Tomorrow is our PISE sports field Trip
BRING PROPER SHOES PLEASE
We
began the day with a review of how to enter the school and lining up
etc... you know the Blah Blah Blah that only the students who pay
attention understand and listen to... but Hey... the Blah Blah Blah at
least entertains me.
After
that we talked again about the importance of the Cedar to the West
Coast First Nations and looked at how the sacred tree provided about 90
percent of the basic needs of the Coastal First nations. It was a
source of tools, protection, heat, transportation, shelter, all
household items, ceremonial things like masks and drums and many other
items. In fact, in a couple of pictures of villages and inside long
houses we only found 5 or 6 things, out of hundreds, that were not
somehow connected to the Cedar tree. (We talked about how the Seal and
the Buffalo filled the same things for the Inuit and Plains peoples)
After
recess we worked on finishing a writing assignment from yesterday and
then broke into groups to have a debate. There were 4 teams with 4 on
each team. The two debate topics were 'Should we have gotten rid of
the penny' and 'Is it better today or in the past.' We have not had a
debate in a long time so the students were rusty, however, students who
usually do not shine are very happy to stand in front to the class and
argue and debate.
After
lunch we went to the computer lab to work with Microsoft Word to make a
poster before heading off to Music. After music we went to P.E. with
Mrs. Carlton's class.
See you all tomorrow. And please remember to bring proper foot wear for a sports day.
