This past week, students participated in Teacher's Pet. They learned about early Acadians- a French population that now lives across the East Coast, including Meteghan, NS.
Students made butter, explored raw wool that could be turned to yarn, played charades as they learned about chores on the farm, played BINGO about chores, transportation, and jobs, painted lighthouses in the colours of the Acadian flag, and learned to play the wooden spoons. It was an amazing morning of hands-on learning!
Enjoy some pictures of their activities below.
They also learned about Orange Shirt Day, and the reasons why they matter. Students learned about the tragedies of Residential Schools, and why we take time to acknowledge and reconcile with Indigenous populations. Students were very receptive to these conversations and I am hopeful they will continue throughout the year.
There is another Fun Lunch coming up on October 27th. Sign up and order on the Healthy Hunger website.
