"Look Teacher - Come See My Amazing Wintercount!" - Making FNMI Connections To Learning Through Literacy and Art

Developing and applying foundational knowledge about First Nations, Metis, and Inuit for the benefit of student learning has been a new task challenging teachers in the classroom. In this session, Erin reviews a simple, effective and interesting project that makes these FNMI Connections for students, yet isn’t too complicated or time consuming and can be used across any subject area or grade level. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about tribal records that are called Wintercounts, how they can be used in the classroom and will engage in the Wintercount process first hand. Templates and exemplars will be shared guaranteeing teachers will have a lesson ready for Monday morning. If you are a teacher that values inclusion, creativity and literacy, then this session is for you!
