A Day Out at Arts Commons

We had a great day at Arts Commons. For many of us, it was our first time to Arts Commons and we were in awe of the beautiful architecture inside the Jack Singer Concert Hall lobby.
We participated in 2 different workshops today. The first was presented by an Indigenous Educator, Chantel, who taught us many special medicines, traditions and stories of the Treaty 7 people.  The second workshop was taught by a local Calgary drama expert-Natalie. She was super fun and taught us many different ways to express ourselves through our voices, movements and expressions.
Here's some of our favourite parts and what we learned today:
1. "I learned a game where we said 'What's that?' and then we made stories from our actions." D.T.
2. "I learned with Chantel the 4 elements and that 4 is a special number and 3 new songs." F. O.
3."I learned  with Chantel some of the Blackfoot medicines and I learned how the Indigenous found their families and friends when it was dark." A.C.

Reminders:
1. Last day to return cookie orders is tomorrow.
2. Early dismissal on Thursday at 12:30.
3. If you haven't signed up for a Student Learning Conference, I only have times left on Friday.
