DIVERSITY: PETIT PAPILLON!

 « PETIT PAPILLON »

Un petit Papillon s'interroge sur sa différence avec les grands et beaux Papillons. Une histoire sur la tolérance, la diversité et la différence. « Nous sommes tous différents. La différence fait la force. Si nous étions tous pareils, rien ne serait amusant! »

We read a great story called "Petit Papillon". A small butterfly was questioning why it is different from the big butterflies. This is a story about tolerance, diversity and difference.

The story helped the children in the classroom to understand that:

We are different, we are the same. 

We learned from the story that we should be willing to accept and respect differences.
If there was no difference, there would be no fun!

Les papillons de la salle K4

• We are learning that all persons have value and that we can benefit from accepting and welcoming individual differences.
• We are demonstrating respect and consideration for individual differences.
• We are showing respect for and acceptance of differences.

The kids cut and coloured each their own butterfly as they liked. In the end, they all came out different and beautiful.
                           

                  We are different but we are all the same. Our differences make us strong!

                                     

Forest Valley Outdoor Education Learning Trip (K4)

 To support our student's learning in and about the outdoors, today, K4 Students had the opportunity to investigate their school yard for different types of learning activities. This investigation should help them gather a sense of place, observing details, and practice their oral communication. They shared their findings through a talking circle, discussing what they learned about their outside surroundings. By participating in all of the below activities, students interacted, engaged and had a lot of fun!

1. - Snowshoeing (winter activity) 
2. - Camping activity 
3. - Forms activity
4. - Literacy activity with the alphabet
