Socials:

Your child should have come home this week with their socials project. The goal of this is  to celebrate the diversity in our classroom and to better understand their personal and cultural identities.  Students are required to interview their families and put together a powerpoint (all through Office 365, Teams). We have had a few lessons in how to use this platform.

How can you help?

• You can help your  child by taking part in the interview- family heritage is a big part of understanding who they are!
• Upload pictures through a device onto the powerpoint to align with what the sub heading is. Also save these pictures onto their USB (send back each school day).
• Share stories about your family….
• Your child should practice with you as they will be  required to present this to their class.

This is school/home project. We are hoping that students will be ready to present their projects by the end of this month.

Enjoy and thank you for your support.

Science:

Students have now chosen a Canadian animal to conduct their researches. Canada is our area of study this term. It is a unit that covers our Literature/Novel study (Owls in the Family), Science and Socials. The students have a critieria sheet for all the parts that they need to research. Please review it with them. Again, this is a home/school project and the USB should be sent back with pictures on it. The research will again use the powerpoint platform and they will be required to present it to their class.

We will be editing, helping them along here as well. Our afternoon times are usually dedicated to Inquiry Projects.

Thank you for all your support and have a great Thanksgiving weekend.! Take care,

Ann Ford
