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!
