Orange Shirt Day, and Netflix Series- Bookmarks

MOOSE

MOOSE

Moose information for the week- check out Moose by Robert Munsch!  You can listen to the read aloud at his website, listed above.

Netflix has  a new series highlighting Black authors and children’s stories called Bookmarks: Celebrating Black Voices. It features “Black celebrities  reading children’s books from Black authors”. The show will cover topics about “identity, respect, justice and action.” Some of the read alouds so far are books like I Love My Hair, Sulwe, I am Enough, I am Perfectly Designed, The Day You Begin, and Let’s Talk About Race.  You can also access some of these read alouds on the Netflix Jr. Youtube channel!

 

This week we observe Orange Shirt Day at HHCS.  I have purchased some new books for our school library on this specific topic and also about First Nations in general,  and many of the teachers including myself will be using them in their lessons this week.
