Winter Celebrations
Throughout the month of December, Mme Denise’s and Mme Julie’s classes have been studying winter celebrations with M. Acorn, our teacher librarian. This year, students learned about Hanukkah, Ukrainian Orthodox Christmas, and Indigenous Winter Solstice. For each celebration, students learned about the traditions, listened to a story, and created a piece of art that helped them to demonstrate their learning. In all 3 celebrations, they noticed the following things were celebrated:
- family
- food
- community
- the act of giving
- light
- songs and dances
From the students and staff of École Julie-Riel, we wish you joyful celebrations!
