Aboriginal Story Telling + Art = A FUN way to spend Friday afternoon!

Bird's Hill School has been lucky to receive a grant for AAA (Aboriginal Academic Achievement). Over the past few weeks, we have had a focus on Aboriginal story telling. We had Elder Jules and Mr. Cyr in to do a sharing circle and listened to a story about wolves. Recently, we worked with Ms. Qua on an Aboriginal story called 'Nanabosho & Porcupine', written by Joe McLellan & Matrine McLellan. The book shares the Aboriginal story of how the porcupine got its quills. And today . . . we worked with Mrs. Kulyk to make the characters for that story. We will be acting out the story for other classes in a few weeks. It was amazing to see the characters literally appear out of cardboard. I love the creativity of the students in Room 5!
