  One of our students brought in a lovely book about Ruby Bridges, to help us extend our learning with regards to Black History Month. The students were wonderfully attentive and engaged when we discussed the importance of recognizing Black History Month.  It has opened a lot of doors for further exploration and conversation regarding our past and the importance of showing acceptance, tolerance, kindness and appreciation for all. Last week we completed our learning task as it relates to writing our autobiography. We have now directed our focus towards writing a biography. As a class we learned about Ruby Bridges and together learned the first steps required to gather information and organizing it into a proper sequence required for a biography.   Today we learned about Viola Desmond and why she has earned her place on our Canadian 10 dollar bill. For the rest of the week, we will continue to research other significant and impactful men and women who deserve to be honoured...

  "We have been learning about how the Ozobots work and the coding. Coding means you are giving it commands by drawing some colours on a line. The codes give commands like go really fast, spin or zig zag. We were learning about Fairy Tales and what makes and then we had to recreate and write a fairy tale in our own words.  Then we made a storyboard and then we drew a map with codes and the setting and characters. The coding was a bit tricky because for some of them I could not get it correct. The ozobot became a character in my story. It was the Little Red Riding-hood and I made the Ozobot go nitro boost when it went through  the forest and a 30 second stop when it got near the wolf. " Grade 3 Student Room 8
