February 22nd to 26th

 History:

This week we are continuing to review key groups of people and events before 1713. We will do a video analysis of some Heritage Moment videos to identify the importance of certain people and events and the role they played in the development of Canada. Students will then read about all of the different groups of people that lived in New-France before 1713.

Religion:

This week, we return to our study of the Ten Commandments. After doing an introductory activity, students are creating a comic strip in which they will present an example of someone who follows a commandment of their choice and someone who doesn't. They will present their work next week. This is an evaluated task.

Art:

Students have one more work period for their portfolio assignment. During the second class of the week, they will present their work.

February 8th to 12th

 History:

This week, we begin History. To begin, students will reflect on what History means to them. They will then prepare a Coat of Arms that represents their own history and present it to the class.

From there, we will begin to explore important events and groups of people leading up to 1713 in British North America, where our curriculum begins.

Religion:

We begin a new unit on The Ten Commandments. This week students will reflect on the idea of respect, as an introduction before jumping in to explore the Ten Commandments and what they mean.

Visual Arts:

We begin Visual Arts this week. Students have been asked to have a pencil, eraser, and pencil crayons for the course. We will begin with an introduction to visual arts before students begin their first project. Their first project will be to present the idea of unity and harmony while creating a portfolio cover.
