In humanities, students started working on their country research project. Earlier in the week, an email was sent to all grade four parents explaining about the artifact portion of this assignment. A copy of the letter can also be found on the home page of our grade four blog. After picking their country last week, students started researching their chosen country by looking for answers to three different types of questions: Inch questions - questions that can be found immediately with a Google search. Ex. What is the population of China? Foot questions - questions that involve gathering information and creating a summary to answer the question. Ex. What is England's national sport, and how is it played? Yard questions - a question that involves looking at multiple resources to come up with your own answer or opinion. Ex. How is your country different from Canada? Next week they will be taking their research and turning it into a trifold/poster presentation for our Multicultural Festival on Friday, June 21st. If students are purchasing a trifold, they should bring it to class on Monday (poster paper will be available for students who are not bringing in a trifold). On June 21st, all grade four students will be involved in our Multicultural Festival where they will showcase their country and also tour through the other classrooms. We had a great day of fun and learning at Heritage Park on Wednesday. Heritage Park’s exhibits span the early 1860s fur trade to the petroleum and automobile-dominated 1950s. Student groups worked through scavenger hunt questions focusing on all curricular areas namely humanities, math and science. They did a great job on these challenges along with learning a lot about Alberta’s past. A big thank-you to all our parent volunteers who made the day such a success!
Have a happy Father’s Day weekend! —Ms. Jagger
