September 13

This week students worked towards completing their Canada map assignment. The goal of this assignment was to help students build a better understanding and knowledge of the provinces, capitals and geographical features of Canada.
Students also completed a contribution for our class word-wall. For this task, students had to visually represent a key vocabulary term that is displayed in our classroom.
We also worked on a spelling quiz, paragraph editing, writing a paragraph and a reading test this week.

This coming week, we will be starting to learn about the Mikmaq, Anishinabe and Haudenosuanee societies.

Below is a spelling list that students can practice this weekend.
