  • How Are We Unique? How Do We Celebrate Our Global Community? How does where we live effect how we live and who we are? How can we be the best we can in everything we do? What can we discover to help us understand our world? How are we connected? Do our early experiences with nature create a sense of responsibility to the earth and its inhabitants? What is change? In What ways Does The Earth Speak? What are the meaningful moments in my life? What is our perspective of the world around us? What is Magical about Nature? What lasting treasure can we find in the changes that occur in ourselves, our families and our world? How does change affect global awareness and citizenship? How do our diverse backgrounds enrich our lives as Canadians? How Does Mythology Reveal Where We Are? What does it mean to live a life of purpose? What is Beautiful? What can we do to make our world a better place? How must we be the change we wish to see in the world? How are we connected? How is the layered landscape revealed to us? What do we know about Polar Bears? Change is constant and occurs in patterns all around us
