Bullying - Le taxage et l'indimidation

It is Bully-Awareness week at St Emily!

There is a school-wide poster/video contest for students 

and there will be bully-prevention presentations.

First block today we "stopped-and-talked" about bullying. We watched some videos and discussed afterwards. We will continue to watch a video a day this week from  Learn360. I gave students their passwords (check in your "les devoirs" duo tang).

Jour de souvenir

For Remembrance Day, I am sharing with you photos from my summer trip to Normandy.

An Interactive Graphic Novel for the iPad

Bring history to life with The Loxleys and the War of 1812, an immersive interactive graphic novel that follows a fictional family from Upper Canada torn apart by the conflict with the US some 200 years ago.

Based on the book from Renegade Arts Entertainment and re-imagined for the iPad by the National Film Board of Canada, this immersive interactive graphic novel brings history to life.

Les couleurs de bases

In the month of September, we have been reviewing the visual art element of colour.

We began with an inquiry about how we can organize colours, based on our prior knowledge.

Here is what students discovered and collaborated in their groups.

We consolidated our learning by making colour wheels. 

This, we agreed, is the best way to organize colours!

Place Value Flip Chart

Last week, we consolidated our learning on the concept of Place Value by creating these flip charts.
