Who Should be on the Next Canadian $5 Bill?

Happy second week of February Division 10.

This week we will be reading an article: Who Should be on the Next $5 Bill? (Please click the hyperlink on the left where the title is.) I want you to read the article and then think of a famous Canadian person that has contributed to Canada and the development of this wonderful country. Here are some of the guidelines when you choose your famous person:

  • Canadian.
  • Remarkable in some way.
  • Dead (for at least 25 years).
  • Real (not fictional).

Personally, I would choose Michael Buble because he has contributed so much to the Burnaby community. He lives just off of Government Road (near the Costco) and he has done so many things to help out charities and our community. Not only does he help out whole community out, but he also is a positive influence for everyone. He hasn’t gotten in trouble with the law, even though he has lots of money. Sometimes, when people have too much money they can become a little reckless (for example, buying a super fast car and then driving way over the speed limit). Lastly, I love the fact that he is a good family man to his wife and kids. Did you know his son had cancer at the age of 5 and that they were at Children’s Hospital for months? He now is better and is attending Seaforth Elementary again. 

TASK:

-Pick one Canadian person you would choose and write why they should be on the next $5 bill.

    I think Alexander Graham Bell should be on the five dollar because he invented the first telephone. A telephone is important because if your in a emergency and you half to call 911 you need your phone to do that.

    I think that Wayne Gretzky showed be on the 5 dollar 💵 Bill because he is a hockey player and I think 💭 that he showed be remembered because he won the staidly cup with the “Edmonton Oilers”in 1984 1985 1987 and 1988. He won 4 staidly cups. I also think that Celine Dion should be on the 5 💵 Bill because she is a fantastic singer🎼 I think that she would be a vary nice women and friend to have. I think that most people that are kind and caring to others should be on the 5 dollar 💵 Bill. I think that Summer from Wonder should be on the 5 dollar Bill too because she is kind caring and she excepted Auggie for who he was and wasn’t a jerk to him. Summer helped Auggie in tuff times when he was getting teased or been made fun of.Summer stowed opus for Auggie when people where talking about Auggie behind his back. Is Summer a reel person? And if she is then I would probably chows her. But if Summer is not a reel person then I would probably chows Wayne Gretzky or Celine Dion.

    I think Alexander Graham Bell should be on the next 5 dollar bill because the importance of telephones cant really be described in words.

I cant imagine a life without telephones.
