux enfants grâce à nos légendes. Beaucoup de ces légendes sont très anciennes et elles expliquent comment les esprits des plantes et des animaux nous ont aidés à survivre. Ces légendes nous transmettent d'importants messages qui portent sur la façon dont nous, les Nitsitapii, devons agir. Elles nous apprennent aussi les conséquences entraînées par une désobéissance. Nos grand-mères nous content ces légendes pendant la soirée, quand nous sommes calmes et capables d'en comprendre les messages.
