Our class enjoyed the story 'The Eagle Feather' by Kevin Locke today. We learned that the eagle feather is symbolic in indigenous culture for the virtues of kindness, honesty and courage. We speak about these virtues in our daily conversations in Grade One as we all encounter new experiences throughout our days as a growing classroom community. We coloured eagle feathers and wrote messages to remind us to practice these virtues every day at school.
Tomorrow is Orange Shirt Day!
