Cultural Appreciation WEEK

This week is Cultural Appreciation WEEK!

We started the monring with celebrating WHERE our families are from 

by putting a PIN on the map!

We took a gallery walk and learned how you say WELCOME in different languages!

We read the book, More than Peach and we had a thoughtful discussion to WHY this book is important and WHEN Crayola added Multicultural Colours and Colours of the World.

We learned that it wasn't until 2020, that Crayola launched Colours of the World for child to colourfully express themselves with over 40 global skin tones.

Studnets completed cultural presentations at HOME and shared with the class!

In Math, we are learning about transformations. 

Students are learning to translate, rotate and reflect shapes.

Studnets understood the vocabulary, but had a difficult time with the application. Students had to build a pentomino rectangle using translation, rotation and reflection and then had to verbally support their peers with the appropraite vocabulary.

Next week we will...

... show a personal understanding of Plant Growth and Changes

... begin their Homestead project (each student NEEDS a shoebox)

... re-visit increasing and decreasing patterns

- begin exploring with lights and shadows
