On Thursday, our school had a Daily 5 Assembly. How exciting to see a whole school engaged in sharing their love of reading with one another! Check out our readers in action!
In science, our class is learning about habitats. Students are exploring different habitats of their choice using books, computers and iPads. The students predicted what kinds of plants and animals live in their habitat and are now in the researching phase of the project. Here you can see students using technology to explore their topic further and determine whether their predictions were correct or not. Our class LOVES using technology to explore new information and answer questions that come up throughout our day!
Exploring Worldview
We have also been exploring the topic of Worldview which is this months Treaty Essential Learning topic. Here are some of the quotes students learned after listening to a First Nations Elder speak about worldview. The class worked together to summarize the elders idea and created a "wordle" poster of their ideas for our Treaty Essential Learning bulletin board.
Worldview Quotes from Learning Centre 3
