Happy Monday!
We started our day with our Reading Buddies from grade 1 / 2. The advantages of a buddy reading program for younger students include them feeling safe and happy, as well as demonstrating improved engagement in reading. For older buddies, it can help them develop improved self-esteem, confidence reading and increased cognitive awareness.
In the afternoon, students started planning for our animation residency project. Students have completed their research on Canadian immigration, and they will be working in their small groups to present an immigration story. Their story will share information, values and attitudes about history, culture and heritage of a specific immigrant group. The objective of our project is for students to demonstrate an understanding of the people and the stories of Canada and their ways of live over time, and appreciate the diversity of Canada’s heritage. Students began the next phase of their project by brainstorming possible story scripts and key points.
