Wednesday at 1:00pm in our mini talent show!  This takes place in front of our class only (during our music time). 

Thank you to our volunteers for joining us today!  

We could not go on field trips without you!

This morning we experienced the rich cultural traditions of the Blackfoot people and viewed the world from a different perspective. Through oral tradition storytelling and artifact handling, learning about the relationship between the Blackfoot people and all of Creation and heard stories that taught us how to harmoniously co-exist with the world.

After lunch, students were given a blue sketch book to record their observations as we toured through many other parts of the Glenbow Museum.  Please look in your child's backpack and use the blue book to spark a conversation at home!
