Math
Students continued to learn about double digit subtraction using a place value mat

Inquiry into Language 
Students review the concept of compound works with a hands on matching activity 



Inquiry into Cultures through Art
Students learned about the Canadian artist Ted Harrison and his works of art that were inspired by aboriginal peoples and the Yukon. Students spent the day re-creating one of his works of art.


They learned a technique called crayon resist. Students were given 3 steps to complete their art piece.

1. sketch with pencil
2. go over the pencil outline with crayon pressing very hard but not colouring in
3. paint over their entire picture using water colours.

We looked at the warm and cool as well as bright colours Ted. Harrison uses in his paintings. Students were told they do not need to copy the colours but stay within his colour pallet. They are not complete yet but here is our pieces so far.











Tomorrow we will be adding the Inukshuk!

We learned the Inukshuk is:
The mysterious stone figures known as
inuksuit can be found throughout
Northern Canada. Inukshuk, the singular
of inuksuit, means "in the likeness of a
human" in the Inuit language. They are
monuments made of stones that are used
by the Inuit for communication and
survival. The traditional meaning of the
inukshuk is "Someone was here" or "You
are on the right path.“
The Inuit make inuksuit in different forms
for a variety of purposes: as navigation
or directional aids, to mark a place of
respect or memorial for a beloved
person, or to indicate migration routes or

places where fish can be found.
