Today we started unit 8: Arrival to Canada. We went back to unit 5 - The Triumph of Steam, to determine why Canada was ripe for people to come to; you discussed why different groups of people would choose to move:
• Business Owners
• Children
• Farmers
• Religious leaders
• Factory workers
• Merchants
Look at the story about Gabriel and the Red Cow; focus on the map
• What do you know about the map?
• Go back and find those relevant sections on geography that will help you interpret the map in the intro.
As you look through the text features and begin to skim the chapter, think of all the strategies we have work on that will halp you deepen your understanding.
• What questions do you have?
Thinking of all of you-
Hello All You Hum 9er’s!
The last official day of classes has come and gone and I already feel a void in my heart. I have had a great year teaching you and more importantly- learning from all of you. You all have taught me so much about yourselves as learners and what I can do as an educator, to better assist you in your learning journey.We have learned a lot about specific information in social studies, and how to write and read better in English, yet for me, this year was also about understanding and honouring who we all are as learners and how to advocate for ourselves. In reflection, I know that each of you have come far in both your personal and educational journey and I thank each one of you for allowing me to come along with you.
When you return next year, please do come find me and say hello, as I will miss you and how lovely it will be to hear from you.
I wish you all a summer filled with joy, happiness and most of all FUN!. Hopefully you'll pick up a something to read along the way and when you do, I hope you will stop and think of all the reading strategies you have learned and put them to use. I also hope that you continue to advocate for yourself and most importantly- Believe in yourself; I know I believe in each and every one of you. You are all capable of greatness. Be the change you want to see in the world (Mahatma Gandhi).
My best to you-
Most sincerely,
Ms. Minuk
