Black History Month Draws to a Close

Black History month along with First Nations resources was this month's thematic feature.  From fiction (easy picture books and chapter books), to non-fiction, students signed out some great resources and we had some fantastic discussions about residential schools and the struggles of people who are deemed as different whether that be of skin colour, ethnic backgrounds, abilities, and more.  Please continue these rich discussions outside of Parkview walls and on this blog (respectful writing is our mandate).  Thanks for being part of this important dialog, and awareness.  Together we can be Paperbag Princesses and not Prince Ronald's (Robert Munsch, Paper Bag Princess).

Reading and knowledge are the powers of anyone who choses such adventurous paths.  Ms. M.
