Who is your favourite stuffy?

Week 9 Culture Home Learning: 7 Grandfather Teachings

Posted: June 1, 2020

During Culture classes this year, most students were introduced to some of the Grandfather teachings.

There are 7 Grandfather teachings: Love, Respect, Courage, Honesty, Humility, Truth, and Wisdom.

Each of the 7 Grandfather teachings have an animal that coincides with the teaching.

In the document above you will find pictures of each animal and their teaching explained. You will also find how to apply each of the 7 Grandfather teachings in your everyday life.

Many students at NSEE have been introduced to some of the Grandfather teachings stuffed animals, but since our school year was cut short, we did not get to learn about them all. If you wish to see all 7 Grandfather teachings animals, please visit my photo album titled 7 Grandfather Teachings. All 7 stuffed animals have special names.

Check out the album & explore the document above to learn more about the animals and their teachings!

*Culture Challenge*

Choose one of the 7 Grandfather Teachings and write a story about a time in your life when you used the teaching. You may also wish to draw a picture. Don't forget to share it with me via email or Facebook to have your name entered in a draw for a special prize! (Check back later to find out who May's Culture Challenge winner is!)

There are only two weeks left of home learning! Have you challenged yourself yet? :)
