Explain to the class that they are beginning a new unit about water. Ask the students questions about water. Using a “talking rock or feather”, have your students pass this item around the circle. Ask your students questions about water
Talk to the children about the phrase, “Water is in us and all around us,” and ask them to think about what that means. Remind them that yesterday (or the previous lesson on water) they were asked to look around their house and see how water is used (cooking, washing, flush toilet, brush teeth).
Remind the children that they have been working on a unit about water and how it is viewed by First Nations people. Last circle time they were asked to think about how much water they used around their house.
Exploring with water is always fun. Provide students with an opportunity to view water in various containers and to transfer the water to and from various containers
Students will be able to read the First Nation Creation story that is located at the end of this lesson plan, retell it to someone, and write their own Creation Story as a group
