What We Learned Today...November 26th


This morning we started the day as well as the week off with a school wide Holodomor liturgy in the gym to recognize Holodomor Awareness Week.  Holodomor recognizes and remembers the Ukrainian famine - genocide of 1932 and 1933.  After the liturgy concluded we came back to class just in time for ELA. During this time the students began reading the story "The Killers Tall Tale" and answered response questions.  Note: the questions are not due yet, I will give another ELA period to complete them.
After recess the students had Phys. Ed with Ms. Norris and continued to work through their physical activity stations.

In French today, the students listened to various French Musical Artists and had to identify what musical genre they were hearing using their notes from the previous lessons.  We are about half way done this lesson and will finish it up tomorrow.
During the last period of the day the students worked on their Social Trade questions from last week until 3:00.  At 3:00 the students learned about Mystery Skypes and were able to watch a video from a Grade 3 class that had already tried one. We will attempt our first Mystery Skype in a few weeks with another 7/8  classroom here in Regina.
