Just before All Saints’ Day, our first graders began a new Unit of Inquiry titled “Where We Are in Place and Time.” Its goal is to explore the past in order to better understand the present.

This is a special time to remember our ancestors and loved ones who are no longer with us. As part of the project, the students visited the Ethnographic Museum, where, with the help of a knowledgeable guide, they learned about various customs and traditions of commemorating the deceased practiced in different countries.To conclude the visit, the children created their own beautiful lanterns, which they took home as a symbol of remembrance and reflection on the passage of time.
