It may be a comprehensive resource that broadly addresses several of the student learning outcomes (e.g., a major integrated resource, series, textbook), an in-depth student resource that addresses at least one student learning outcome or a professional resource for educators.

Art First Nations. Tradition and Innovation
Featuring both traditional and innovative art works, the posters in these kits are beautiful examples of painting, carving, clothing, basketry, jewellery and masks of First Nations peoples from the Arctic to the American Southwest.
The manual contains thematic modules comparing traditional and modern artists and their works from each of the five major cultural regions. Activities are suggested for each of the curriculum components. Included are biographies of artists, maps, timelines, assessment activities, bibliographies and a glossary.
These resources contain significant Canadian content. One module in each kit focuses on Plains art work, but the inclusion of Arapaho of Kansas and Oklahoma under the heading "Métis" may cause confusion. The map on page 19 in each manual shows where individual artists live/lived, but the actual cultures are more widespread.
Both kits are useful for the elementary level.

Bats at the Ballgame
They've been to the beach. They've patronized the library. And now, Brian Lies' adorable bats are going to watch a baseball game. As in his earlier books Bats at the Beach and Bats at the Library, Brian Lies creates a charming fantasy that turns a conventional human activity into a topsy-turvy nocturnal adventure. With luminous acrylic illustrations, Lies shares his vision of a night at the ballpark - for bats. The humour is everywhere, from flying vendors selling mothdogs and Cricket Jack to the grounds crew marking the base lines with powdered sugar to Lies' own bat version of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame."

Les points de vue. 1e, 2e, 3e et 4e année
À l’aide des directives du programme d’enseignement de la danse, les élèves seront invités à trouver leur propre vocabulaire relatif aux mouvements, à créer de courtes séquences de danse et à explorer différentes dynamiques de la danse.

Les points de vue sont un guide pratique pour créer des compositions en utilisant différents points de vue pour se concentrer sur la création des performances. Les 9 points de vue de base sont : le tempo, la durée, la réponse kinesthésique, la répétition, la relation spatiale, la topographie (parcours), la forme, le geste et l’architecture.

Roll with It, Featuring Laura Hale. Grades 1 & 2
Roll with It is a collaborative project that includes all students contributing to the final artwork. The piece organically develops and evolves in response to student creation and composition. Laura explores materials and their transformation. Students consider colour, texture, shape, form and pattern while they develop material techniques. They cut, combine, layer and roll varying sizes of tissue paper strips into paper tubes that are then cut into bead-like lengths. Students then arrange and glue the rolled paper tubes of various sizes and colours in an upright position onto a substrate or surface (plywood or framed canvas) that will eventually hang on the wall in the school. The numerous irregular sized beads in a variety of colours sprout up in different directions, creating an abstract sculptural paper collage. The final artwork brings to mind aerial landscape views, satellite imagery and/or biological and geographical patterns and microscopic cellular formations.

metawe = To Play. Drama with Curtis Peeteetuce. Grades 1 & 2
We must continue speaking our Cree language. The revitalization of language and culture are vital to the rebuilding of community. In this workshop, educators and students revisit our mandate for play. Interactive elements include familiarizing ourselves with voice and body as we explore animal play of the Treaty 6 territory. These include bear (maskwa), eagle (kihew) and buffalo (paskwa-mostos). Language is also incorporated from a beginner level. As we choose to listen to the words and meanings of select Cree terms, we begin to understand how language is vital to identity. The workshop culminates in students playing animals and characters in an excerpt from Curtis Peeteetuce's youth play, kiwek, which is inspired by the film Jumanji. A talkback with students allows for post-performance discussion among the students and a chance to share what was learned.
