Aboriginal Culture Week

This week is our week we are focusing on Aboriginal culture at Douglas Annex. We always include different cultural views when we are learning but this week is to help students gain an understanding of this culture that existed here before we arrived.

Today, we read traditional Coast Salish stories that all had a similar theme - to help others with no expectation of anything in return. We also read what certain animals represent in Aboriginal culture. Students picked one that they connected with, and wrote about why they connect. The answers were so insightful! I will be sure to post a picture tomorrow!
