Say More Often

 We watched the one and only “Kid President” and a video on things we should say more often. These can be as simple as “you can do it,” “you’ve got this,” or “here’s a high-five for being awesome!” We then wrote our own paragraphs on things we should say more often. You can’t tell but our paragraphs are actually popping out of our artwork!

First Nations

 In social studies we have begun our First Nations unit. We have build our own teepees covered in symbolism that represent our various communities. You may not understand what is on the teepee just by looking at it, you would have to hear our “oral tradition” and the stories behind each symbol.

Paper Bag Project

In Language Arts we did a novel study where we all read a novel. This was called a Paper Bag Project. On each side of the bag we have different aspects about our story and its characters . Inside we put objects that represent one character from the book.

PE - Lacrosse

 In PE we have classroom lacrosse. Next Friday is the grade 5 versus teachers game!
