Today is Orange Shirt Day. We spent some time reflecting on why we are important and creating a special visual journal page. Here are some of our reflections:
"In the olden days people felt like children didn't matter. That's why we make sure that they matter now." Jackson
"We wear an orange shirt to remember the children who were taken away for 300 sleeps." Brayden
"The children got sent away." Robbie
"The children weren't made to feel special." Brielle
"All children matter." Akbar
Today in grade one:
"We learned about Orange Shirt Day." Gracie
"We went to the playground during lunch recess." Elise
"We colored an orange shirt and made a blue background using chalk pastels." Charlee
"We worked in our Today is Monday booklets." Aria
"We worked in our treasure books." Emmitt
"We colored a picture of Terry Fox." Kaylin
"We drew our self-portraits." Ms. Lang
Thank you for all of the toonies for Terry!
