Orange Shirt Day on October 1st was a very emotional and impactful day in Room 20. We read the book
When I was Eight by Christy Jordan-Fenton and Margaret Pokiak-Fenton which describes some of the harrowing stories experienced by some of Canada's Aboriginal peoples. Students then reflected on this story asking what we can learn about residential schools from Olemaun's story and how it made us feel.
Our Writer's Checklist was re-introduced this week and we have been challenged to make sure that every piece of writing we complete meets these criteria before we show it to Mrs. Storrier or a peer. We have also started to make lists of 'Juicy Words' that we know so that our writing can be more interesting to read and write! So many amazing words in english language!
In numeracy we have continued to use our Talk Moves to share our thinking. Students worked to represent decimals in many ways and we can now show them as a fraction, base ten blocks, words, money and expanded form.
