Thank you to all the hard work and time spent on developing our own personal Remembrance Day Ceremony! It was a treat to have everyone involved in some way. Thank you for doing the extra work and for your participation in the ceremony itself.
We have been focusing on Indigenous Veterans this last week, to continue to develop that history has multiple perspectives, but that all people have an active part within our democratic society. As a class we have begun to explore how to be active and continue to participate in our levels of government after the act of voting. It has been super exciting to watch and listen to student perspectives and understanding of what equality and equity mean, as well as freedom, justice and representation: especially in light of reading "Iqbal".
This next week, we will begin a mathematical inquiry into what number actually means. The goal of this definitional work and co-construction of understanding is to help make our work within fractions, mixed numbers, factors, percentage, and ratio more meaningful: rather than concepts in isolation. Please check-in with your child as to what they are beginning to connect and appreciate about number.
Thank you for all that you do and for all of your support in your child's learning journey!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Easton
