We have been busy as usual! The students participated in an art project using oil pastels, and I'm sure you heard the tales of the red hands from all the blending they had to do! The students did a fabulous job! Here are some pictures in case you are not able to see our beautiful art before it comes off the boards...
We also started working on our first major research project of grade 5. The students have each been assigned an Indigenous group, and within that group, 1-2 topics to be researching. Students will be focusing on finding the main ideas of websites and books, putting information into their own words, and recording their sources. When their research is done, the students will meet with their group, and form one essay. It is a very valuable project that teaches useful skills that will be used as they go through Middle Years and Senior Years.
Below you will see pictures of the groups getting started with choosing topics. I'm looking forward to seeing the students grow in their knowledge and independence as they dig into books and websites to find their own information!
