1. If you wanted to have a special guest join your class what would you do?

2. How would you prepare your students for the up coming guest?

3. How would you link curriculum activities to your guest? (eg: Drum dancing)

4. How would you thank your guest for coming?

If you wanted to have a special guest join your class what would you do?

Write an email or make a phone call to ask if they are available for an presentation to many students or if they can teach students how to drum dance or what they are good at.

How would you prepare your students for the up coming guest?

I would prepare my students by telling them there’s an guest coming in a few days.

How would you link curriculum activities to your guest?

If my guest was coming to do an presentation about drum dance, I would let my students make something to do with drum dancing such as, let them sew a little drum or make them colour something to do with drum dance. I can also let them watch a movie something to do with drum dance or let them hear a song about drum dancing.

How would you thank your guest for coming?

I’d thank my guest by making a card with a little note saying thank you for coming and letting my students learn or prepare snacks with tea, coffee or water for letting the guest feel welcome and my way of saying thank you. I can also just say “Thank you” in person.

1. I would start by emailing and explain the activity/presentation I want the guest to do

2. When we are almost done at circle time, I would tell my students that we will have a special guest coming for an activity/presentation

3. If my request has been accepted by my guest, I would let my students hear throat singing songs before my guest comes. And if possible, I would also let my students see images of Inuit throat singing (posture, body language, and what not). If my students learn, I would let students do throat singing songs when or if there is a Qulliq lighting at a daycare

4. I would start off with positive feedback and then I would thank the guest. Maybe give that guest a thank you card too

1. When asking a guest to come and do an activity, I would call and or email the person if they can come and present some traditional song/activities.

2. I would prepare the students by telling them to go sit in a circle on the floor before the guest comes and tell them the activity we will do.

3. If the person agreed to come and drum dance and throat sing, i would tell the kids to be quiet and stay still until the activity is done and the guest is finished what that person came in for.

4. I would thank the guest by having all the kids say a warm thank you with me and give advice that there’s other places to go a perform too.

• If I want a special guest to join in my class, what I would do is ask first when would be the best time to join in our class for you to teach our students with Drum Dancing? Through the phone or an send a email.

How would you prepare your students for the up coming guest?

• I would notify the students a week before the guest that would join us on this day. And we would start preparing on what we need to be prepared about in our classroom (for example, have the cold water ready, or Tea/coffee ready) I would want the students to be a welcoming students and if they have a questions they can also ask questions.

How would you link curriculum activities to your guest?

• If the guest agree to join us in our class, I would notify the students 1 week before the quest join us as I would ask the guest 2 weeks before we want the guest to join us in our class. So as an Early childhood educator we would be sort of be prepared for the upcoming guest to join us in our classroom that would want to talk about the drum dancing and teach drum dancing about their knowledge.

How would you thank your guest for coming?

• As a class we would make a Thank you card for the guest, and the Thank you card would have all the students name and make the card look fancy and be thankful for the guest that the guest was willing to teach our students their knowledge with drum dance. And say, thanks again for joining us and thank you for giving some time to join us in our classroom.
