What did we do today?
- In math, we were allowed to work on our shape artwork before building our city and food trucks.
- In gym, we had four choices outside. We could play kickball, four square, basketball and soccer.
- After recess, the grade 1/2s had an assembly. It was about Canada's 150th birthday and what they needed to have a party for it. They collected games and food from Iqualiut, music and dancing and lobster from the east coast, maple syrup from Quebec and ingredients to make a cake from the prairies.
- After lunch, for Daily 5, we had time to catch up on our work in science and art. We also could work on our word work, work on writing or guided reading.
- At the end of the day in social studies, Ms. Cowdy talked about the effects the three treaties had on the First Nations people. She talked about how children were taken to residential schools and they had to live in a way that was not of their traditional ways.
Questions:
1. What other names did the settlers call First Nations? Would they have liked it if they had to live under the treaty laws the First Nations did?
2. When did the kids from residential schools get to see their parents?
3. If we had the same celebration they had for Canada's 150th birthday as the assembly, what would it be like?
4. What would Canada be like if the settlers never came to Canada?
