 Today we:

-Continued our social studies research project on the provinces and territories on the Chromebooks. Ask me about which province or territory I am researching and some interesting facts I have learned about it!

-Started reading our next class novel "Thirst" which takes place in Mumbai, India. We analyzed photos of Mumbai as a group and collected our observations and inferences onto chart paper. We discussed as a class how the photos show income disparities between different neighborhoods in Mumbai. We used Google Maps to look at Calgary and were able to see income disparities between neighbourhoods in our city, although the differences were less than what was seen in the Mumbai photos.

Reminders:

-Wednesday is picture day and we will also be going on a walking field trip to the Country Hills Storm Pond. Please make sure your child is dressed for the weather.
