Charter of Rights and Freedom Quiz

Students will have a quiz on Monday, November 26. We have spent the last few weeks talking about the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and students have completed their projects. Monday's quiz will cover the following:
-The 4 Fundamental Freedoms
-Democratic Rights (Who is eligible to vote in Canada)
-Legal Rights (Life, Liberty and Security of the Person, Search and Arrest)
-Equality Rights (Everyone is equal before and under the law, Equality vs. Equity)
-Official Language Rights (What are Canada's official languages and what rights do these languages have?)

Last week, all students were provided with their own copy of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms for their reference.

No School Thursday and Friday

Just a reminder that there is no school on Thursday or Friday of this week. If parents require assistance accessing PowerSchool they can come by the school between 12:00-7:00pm to get help.

Parent Letter Sent Home

Yesterday all students were sent home with a letter for parents. The letter is asking for updated email addresses for PowerSchool. Your email address is required to be put into the PowerSchool system in order to book Student Parent Teacher Conferences which will be held on December 6. Parents are required to book these conferences online and your email address must match the email address that the school has in our system.

If you require assistance with this the school is offering support on Thursday, November 22 from 12:00pm to 7:00pm. Come in to the school and go to the office and someone will be there to help you get your account up and running!

November 5-9

This week we concluded our learning about the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Students had many questions and we had many great class discussions surrounding the sections of the Charter.

Next week we will begin on our Charter of Rights and Freedoms projects. Students will be asked to create a project on one section of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

We have also started a new class book this week. Students voted for A Series of Unfortunate Events: A Bad Beginning. As we read the book students will be given small tasks to check for understanding and listening skills.

Literacy Centre's and the Charter

Yesterday we had our first go around with literacy centre's. All students did great and were participating and engaged in their assigned centre's. We only had time to do one centre yesterday, we are hoping in the future that students will be able to complete 2-3 centre's each time. Moving forward we will complete literacy centre's every Wednesday.

We also started completing posters yesterday for the four freedoms we have covered so far. Students chose a partner to work with and have been given a poster to create. The four freedoms are: freedom of religion, freedom of expression, freedom of peaceful assembly and freedom of association. Students must define their freedom and draw five related pictures about their freedom. The posters are looking great so far!
