It’s a new month so you should be seeing your child working with a new novel (French this time). Just like before, they have a written portion that has to be handed in on the last school day of the month (in this case the 30th). On our classroom calendar we worked out that all the reading should be done by Sunday the 21st, to be able to use class time for the written portion.
We had an online presentation from Oceans Network Canada. For Science, students have been charged with taking the weekend to reflect on what might interest them in regards to the ocean. I’m VERY open to ideas and there are many connections available; animal life, climate change, politics, robotics, indigenous culture, navigation, research, data analysis, boat building, etc.
For Socials/Art/Writing students are working on redesigning Greek myths into interpreted plays. They have encouraged to modify and be creative while keeping the original story.
We’re continuing our work with Figurative Language. Students have been charged with bringing them into their Greek scripts. We watched the following video to help with…um…inspiration? And the students were able to draw out a TON of examples.
