We had a wonderful end to our school year. Here is what we were up to:
Hamper
Our classroom showed incredible generosity and delivered a
giant hamper to our family. Thank you to
everyone. We were able to bring great
joy to a family in need.
Musical Endeavor
Students used their holiday spirit to bring joy to the
classrooms around Van Walleghem. Through
a student driven initiative, students toured the school with their band
instruments playing holiday tunes. Well
done spreading joy 6M!
ELA
We have completed reading the Hatchet. Students sat on the edge of their seats
throughout the riveting final chapters.
It was a wonderful journey together.
French
We have paired with a school from France as pen pals. Students wrote introduction letters in both
French and English. Those letters were
sent to France before the end of the holidays.
Once they are received, students will be matched with a buddy and we will
receive a letter response. The Pen-pal
initiative will continue throughout the year.
It takes several weeks for the letters to travel from France and
back. Likely we will receive our
responses early February.
Science
Invent an extra-terrestrial.
Students researched and applied their knowledge of the planets in order
to build an alien that had adaptations allowing it to survive on their
planet. In 6M, we didn’t just imagine
our alien, we build it! Ask you son or
daughter about their alien.
Social Studies
The Prime Minister class-rap pieces are all gathered we
simply need to piece them together.
Editing and assembling will happen in the New Year.
