ALT ELA
Today was Orange Shirt Day in recognition of all the First Nations, Metis and Inuit children who were removed from their families and sent to Residential School. At these school the students were stripped of their language and culture and often abused physically, emotionally, and sexually. This was not a proud part of Canada's past and today we, as Canadians, need to move towards reconciliation. We cannot change the past but we can change the future. No one can do everything but everything can do something. Everyone deserves to be shown friendship and respected. EVERY CHILD MATTERS.
In class we watched the video at the bottom of this post, had a break, made a puzzle piece and then we wrote a paragraph about Orange Shirt Day. We also did the vocabulary words for Chapter 15 and read Chapter 15 of "The Hill."
