What are Rights?
In class we have been learning about "rights" . . . what they are and why they matter. After a lot of thinking and sharing in small groups, all ideas were shared in a large class discussion. We made a list of different rights and how they applied to people in the world, in Canada, and in our classroom.
The final list of "classroom right" in 4/5 WB included:
The right to . . . . Learn
Be safe
Be yourself
Have friends and play
Make Mistakes
Along with each of these rights, students identified the responsibilities that each of us has to ensure that everyone in our classroom has these rights.
The right to learn =
Responsibility . . . Listen and pay attention in class, purposely and intentionally think about what we are learning, participate in learning activities, maintain a class environment where others can learn.
The right to be safe =
Responsibility . . . keep yourself and others out of dangerous situations, avoid use of pysical force or retaliation, be aware of how words can hurt and stand up for each other, do not repeat or spread unkind words.
The right to be yourself =
Responsibility . . . accept yourself and others just as they are, include everyone in school activities, listen to each other without judgement.
The right to have friends =
Responsibility . . .always choose kindness, be a good friend, offer support and help to others, listen to others
The right to make mistakes =
Responsibility . . . to attempt all tasks, put in effort even if it is hard, try, do not give up, try another way, think about how you learn best.

Attachment Hearts
These hearts represent the important connections and relationships that children have with the people who care for them.
The Attachment Hearts are intended to be given to someone, as a way to remind them that they are cared for, and they matter, even when they are away from you. Especially at the beginning of the school year.
The hearts are filled with sage and fragrant native grasses from our local community. The material can be held, rubbed and squeezed in your hands to release the scent – reminding the receiver that they are connected and cared for.
Through the making of the heart, students have been introduced to the importance of some traditional Indigenous Medicines (Sage and sweet grass).
*Thanks to the Aboriginal Child and Youth

September 28th is Orange Shirt Day
This is a special day set aside to learn about, and reflect on, the impact of Residential Schools on many Canadians. This date was chosen because it is the time of year, in our past, when Indigenous children had to leave their homes and go far away to school. They had to stay at these schools until the following June.
The name “Orange
Shirt” comes from
the experience of one woman – Phyllis Webstad – who had her new orange shirt
taken from her on her first day of Residential School when she was 6 years old.
*Join us in recognizing this special day by wearing an orange shirt to school on Friday September 28th.
