Today students presented what they had for their oral speech competition. Students were given feedback in their speech packages. Please be sure to send the speech package for each check in, in order to receive feedback. We will continue tomorrow due to time constraints.
Inquiry into Cultures
Students reviewed the story - My First Chinese New Year.
Then they finished their dragons from yesterday
Afterwards we began our new Novel Study
Students completed a pause and predict. They looked at the cover, read the back blurb and the chapter titles. They then wrote a prediction of something they think is happening in the story based off what they viewed. Afterwards students created a new cover for the book.

Fine Art – Cultural Artifacts
In our current unit, we are learning about a range of cultures from around the world. For an in-class artwork assignment we want to use an artifact (from our own cultural background) and use our fine art skills to ‘draw what you can see’.
We kindly ask that your child brings in an artifact from their culture to sketch. This artifact should be able to comfortably fit on your child’s desk.
Artifacts can include but are not limited to the following:
- Mask
- Pottery
- Dolls/Figurines
- Coin
- Religious artifact (eg. icon)
- Jewelry
Please bring your artifact by Tuesday, January 14th.
Artifacts will be returned at the end of this unit in January.
Many thanks,
Ms. Hughes & Ms. Coldwells
