Almost all @hwburgessps classes and staff had a chance to learn with the Indigenous People’s Atlas of Canada Floor Map. We wished we could have more time with it, there’s so much to explore and so many discussions to have! #LKDSB @LKElempro

I know that all my educator friends are trying to just enjoy the break right now, but when you watch this video, what curriculum connections can you make? This video with my dad and my son was filmed at my home in Bkejwanong, Walpole Island First Nation. youtube.com/watch?v=XnxlvC6_…

I do a family trivia kahoot every week.🤓 This week I wowed my family because I knew what a midden was. I knew this because my class participated in a webinar with @SCRCA_water last week! 🐿️ My class loved the webinar, by the way!!
