Hi everyone,

Hope you are enjoying Canada Day with your family. Happy 153rd Birthday Canada!

Even though it is rainy, we can still appreciate our beautiful country and how lucky we are to live in the best country in the world!

Below, I have included a Canada Day message to kids from Justin Trudeau, our Prime Minister, and 2 read alouds about Canada. Enjoy!

Hi everyone,

I am wishing you all a very happy summer! Thank you for visiting this blog over the last few months. I hope you have enjoyed my stories and posts. I may post a few things over the summer, but not every week.

If you haven’t registered yet, please go to the Burnaby Public Library website and register for the Summer Reading Program. Everything is free and online. You are now able to put books on hold at the library, and pick them up when they are ready. It’s called Paper Bag Pickup!

Please enjoy the videos below!

Happy Summer to you all! I look forward to seeing everyone again in September. Be kind, be calm, be safe! And…Happy Reading, of course!

Mrs. Roberts

Hi Everyone,

Today’s story, A Day With Yayah by Nicola I. Campbell, illustrated by Julie Flett, is about a First Nations family that goes on a walk to gather plants to eat. Yayah, the grandmother, explains everything she knows about the world and all the living things around them as the family walks together.

As you listen, take note: Does Yayah talk about any plants that you already know? Are there some plants that you’ve never heard of before? Have you eaten any of the plants that Yayah talks about? **Very important – never eat anything from nature without knowing what it is and asking an adult first!**

This story reminds me of the salmonberry bushes in the trails near my house. As I walk with my family, we always look for the ripe salmonberries so we can have a juicy snack!

Enjoy the story below.
