This week at school we had the grade 7/8 students come to our class to share their science experiments with us.
And here are a few students playing soccer during their outdoor time.


See you all in a few weeks 😋

The grade 5/6 students have been particularly sick this year apparently, because we are all out of Kleenex. I know you all brought Kleenex at the start of the year, but if you don’t mind bringing 1 more box, we’d all appreciate it. Thanks so much!

The grade 5/6 students have an optional assignment that they will be given no class time to work on. If they choose, they can build a home or community from the late 1800’s to early 1900’s. They can create this using Minecraft, Roblox, The Sims or can create a diorama. When students have completed creating their home/community, they are asked to send pictures of the home/community to me at jwhitney@bsls.ca. Dioramas can be brought to school. This is due March 16th. 

They are currently learning about the lives of early Manitobans. We have read about and discussed the challenges of homesteaders (farming, drought, discrimination), and the workload for children at home and school. 

Here are the grade 5-8 students exploring artifacts that voyageurs used during the fur trade.
