Voting will now go until May 1st!

Students were also excited today for the return of Denise Miller, our guest speaker who is an amazing storyteller of Metis and other Aboriginal stories. The class was especially pleased that they recognized the format of many of her stories about animals. Kids noticed that she was telling Pourquoi tales! We sang some songs with her as she drummed along. There was some incorporation of Social Studies and Science concepts, such as how early people of Canada lived and what elements are necessary for creating fire.  Students were so entertained and seemed mesmerized with her funny and unique stories. I think it will definitely help them when they are writing and telling their own stories to know what really helps engage the audience. Ask your child what they remember about her visit and if they can describe why the Coyote howls?
