On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month…..

SK spent some time over last week learning about Remembrance Day and why it is such an important day.  We read stories about being brave and courageous, we talked about the men and women who made sure and continue to ensure that Canada is safe and free, and we learned why we wear poppies as a symbol on this day.  Of course, we crafted poppies of all kinds!!

At our Remembrance Day assembly, the kids recited a poem called “Little Poppy” and they did an incredible job both performing and showing respect for their fellow students.  Check out the video below:

For our Remembrance Day assembly, we sang a special song called Od Yavo Shalom Aleinu (Peace Will Come Upon Us) as our wish is for there to be peace everywhere.  If you missed the assembly, here is our video:
