Everyone has a story and that story matters.
We have been exploring the different parts of our own personal stories.
What words would you use to describe your life story? We used magazines to search for these words and added them to a silhouette of our face. We wrote lists about who we are, what we can and cannot do, our likes and dislikes and the people who matter most in our lives.
Using the list of loved ones, we created a family tree and told our family stories. It was so interesting to find out where our friend's families come from! Some families have stories about moving from other places in Canada and around the world. We learned about different family traditions and shared our favourite family activities.
We also learned about the story of our name. We talked and wrote about why our parents chose our name and what the meaning of our name is. Many of us were named after someone close to our moms or dads - a relative or a close family friend. A couple of our friends were named after characters on television!
One of our favourite activities was creating a heart map, showing all of the things that take up space in our hearts. We read the book My Map Book and used it as inspiration for our own creations.
Who we are, who we love and what we experience makes our story unique.
When we remember that everyone has a story of their own, our interactions become more compassionate, tolerant and gracious.
