Ms Marsh's Grade 8 ELA/SS class. Though we're all different, we find ways to come together. Building an amazing community. We're welcoming & open to new ideas.
Students are really getting into The Bridge Home by @padmatv! Only planned on reading 1st four chaps today. Neither class wanted me to stop. Read all 7 chaps for Week1 today. Lots of great discussions. Tomorrow we start connecting with others! #GRA19#GRABridge#sd40learns
Today students had the opportunity to reflect on Phyllis’ Story and those of other Residential School Survivors we wrote our personal reflections on #OrangeShirtDay. So many thoughtful responses. Walk in support of #EveryChildMatters#sd40learns#bcedchat
After our start with Wali Shah on Wednesday, we had another awesome guest speaker, @JanetRWees! She joined our class, @FRMS305, and spoke about the Holocaust, her book When We Were Shadows, and the writing process. Such an awesome day. #sd40learns#bcedchat
Days late...Wednesday was an awesome day for @FRMS305 Ss. The day kicked off with a school wide assembly, put on by student council, for Love 4 Self & Others. Best part...guest speaker ”It all starts with loving yourself.” - @LifeAsWali! #sd40learns#bcedchat
Today we had a visit from Rene Turmel, The Maple Man. Students loved it, especially learning to play the spoons and eating maple taffy from a bed of “snow.” I really want to go back to the sugar shack. #sd40learns#bcedchat#CanadianRoots#nothingbetterthanmaplesyrup
What are some sentences you would write with these randomly created & selected examples of nouns, pronouns, verbs, and adjectives? Definitely a good learning experience with editing. And definitely a good laugh. #FRMS305#sd40learns#engchat#grammar
A2. We think H knows about the boats. Josef's family was going to meet his dad, who was let out of a concentration camp. He didn't escape, so H must've approved it. He'd be happy the Jewish people are gone, he doesn't like them. - Div 3 #GRARefugee3
A3. It seems like they won't. The smugglers aren't honest people, so you can't expect them to keep their promise of tomorrow. Maybe they'll get on a boat in a few months, but not right away. - Div 1 #GRARefugee3
Eeek...we didn't include @MehargsVikings in the original tweet. Sorry @MehargsVikings. We were super excited to receive our postcard. #GRAPostcards#GRARefugee
Just a sample of the things that stood out to us while listening to Refugee by @AlanGratz on @EpicKidsBooks . - Div 1, 2, &, 3. #GRARefugee1#GRARefugee
@pisanosms A3. Cash if we had it. Passports & ID. Phones. Food. Water. First Aid Kit. Jacket. Photos/items that hold memories. Animals/pets. #grarefugee1 -Div 3
