Amik loves school so much that he tells his grandfather all about it. His discovers that his grandfather attended a very different type of school – a residential school—so he invites him to attend school and tell his classmates what his school was like.

This gentle introduction to the residential school system for primary students can be used as a read-aloud to prompt discussions and writing activities.
