This interactive show features original songs, traditional stories, and Indigenous instruments, and introduces students to Indigenous and Inuit culture.

Social Studies: We continued to work on our Ontario Landform projects. Students should be working on their posters next week in class.
*** Please feel free to print small photos of their landform region for their poster. If you cannot print the photos at home, please email them to me at lorie.hamilton@ocdsb.ca and I will be happy to print black and white copies for them.
VERY IMPORTANT: Please continue to review concepts about their region with them, especially over March Break as we will begin presentations after the break.
Art: We worked on our "Fox in Winter" art. This art piece allowed us to review concepts of mixing black and white with a primary colour to create tints and shades; we also reviewed light theory. The kids did a wonderful job!
Gym: We played a new game called "Pin Down"
Health: We started our unit on Personal Safety. This week we discussed concussions.
