Kapawe’no First Nation – At KFN Collegiate, particularly at Kapawe’no Nehiyawak School we are enhancing numeracy and literacy skills is crucial for students’ education and life success. In Ms. Tomkins’ grades 5 and 6 class, numeracy learning involves more than arithmetic, as students learn to understand numbers deeply by manipulating multi-digit whole numbers, fractions, percentages, and decimals, all connected to real-world contexts.
Students engage in real problem solving both on the land and in the learning teepee at times, tackling challenges that enhance their thinking and creativity. By interpreting data, they cultivate critical analysis skills, essential for informed decision making.
KFN Collegiate also emphasizes literacy through activities in reading, writing, speaking, and listening. The curriculum aims to boost comprehension, vocabulary, and grammar. Writing tasks focus on improving coherence, language accuracy, and blending creativity with critical thinking. This supportive learning atmosphere empowers students with essential skills.
