Hi Families,
This week, a lot of our time was spent looking at Remembrance Day, developing our understanding of why it's important to remember, and making connections to our ongoing work on Rights and Responsibilities.
By identifying when, and how long ago, both wars were, students made the connection that it is important to remember because many soldiers and their families are no longer living.
Our writing prompt was based on a simplified interpretation of some of the articles from the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
As the focus of this activity was on making higher-level connections between concepts, you will see scribed writing on each page capturing what each child shared through speaking.
In other learning, we managed to wrap up our 5 Senses collages! You can view your child's end result in Google Classroom, under the topic "Artifacts of Student Learning", within the material with your child's name. Each student also has a copy in the sketchbook as a memory of their learning - they are loving looking at them and sharing with their peers.
