Wednesday April 5, 2017

Wonderful Wednesday!

We began the day having French with Mlle. Jessica.

We then began writing our review for our upcoming test Addition and Subtraction to 100.

Next we had gym.

When we returned, we continued working on our Math reviews.

Following first recess and lunch we continued to explore migration and the reasons that people migrate from one country to another. We first read a book titled Migrant and we followed the story of a girl named Anna who wished that she was like a tree and could stay rooted in one place but instead she was like a bird moving back and forth between her home country and Canada. We learned that her family needed to make the journey to Canada so that they could make more money and then they would go home for fall and winter where there were not as many job opportunities. After our discussion about this book we worked in groups to come up with the many reasons people choose to migrate. We then worked as a class to organize the many push and pull factors we came up with. We started to see a pattern and managed to classify the push and pull factors under four categories: environmental, social, political and economy.

































After second recess and lunch we imagined and wrote about ourselves as borrowers. Students really used their creativity skills for this fun activity!
