December 6th/ 07
In Social Studies we are learning about early Canada as an emerging nation. Ms Sullivan the aboriginal consultant, work shopped with our class on Wednesday afternoon. Through songs and stories, students learned many aspects about First Nations people, such as beliefs, values, and their ways of life. Ms Sullivan will be returning next week with more stories and songs.
Today we were introduced to our Early Canadian Wax Museum project. Tonight, we are to begin researching to find information on an early Canadian of choice that we selected earlier in the day.
In science, last week, we had the great opportunity to have Dr. Booth, a microbiologist from the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg come to the classroom and to present about bacteria(Monera), viruses and disease control. Students even had a chance to try on the protective suits worn at the lab. It was a very educational experience.
This past Tuesday we also had Karen J. Scott PhD Education & Outreach Coordinator for Lake Winnipeg Research Consortium Inc. to come and talk about Lake Winnipeg and how growing Blue-Green Algae blooms are endangering fish stalks. Big thanks to her coming and to Marko for inviting her into the class as a result of his inquiry project. She has also invited our class to partake in scientific research aboard their research vessel the Nanimo this coming spring. More information about this endeavor will be forth coming.
Bibliographies and summaries for our Manitoba Endangered Species presentations are past due. Thank you Mrs Witherdon for the work on the Endangered Species of Manitoba bulletin board. This bulletin board is a must see for parents. Our French cartoons and Tenebrio Molitor Experiment are also due for hand in, complete with a good copy, data chart, and graph(s).
