Last Day of School!

Wednesday, June 24th

Dear division 8,

It’s the last day of school! I wish you and your families a wonderful summer.  I might see some of you tomorrow when you pick up your report cards…I can’t wait!

Here’s the last virtual field trip of the year! Enjoy!

Last week of school!

Monday, June 22nd

Dear Division 8,

Hope you had a wonderful weekend. For today, please do 2 of the activities on the Weekly schedule that I emailed to you!

Just for fun, I’ve added a 30 day lego challenge! You can pick one activity to try today – this is a CHOICE!

30 day LEGO challenge!

Virtual Field Trip:

Click on ONE of the links and explore the site! In the comments section please tell me what field trip you went on and what you learned!

Access to Mars!

Great Wall of China!

Georgia Aquarium!

Also, National Indigenous Peoples Day takes place on June 21st of every year. It began in
1996 and was originally called National Aboriginal Day. The day commemorates and
honours First Nations, Inuit, and Métis People’s cultures, histories, and contributions to
Canada. June 21st was chosen because it is the longest day of the year and has long
been celebrated by Indigenous Peoples.

This day is an opportunity to recognize the historic contributions of Indigenous Peoples
to the development of Canada. There are many ways to celebrate the day but as
June is also National Indigenous History Month there is an opportunity to learn about
Indigenous history and to deepen our understanding of Indigenous people and their
role in the present-day and future of Canada all month long

I hope you take a moment to listen to the song below.

Singer: Buffy Sainte-Marie                               Song- You Got to Run (Spirit of theWind)

Buffy Sainte-Maire was born as Beverly Sainte-Marie on Feb. 20, 1941, on the
Piapot Cree Indigenous reserve in the Qu’Appelle Valley, Saskatchewan.
Sainte-Marie’s fearless social commentary and advocating for Indigenous issues,
both in her songs and in her life, have earned her many devoted fans and the
respect of her musical peers.

Song

Enjoy the day!

Love,

Ms. Binng
