Wednesday, September 18, 2024

 Social Studies - We reviewed Canada's history of Residential Schools today. Finish your questions from today's reading for this Friday. Reminder: National Day of Truth and Reconciliation is Monday, Sept. 30th. No school for students that day.

Math - We had time to finish our practice assignment from yesterday (the green/yellow handouts). If yours is not yet complete, finish and hand it in by tomorrow. 

Religion - We continued our discussion of Residential Schools in Religion class, and had a chance to write in our Reflection Journals about the topic. Like always, I'll post today's prompt over on your Religion Edsby class page (It's called "Locally Determined Option" in Edsby).

ELA - We had time to finish our Story Maps for our first story assignment (Gross for Gr 5 / Boy and the Mountain for Gr 6). We started using these story maps to write a re-telling of the story in our own words, as well as imagine the thoughts and feelings of the main character in our story. This assignment is posted in your ELA Edsby class page, and is due on Tuesday. We will get more class time to work on it.

Computers - We officially started our keyboarding work on typing.com today. All students should have completed their 3-minute typing test, and started on your first lesson (F, J, and Spacebar). Remember you can always log on to typing.com at home to continue your practice.
