- Older students choosing their own attributes within the land to acknowledge and care for]]> 2021-09-30 12:58:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jholmes20/d6g84yd45t403d22/wish/1781248296 https://padlet.com/jholmes20/d6g84yd45t403d22/wish/1781249130 If we were to adapt it in an art class we could have students draw the land, sky, people and the animals in it. Everyone would come up with a different idea and each drawing of people, animals, land and sky will be different. ]]> 2021-09-30 12:58:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jholmes20/d6g84yd45t403d22/wish/1781249130 https://padlet.com/jholmes20/d6g84yd45t403d22/wish/1781250133 It's a great way to introduce the land acknowledgement to younger grades. It's a very heavy topic that is made lighter by adding movements and using kid-friendly language. We could create our own class land acknowledgement with sing-song and movements as well.]]> 2021-09-30 12:58:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jholmes20/d6g84yd45t403d22/wish/1781250133 https://padlet.com/jholmes20/d6g84yd45t403d22/wish/1781256041 - this can be done every morning as part of the morning meeting/morning circle, and can even be adapted into a song
- doing actions such as waving to the sky and hugging yourself is more interactive  for the students
- this activity is great for kindergarteners in specific, and teaches how to respect the land and indigenous culture.]]> 2021-09-30 13:00:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jholmes20/d6g84yd45t403d22/wish/1781256041 https://padlet.com/jholmes20/d6g84yd45t403d22/wish/1781260660 We can adapt this to our classroom in many different ways such as working with younger kids. The younger kids would enjoy circle time and having these kinds of movements. This is a great way to start appreciating the land. You can also adapt this into a yoga stretch during gym class.

It can be adapted in the junior grade by adding the whys and understanding the importance of it by expanding on it. It can be integrated in different subjects like Drama or Art to develop better understanding.]]> 2021-09-30 13:03:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jholmes20/d6g84yd45t403d22/wish/1781267191 toulapanagopoulos11 https://padlet.com/jholmes20/d6g84yd45t403d22/wish/1781270368 -In a primary classroom, educators can gather students on the carpet (or whichever space is available) and along with doing the movements that the lady in the video is doing, it would be great to also encourage them to repeat the words in the video (e.g. "hello land", etc.)
- Before doing this exercise, explaining the importance of why we do a Land Acknowledgement as well as the history behind it, will make students connect and appreciate it more.

- Can be done at the beginning of the day during morning activities, embedded into morning rituals
- Begin to allow students to become aware of the diverse lands in which we are on and live
- Incorporating music that is relevant to the land in which they are on or have been on. Can also incorporate physical interactive movement to help better understand

- When the weather is nice take the students outside to get to appreciate the land.
- Get students involved by getting them to read/lead the land acknowledgement
- A lot of schools do land acknowledgement during the morning announcement but those can go unheard sometimes, have an additional individual land acknowledgement in your classroom as well to enhance the school's land acknowledgement.
- Turn the land acknowledgement into a lesson for a social studies class.
-  Bring digital media, videos, audio, books, etc. into the land acknowledgement to show students resources.]]> 2021-09-30 13:07:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jholmes20/d6g84yd45t403d22/wish/1781279061 https://padlet.com/jholmes20/d6g84yd45t403d22/wish/1781287220 - incorporate relevant texts, short movies, music pieces, and possibly guest speakers to enlighten students of all ages to put themselves into context of the Indigenous community
- honour the land acknowledgement as we would with the National anthem
- take students on field trips to put students into perspectives of the lives the children had lived so students can understand the plights one may have lived
- Use pen pal letters so students can connect with families or children]]> 2021-09-30 13:10:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jholmes20/d6g84yd45t403d22/wish/1781287220
