Yesterday was National Aboriginal Day. We talked about why it is important to celebrate the contributions Aboriginal people have made to Canada and why we need to recognize them. We created "crunchers" that had pictures and questions about First Nations. We also watched some videos of powwows and hoop dancing. We all were mesmerized by the hoop dancing and couldn't believe how many hoops the dancer could use all at once.
The past 2 health classes continued to focus on body, relationship and thought changes we go through during puberty. Some of us are bringing home a letter we are writing to "Chris" that demonstrates our understandings about puberty. These letters need to be completed and brought back to school tomorrow. Today we looked at puberty kit that was sent to us from Alberta Health Services. Ask me about some of the items in the kit. We are bringing home an activity to do with parents involving getting advice about certain problems we or others may face when going through puberty.
