A big THANK YOU for everyone who was able to come by for Student Led Conferences on Wednesday and Thursday. It was a really great opportunity for our students to show off everything that they have worked so hard on this term. I hope you were as impressed as Mrs. Anderson and I are by their work. In case you missed it during Student Led Conferences, I wanted to share with you some photos of the latest project students completed in Social Studies. Last term, students learned how to research and take notes and learned all about a specific Aboriginal culture in Canada. This term, students started the term by learning about a different Aboriginal group than they originally did their project on, then researched all about a different Aboriginal group from a different location around the world. Finally, students had to compare and contrast the two different Aboriginal groups using a Venn Diagram. I was VERY impressed by the level of thoughtfulness and thoroughness demonstrated by many of the students during this project. They were very excited when they found out two groups that lived so far away from each other, could have some things in common. They were equally fascinated by some of the cultural differences they found. Did you know that the Qucheua people from South America traditionally eat guinea pigs?!?!? Good thing Mikey and Boomer don't live there! As always, feel free to come by Division 14 to see what's happening.
