This past week we took our first trip to the coulee. When we arrived we read through the Acknowledgement of the Land. We split into some smaller groups for our exploration. The grade 4s talked about the purpose of the Acknowledgement and began to look for things on the land that are a value to us and compared them with things that communities is the far past would have valued on the same land. Grade 3s explored the Porcupine rock formation and looked at different sedimentary rock formations that can be found all through the coulee.

There was one that said to do the times tables for a specific number.
