- Last week an important notice went home outlining another lockdown procedure. Unlike last time, students were told when it would take place, whereas for this practice round, students only know that it will take place before spring break.
- Calgary Safety Expo field trip TOMORROW.
- Fraction masterpieces are now overdue; we have not received everyone's.
Language Arts
- Students continued with their rough draft and are encouraged to work ahead. By now the following should be done: story map, beginning, event #1, and event #2.
Social Studies
- The Social project has been introduced. Please see the previous blog post for videos shown in class that summarize the event choices.
- The events include: Ancient Athenian democracy, the formation of the Iroquois Confederacy, the signing of the Magna Carta, New Zealand granting women the right to vote, or the Civil Rights Movement. If students know of another event that they want to research, they must speak to Ms. Cheng first
- Students will research their event, do a write-up, and then create a wampum (that contains symbols) that represent this event and its importance to the development of democracy.
