Last week, we started discussing how to make our writing more exciting and engaging for the reader. The students decided that using diverse words and exciting words helped make our writing stronger and more interesting. We then did a lesson about adjectives to describe popcorn - words that POP - les mots qui éclatent! From there, the students chose an animal, place or thing and tried to find 10-12 interesting adjectives to describe their object and make their descriptive writing pop!

We've still been discussing the colonisation of Upper Canada in the 1800s (grade 3) and the differences and similarities between children's lives in different countries around the world (grade 2).

In Visual Art, we are doing some mixed media spring art, using paint and tissue paper to create a flower landscape. They are still works in progress, but here's some pictures of the beginning steps.
