Unknown Story
Storyboard Text
- Welcome to Ms. Masciole's Kindergarten class room!
- That is my story, thank you for reading!
- A comic strip written by: Madison Masciole
- As I sit in the Tipi, I feel a sense of relief. Even though I am still in the classroom, the inside of the tipi is a little darker and quieter. I can sit inside and have deep breaths. I can see everyone's unique part and feel the positive spirits within. This tipi means a lot to me now and I am so glad that we learned about them, and I am happy Ms. Masciole introduced it to us.
- Today I am going home feeling good about my day. I am so glad we are learning more and more about the indigenous culture with Ms. Masciole. There are so many things that we could do that help us with our days.
- I just don't feel like I belong here, there is no where to go to calm my body down when I am feeling anxious. I begin to get overwhelmed and upset.
- Ashley, how are you feeling? Is there anything I can do to help you feel more safe in the classroom?
- Im glad that we could come together as a class and compete this tipi. It brings me much joy to see the students take pride in this community project. The tipi has many meanings and holds many stories. I hope forcan hold onto moving forward.
- As a Teacher I have been looking for new ways to incorporate holistic healing approaches in my class, to also bring mor recognition to the true indigenous culture
- Being part of this creation gave me a warm feeling inside. That we worked together to create a place that we are all welcome in. A place where coming to sit and reflect and to share stories is welcome in a calm space.
- We talked about how each pole in the tipi had a story. Each student painted their own pole to share their stories. Some students painted their poles, others added different materials that were meaningful to them. We put them all together and tied it at the top. We then used a sheet to cover it. But, before it was completed we each placed a handprint on the sheet to display beautiful colours and bring us all together as one.
