(gr 3 - up to 10 x10 and gr 4 - up to 12 x 12). In inquiry we continued on with exploring simple machines, In social studies, we are learning began our independent research project.

During our learning this week our theme was kindness, respect, friendship and anti-bulying. We did many activities that ranged from drawing a buffalo as a symbol of respect. We focused on positive quotations and how we understand them and connect them to our own lives. We wrote a letter to a bully or a victim of a bully as we learned about how Pink Shirt Day came to be. We learned the story and then put ourselves in the "victim's" shoes and wrote a letter to express our thoughts. We also had a virtual author's visit from Monique Gray Smith, an indigenous author who wrote My Heart Fills with Happiness, You Hold Me Up and When We are Kind!
