Painting our Grandmother Rocks

We have been learning about how to have a sharing circle with Richelle Scott, the Indigenous Education Teacher for our school division. To bring sharing circles home to our families, we are painting our own grandmother rocks to pass around our family sharing circles, as part of communicating our thoughts and feelings with our family. We learned to paint the rocks with only two or three colours and to keep the design simple, so that the small rocks will stand out. We are also going to add a symbol for one of the Seven Sacred Teachings to our rocks. Once we finish preparing the rocks, we will write a letter to explain their purpose, and take them home to our families.
