How can I develop my resiliency to grow, learn and contribute to a community?
We watched a news story video about how the buffaloes are coming back after almost going extinct. It showed first nations people scrapping the buffalo skin. We talked about all the different things the first nations people use the buffalo for like clothes, shelter and to make different tools for hunting. They talked about how they are buffalo people and trying to bring that connection to the buffalo back as an integral part of their culture that was lost when the west was settled. Buffaloes have made a comeback due to the high demand for buffalo meat and conservationists advocating for their return to the wild like the 16 reintroduced to Banff National Park. This connected to our legend Where the Buffalo Began and our buffalo building. We continued to build the top and bottom or our buffalo in two teams this time. We used our same strategy of nonstandard measurement string but this time used the width (realized we needed to make it shorter) and the length.
We made a new plan for lunch recess because as a class we have realized this is a time a day we needed help being green. The plan was: 1. Pick a person or people to play with. 2. Make a plan about what to do. (e.g. what game to play etc. 3. Pick a place. (playground, compound, or field) After lunch we had a class meeting and talked about how our new plan went. We had more green moments overall. We will continue to practice everyday with the hopes that it will help us play safely and have lots of fun! Comments are closed.
