Throughout our study of Canada and our “Canadascape” theme the students are involved in a number of activities in order to learn more about and appreciate many aspects of their country. As the students work through this theme using the Internet, they are developing the following skills: reading and writing, organizing information, locating resources, analyzing the appropriateness of materials, small and large group discussion, independent and team production, storage and retrieval of data and publishing information.
Together, with the students of 208, we visited the heritage classroom at Ecole LaVerendrye on May 28. The students worked in a classroom "from the past" and enjoyed the music, dress and work that children participated in during the school times of the 1930s and 1940s in Canada. Our next field trip will be on June 9th and we will be exploring Oak Hammock Marsh. Permission slips will be sent home today.

Our project to learn about the significance of the horse to Canadian culture and civilization is almost complete. During this integrated Social Studies/English Language Arts project, students have been employing research and map skills, chart reading and construction ability, as well as broadening their cultural knowledge. These links will take you to a small sample of some of their fun work: Aqua Beethoven Emery Kyra Molly Emma
Everyone from our class was delighted to present a reader’s theatre adaptation of Betsy Who Cried Wolf. All of the students worked very enthusiastically and diligently to present scheduled performances to various classrooms and guests.
We celebrated our learning about the Gray Wolf across Canada during the gallery walk on May 8. The children created wonderful sketches with the help of resident artist Ella Kochenash. The students are beginning to add their work to our webpage. Take a look!
