Dear
Grade 6C Parents and Students,
Next
week we will have the privilege of learning from our Artist in Residence and
Blackfoot knowledge keeper Ryan Jason Aleen Willert. He will speak to the 6’s about
the importance of tobacco and the pipe for Blackfoot people, the significance
of the law of the four colours and living like a Buffalo. The students
will learn what living like a Buffalo means; admitting when you have made a
mistake, apologizing, even if it is hard to do, forgiving yourself for your
errors and forgiving others when they have wronged you. As Mr. Willert
moves into painting the mural that will be displayed in the Multi-Purpose Room,
we will be working with him again.
In
preparation for our work with Calgary Rapper Transit22 next week, the students
have been researching the history behind the poppy and why we should remember
the veterans. The research will make up two of the verses in the song we
will start to write next week. Once the
song is complete, we will be recording a music video that will be shared at the
Remembrance Day assembly on November 7th (10:30am to 11:30am).
We
have been looking at how continuous and discrete data can be interpreted
visually using either a bar graph or a broken line graph. The students
learned that by continuing the line in the broken line graph you can predict
future information trends (i.e. what will the weather be next week based on the
trend of this week.)
Have
a great Thanksgiving weekend!
Ms. Blyth
