Ojibwe Word of the Week: June

This month we decided to continue with the idea of a pow wows and chose words from the book "Bow Wow Pow Wow". We read this book to our classes, watched videos about the significance of pow wows and reflected on our own visit to the Lambton College Pow Wow earlier in the year. This book had a lot of animals so we decided on four animals for the words of the week. We have found that our students make good connections when the words are animals.
