Tremendous Tuesday!
We began the day having French with Mlle.
Jessica.
During math, we picked a question that we
made with our partners and solved it together as a class. We then showed our
understanding of two digit addition and subtraction using a place mat in our math books.
Next we were off to gym.
When we returned, we continued with math.
After first recess and lunch we had Music.
During UOI, we reflected upon our learning
from yesterday and our understanding of push and pull factors. We talked more
about Malak and why she would need to leave Syria. During our conversation we
discovered how lucky we are to be living in such a safe country where we have
so many incredible opportunities available to us. We then looked at an article
about the Fort McMurray Fire that happened in Alberta. We read about children
who were living in Fort McMurray who needed to pack their items quickly so they
could be safe away from the fire; we looked into their most special possessions
and what they found most important to take with them:
Students were
then given the following scenario:
Imagine you are an immigrant who is
about to come to Canada. You are about to leave your country, possibly forever,
and you must decide what items you must take to your new home. What would you
want to bring?
Then our challenge was: Look back at
your list, can you carry everything you wrote down?
Children were reminded considering how
small their suitcase would be, they were choose only 4 items that you would
take to Canada. We shared our most treasured possessions in groups.
I will post the responses tomorrow.
- After second recess and lunch we wrote in our journals. Our journal
prompt was: How would you feel if your parents
told you that you were leaving Canada tonight? Explain why.
At the end of the day, we finished reading chapter 3 of The Borrowers.
