Mohkinstsis is a very important place to local Indigenous cultures and it has become a symbol of reconciliation.
Tomorrow, we will complete several tasks along the Bow and Elbow rivers that relate to our Science and Social Studies curricula.
Your homework is to discuss with your family the following prompt to prepare for our activity:
What is a memory you have that connects you to the river?
It could be an activity that you like to do with your family (example: walking your dog along the river pathway, rafting the river, biking, etc) or it could be of a specific place like St. Patrick's Island splash area or the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary.
If you are new to Calgary and you have not spent any time on the river yet, we ask that you try to go out tonight so that every child has a personal connection to the river outside of school.
Thanks, everyone, and please remember to dress for the weather tomorrow! We'll be on our walk from 10:45-2:30!
