May 13th-21st

Hi everyone,

We had a really great week this week in grade 4. On Wednesday we had 3 visitors come to talk about icons from their time. The students came up with interview questions to ask them and the visitors from the university had materials to show the kids. It was a very interesting morning and they asked some amazing questions. I was very proud of them.

In preparation for literacy week the students helped to create the reading trees and displays for each floor for next week. They did a great job.

We went to the park for some creative writing/ drawing and reading and got inspired by our surroundings with the grade 5 class.

We spent some time learning about characteristics of negative icons, specifically Hitler and his influence on Germany and the world but also we analyzed the characters from the book Wonder.

Interview with people from the university. We asked them about historic icons from their past. The students came up with their own questions based on our central ideas and lines of inquiry
