Today we had our last Forbidden City word list and we got started on our novel approach book clubs. For the next few weeks students will be using their reading strategies and thinking strategies in groups to write a powerful response on the big idea of the a story. Between recess and lunchStudents completed the comprehension quiz on the plot of Forbidden City and then continued working with ratios in math. In the afternoon students were introduced to the forbidden city mapping project. Students used technology to find specific locations in Beijing that correlate to the main characters escape rout from the city. We finished off the day working on our second round dramatic presentations.

 CnToday, students returned after our first official 'SNOW DAY' in over 12 years.  It is not typical for schools in Vancouver to be closed due to snow fall.  This unique weather allowed us to use the snow to learn about Indigenous cultures and traditions.  We learned about indigenous peoples' traditions today and learned how they are able to create igloos using only basic tools.  We learned how difficult and challenging this can be without practice.
