Connecting the Six Coast Salish Animals to BC’s Core Competencies
A teacher form Delta has created this website to share her personal Inquiry into the Six Cedar Trees book. Check out her website by clicking here, Six Cedar Trees or on the title above.
The Six Cedar Trees, grew out of a personal inquiry into British Columbia’s Core Competencies and a school inquiry into the The First Peoples Principles of Learning. Each animal has been chosen carefully as an “anchor” to teach children holistically, ways of being a reflective, compassionate and well-adjusted person connected through a sense of social responsibility and compassion for place and people.
The teacher librarian at her school created the following document:
