Today we read the book That's Not My Name - each student got to say their name to their classmates to ensure we are all saying them correctly. Respecting our uniqueness. We then recognized which Capital our name should go under - spelling out their name to us. #Kindergarten

Great start this week on the design of Curriculum to support the new Indigenous graduation requirements. @NVSD44 staff stepped up and had an amazing conversation with indigenous leaders - then began collaboration between schools. Much more work to do!
