Les Vetements

French: I can learn vocabulary relating to clothing; I can speak in French with increasingly accurate pronunciation. 

We are practicing clothing vocabulary in French in preparation for the Fashion Show (for more information, see our previous post - click here).  

Today, Ms Elder put us into partners. We sorted these vocabulary words into two piles: colours and clothing words. Then, we drew a person in our journals. We took turns pulling out two slips. Then, we drew the clothing that we picked on to our person and coloured it. We then had to label 5 items and their colours to practice for the fashion show.

"I liked being able to pick a random clothing and item and colour and see what it looks like at the end."~ Callie
"I liked how we could see other people's creations and let them see ours so we can figure out their French words." ~ Dillon
"I liked this activity because it wasn't just a worksheet. It was an activity that was fun." ~ Sadie
"I liked this because it was very random. You could get boots and swim trunks." ~ Lawrence
"The other funny thing was that you could get some weird thing and you could decide that your partner could go. I learned in this activity some new colours and we also got to learn more different types of clothes. We also had to cooperate." ~ Iggy
"I liked it because it was funny. You could put lots of clothing on top of another." ~ Lillian
"I agree with Lillian. It was very funny." ~ Seb C
"I liked it because it was very funny." ~ Suzi

Summer Solstice

  SS: I can appreciate oral stories and how they teach us about Indigenous People and life lessons Art: I can experiment with different media Oki ! Happy Summer Solstice and National Indigenous Peoples Day! We learned about local Indigenous cultures and their Summer Solstice celebrations today in a few ways.  We started our day by learning about Natoosi (the sun, in Blackfoot) from Elder Saa'kokoto online. We listened to the Chickadee Story from Chantelle (Metis) online and participated in the Summer Solstice song gifted to the CBE by the Metis people.  We also worked on learning how to braid (either a basic 3-strand braid or an advanced 6-strand braid). This relates to the documentary we watched a few months ago called, Braves Wear Braids (click here, if you'd like to watch it at home) .  Yesterday, we also watched a clip from a documentary by Ryan Heavy Head (a knowledge keeper from Lethbridge). This was teaching us about animal behaviour during the Flower Moon phase. We he

Ralph Klein Park Field Trip Recount

  We had a fabulous day yesterday at Ralph Klein Park. The weather was outstanding and the surroundings were beautiful. We had top-notch programming led by Chelsea from the City of Calgary. Here are some highlights of our learning and photos of the day. In the morning, Chelsea asked us to tell her what a wetland is, what the parts of a wetland are (there are submerged plants, emerged plants and floating plants), and which different wetlands are found in Alberta (marsh, swamp, fen, bog). Some of this was review of what we learned in the fall and some was new information. Then, we played a game where we had wetland creatures taped to our backs and we had to ask Yes-No questions to figure out who we were.  That led us to talking about specific wetland invertebrates and their interesting adaptations. We played a simile game where we had items in a bag that were like a creature. We had to figure out what each item represented and share that with the class.  A box of wood chips and leaves i
