Join us for a cross-curricular extravaganza where we look at texts by Indigenous authors and illustrators that focus on connections to nature.

Explore how food connects to daily life through Jennie Eaglespeaker’s book “Please Don’t Hide My Vegetables.” French Immersion teachers will also examine cross-curricular connections between FILAL and other subject areas through the text “Mon Ami Agnès” by Julie Flett.
