Elementary Mathematics
On November 1st, EEMS and ESK immersion elementary teachers participated in a workshop called Weaving Mathematics Through Basket-Making. The workshop was facilitated by Kyla Bernard and Virick Francis. The teachers and some admin staff learned math concepts across different strands. Kyla made connections to the L'nuimk assessment and the story Kalolin learns about baskets. The winner of the door prize donated by Virick Francis was Sandra Linklater. She won mini pair of basket earrings.
