Anishinaabemowin
All students practice Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe language) daily. During our opening circle, we smudge and read an Anishinaabemowin Thanksgiving Address, introduce ourselves, and identify/share our feelings, and gratitude. We go through our calendar, and weather vocabulary. We practice counting and the Anishinaabemowin sound chart. We practice our 'words of the week' which are relevant to children's interests, time of year or what we are currently learning about. We have many books in the language and some audio to hear pronunciation
Indigenous Culture
Students start each day with a Smudging Ceremony, Thanksgiving Address, Land Acknowledgement and Anishinaabemowin Introductions. Students are encouraged to use the 7 grandfather teachings to make choices and are recognized when they do. Students learn medicine wheel teachings, drumming, dancing, and singing. Students have access to other cultural resources such as books, music, games etc.
Knowledge holders
We welcome Indigenous Elders and Knowledge Carriers into our program to enhance our learning and form deeper connections in our learning
Health & Safety
Covid-19 has put many struggles before our community, therefore now more than ever we are aware of concerns that parents may have and are dedicated to providing the safest possible program through excellent health and safety policies and procedures and limited exposure by providing low numbers and children from the same families.
