December 4th Update

Social Studies

Students are working on some important projects this week in social studies.

Grade Two:

The Grade Two students have a home work assignment. It will come home today and is due next Monday. Students will need help from their families to complete this assignment. There will be no spelling homework this week for Grade Two students so that they have more free time to work on their project. If you have any questions about the project please write a note in the agenda and I will respond. Thank you for your support with this!

Grade Three:

The Grade Three students are working on researching a particular First Nations group. They will then apply their knowledge to create a diorama of the community. This project will be completed at school but students may wish to bring in some items from home for their diorama (craft materials, cardboard, etc.) Bringing in materials is not mandatory as everything will be provided but students may bring in things if they wish to.

Art

We have started an exciting art project influenced by M.C. Escher. For this project students need to think of a symbol that they will use to trace. 

Grade Two students will choose a symbol that represents their heritage and culture (for example- someone who celebrates Chinese New Year may choose the dragon, or a red envelope as their symbol). Students may wish to discuss possible symbols with their families before Thursday.

Grade Three students will choose a symbol that represents a First Nations group that we have been learning about (possible symbols could be corn, or the birch back canoe as both are significant to the Wendat and Anishinabe - groups we have been studying)
