Happy Friday Everyone!
This week, we completed our dioramas on the regions of Canada, using collage, drawing, clay sculpture, and repurposed materials. They are now proudly on display in the library and look absolutely fantastic!
In math we concluded our unit on statitistics, data and graphing. We will continue to revisit these concepts for the rest of the year. Check out our tooth graph!
In literacy, beyond phonics and reading, we explored the story-poem book This is How I Know by Brittany Luby. This award-winning book truly deserves its recognition. After reading it once, we read it again more slowly, examining the four seasons through the lens of an Indigenous elder. The children then graphed the information from the book into the four seasons of the medicine wheel. Having recently studied traditions and heritage in Social Studies, the students were able to make meaningful connections to the text, deepening their understanding of both the story and the cultural perspectives it highlighted.
Have a great weekend!
