We started the day with a period to work independently on unfinished work. We had a substitute during this time, while Mme did some work in the learning commons. After independent work we did our second math station. The stations were the same as yesterday, but we changed which group was at which station. In music we continued to do garage band. After music we did our third math station. Tomorrow we will finish our final station, and do some final review for our assessment on Tuesday. There will be some activities linked at the bottom of the entry to help practice and prepare for the assessment. In English we read the book -ish, and we had to identify the characters' feelings and qualities. We did this to practice for our Hatchet scrapbook assignment. Afterwards we looked through old examples of the Hatchet scrapbook assignment and identified what we thought was done well, and what could have been improved. At lunch the editors and photographers of yearbook club had their photo taken. After lunch we had a period of French reading. In Social Studies we looked at maps that show how Canada evolved over time (from the early 1600's to present day). We talked about what we noticed about the different maps, and then Mme asked us what was missing? We realized that non of the maps showed the different territories before the arrival of europeans. Mme showed us some maps that showed where different First Nations groups lived before contact with europeans. We studied that maps and had to make observations, and say what information the maps gave us. Mme gave students that will attend FEO next year an invitation to the FEO open house and reminded us about the field trip to visit FEO on February 28th. Students that will go to Branton will receive more information later. Reminders: Tomorrow is dress like your favourite book character day. Monday we will have pajama day (for Room 19 only) Division assessment - Tuesday February 26th
