We celebrated our Hawks Cup win today with some frozen treats!
Keep up the kindness - not for the points - because its the right thing to do.

Math
We will continue with the Leo the Rabbit question:

Leo the Rabbit is climbing up a flight of 10 steps. Leo can only hop up 1 or 2 steps each time he hops. He never hops down, only up. How many different ways can Leo hop up the flight of 10 steps? Provide evidence to justify your thinking.

Sadly - we did not get to learn from the folks at Waterlution. I'm working on rescheduling!

Great job!

Literacy
Awesome knowledge building circle today! Please take the thoughts and ideas shared today to now revise our school land acknowledgement. I will collect your rewritten land acknowledgement on Wednesday. Remember you need to acknowledge the Dish With One Spoon Treaty and connect it in a meaningful way to our school pillars of Be Kind to Yourself, Be Kind to Others and Be Kind to the Environment.

"At Moraine Hills we would like to acknowledge that we live, work and play on Dish With One Spoon Treaty Lands. This treaty agreement is an understanding that all people - past, present and future - who share this land are responsible for making sure that we are kind to ourselves, kind to one another, and kind to the land that we call home. In this spirit, we are working towards peace, reconciliation, and equal rights for our indigenous partners."
