The Art Arrives!

We began with 9 pieces and this is how the plan was laid out to begin with.

Dear CQE,

Please find a moment to stop in the main hall and take a look at the first set of art that arrived today!

We will deliver them after recess on Monday so if you have a chance to do a gallery walk with your students Monday morning that could be nice for students to see the whole collection in a group.

Each piece has been numbered and will arrive in your pod in the following order:

Bear pod #1 Spirit of the Taku (Susan A. Point - Musqueam)

Eagle #2 Halibut (Susan A. Point - Musqueam)

Bobcat #3 Wolves (lessLIE - Cowichan, Pennelakut & Esquimalt)

Raven #4 Ravens Moon (Maynard Johnny Jr - Kwakwaka’wakw)

Sasquatch #5 Transformation (Caterpillar/Butterfly)

Salmon #6 Memory (Tadpole/Frog)

Orca #7 Discovery (Kelly Cannell - Musqueam)

Wolf #8 Protecting Posterity (lessLIE - Cowichan, Pennelakut & Esquimalt)

Thunderbird #9 Salmon's Moon (Maynard Johnny Jr - Kwakwaka’wakw)

We'll continue rotating through in this order so you can begin to plan ahead for pieces that connect to your room or curriculum. Here's the website link again.

Please let me know asap if you'll be needing any special materials - we're going to pick up playdough materials for the cookie cutters this weekend but we were thinking folks might want specific media - watercolours, Cricut resources, specific story workshop materials for the carts, anchor texts to help with storytelling etc.

When exploring the materials, please remember to document student engagement and learning so we can add them to our learning story.
