Good Evening Everyone!

To was a wonderful day!

UOI: We tried watching a short clip on Canada today. It was not loading properly so please see the link before so your children can watch it at home. After the malfunction we discussed different symbols that we see in Canada. The students made create predictions and were able to express why they thought these symbols represented Canada.

Title pages for our UOI, are due tomorrow! We would also like to  fill our UOI board with post cards from different provinces and territories in Canada. Students are encouraged to ask friends and/or family that live in another province or territory to send them a post card to add to our UOI board. We would love to add some to our board!
