What We Learned Today...April 21st

Ms. Tillman giving her fantastic presentation!

ELA: Today we started out our day by writing our final RAD exams.  Since these exams are quite long, we spent the first hour of the day as well as the period after Phys. Ed writing them.  Students who still need to finish, will have the entire ELA period tomorrow to complete them.

Science Presentation: After lunch the students were fortunate to join the Grade 6 class for a special presentation about sharks.  We were joined by Ms. Tillman, who in addition to being a fantastic substitute teacher, is also a Marine Biologist and led the presentation. She shared her knowledge of sharks as well as the dangers facing them with our two classes.  Students also got the opportunity to try on some of her scuba diving gear so they could get a little taste of what it is like to be a Marine Biologist.  A special thank you to Ms. Tillman for taking the time out of her busy schedule to join us today!

Social Studies: During the last hour of the day the students got into their Colonization Simulation groups and the European groups each formed an alliance with one of the First Nations tribes.  Together in their new groups, they worked together to look at different skills (such as hunting, fishing, sewing etc.) and decide which group would have taught the skill historically.
