This week students are learning about First Nations and Europeans way of life before the signing of treaty. This week students are exploring the lifestyle of the Newcomers and next week we will focus on the lifestyle of the First Nations.
Congratulations Jenna and Jesse!
Big shout-out to Jenna and Jesse who won the circle of courage award for generosity at Wednesdays assembly. These two students always "Wow" those around them with their kindness towards others each and every day! Great job!

Shared Writing
Our class wanted to share their shared writing with you on the blog! Have you ever wondered how to do the "Whip Nae Nae?" Well you're in luck!
How To Do the Whip Nae Nae
By Grade 3/4
Let me explain how to do the whip. First put your hand in a fist and then punch it out quickly in front of you. While you punch, twist your right wrist down and sway your upper body to the left side. Put your left knee up and stomp your left foot on the ground.
Now let me tell you how to do the nae nae. After you do the whip, take your opposite arm and wave it back and forth about three times slowly. Push your chest out and press your other arm out to your side. Take about three small steps with your feet – but don’t go forward or backwards. So put some music on and start dancing!
