IN-SCHOOL SUPPORT TEACHER: Renée McGurry
“In April and May of this year, I visited seven classrooms at Whyte Ridge School. Although scheduling these visits was a challenge, I managed to visit each of the grade 3 and 4 classes twice. Students were introduced to the 5 W’s of the Treaties: the Who, What, Where, When and Why. This was followed by hands-on activities, which allowed the students to get a closer look at the Treaty Medal and the Map of Manitoba. Students and staff were left with a good understanding of the Numbered Treaties and how they are a very important part of the history of this country."
