Repost from @nagk_school using @RepostRegramApp - #Repost @miqueldangeli (@get_repost) ・・・ Great first day back @nagk_school I’ve sure missed my students! I’m elated with how much Sm’algya̱x they retained over the break! I am always on the lookout for fun new ways to make our language visible through our school. I came across this cool little old school message board on clearance at The Source and I’m using to post Sm’algya̱x through out the week! 2018 is off to an awesome start. Ayaaltga’nu! 💞🎆💞 . . . #ayaaltganu #nagkschool #kitsumkalum_bc #kitsumkalum #naaksagyilakyooschool #smalgya̱x #smalgyax #tsimshianlanguage #smalgyaxlanguagelearners #tsimshianterritory #kto12 #teacher #tsmsyeenlanguage #tsmsyeenterritory #drdangelinagk #drdangeli #miqueldangeli #firstnation #indigenous (at Na Aksa Gyilak'yoo School)

Repost from @miqueldangeli using @RepostRegramApp - Here’s one of the approaches I’m developing to teach my @nagk_school students about emotions in Sm’algya̱x: EMOJIs 😁😢😍😂☺️ they sure love these thing! There all over their school supplies and clothes. To respond to their interest, I used a product call “Wall Pops” which makes permanent wall decals featuring two emojis. Then applied the two yellow circles to a magnetic dry erase board and applied and cut out all the facial expressions to magnetic paper so they’re inter change able. I’m going to use it to both teach and assess learning by creating games where student teams will race to create the emoji translation of Sm’algya̱x words and sentences by assembling the face. We’re implementing it for the first time next week! It’s going to be so much fun! . . . #nagkschool #nagk #naaksagyilakyooschool #drdangelinagk #smalgya̱x #smalgyax #kitsumkalum #tsimshianlanguage #tsmsyeenlanguage #kitsumkalum_bc #tsimshianterritory #tsmsyeenterritory (at Na Aksa Gyilak'yoo School)

#Repost @nagk_school (@get_repost) ・・・ During 'Na Aksa Gyilaky'oo school's Good Start Camp our students jarred salmon with our staff! It was a first time experience for many of our primary students. The older students that knew how became teachers to the younger ones. My favourite conversations were between students who said "My Gigi (grandmother) does it this way. Then another student would demonstrate a different technique saying "Well my Gigi does it this way." It was beautiful to see how they embraced each other's way. Our school teaches students that there is room for different teachings and to value knowing many ways. Learning by doing and intergenerational teaching between students and staff is key to our approach to Indigenous education. #nagkschool #indigenouseducation #firstnations #traditionalknowledge #tsmsyeen #smalgyax #tsimshianlanguage #tsimshian #tsmsyeenlanguage #decolonizingeducation #kitsumkalum #kitsumkalum_bc (at Na Aksa Gyilak'yoo School)
