LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I acknowledge, with deep respect, that I am gathered on Treaty 7 territory. I acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit whose footsteps have marked these lands for generations. I respect the histories, languages and cultures of all the Indigenous peoples of Canada, whose presence continues to enrich our community.

Rainbow Words of Gratitude

This is a lesson I found HERE that I modified a bit. It's great for the first week of classes- I've taught it to Grade 4 all the way to Grade 12. I have students choose a word representing something they are grateful for (pets are a popular choice with the younger kids!!). Can be anything in their life.

See my previous post about the lesson HERE- where it explains all the steps!

My favourite markers to use with this lesson are Mr. Sketch because they have such a crisp wide edge.

Students choose their own colour scheme.

A great lesson to review pattern and line quality.
