Our Learning Quest this week!
This is our roadmap for this week:
Ask your child what they were able to complete today!
If you your child was away, please find the details about our weekly tasks here (Note: we haven't started all tasks in this link, yet).
Calvin's Thought of the Week:
“You are your own little light, shine bright
so everyone can see.”
Orange Shirt Day
Orange Shirt Day is a legacy of the St. Joseph Mission (SJM) residential school commemoration event held in Williams Lake, BC, Canada, in May 2013. It grew out of Phyllis' story of having her shiny new orange shirt taken away on her first day of school at the Mission, and it has become an opportunity to keep the discussion on all aspects of residential schools happening annually.
The date was chosen because it is the time of year in which children were taken from their homes to residential schools, and because it is an opportunity to set the stage for anti-racism and anti-bullying policies for the coming school year. It also gives teachers time to plan events that will include children, as we want to ensure that we are passing the story and learning on to the next generations.

Science | What is an engineer?
Today we discussed about engineers and what they do. An engineer is a person who designs and builds complex products, machines, systems, or structures. Engineers want to know how and why things work. A engineer try to solve four questions:
1. What is the problem that needs to be solved?
2. Who has the problem that needs to be solved?
3. Why is this problem important to solve?
4. How can this problem be solved?
During the next few weeks, we will be developing hypothesis and experiments to learn more about different materials and building process. We really appreciate if you can save bottle caps, paper towels rolls, pipe-cleaners, strings, straws and other recycled materials that we can use to build different sorts of things in classroom.
