First Day of School!

We had a great first day in the Art Room!

Grade 5 & 6
- worked on creating a book cover that describes who they are without using words, we are continuing this project next day.

Senior Kindergarten 

"My Bear" - students were introduced to one another by colouring their bears based on questions asked in class and writing their names on them.

Grade 7 Art

Today we went over the course syllabus and discussed the key concept of the unit "identity." Students were then asked to create their first journal entry of the unit by drawing a piece of artwork that creates their name using only objects that define who they are. 

Students are asked to bring the following items over the next several weeks to build up their journal:

-  found objects

- recycled papers (cardstock, wrapping paper etc)

- wrappers

- magazines

- newspapers

- textured materials

- old books

- ads

- stickers etc. 

*All items on the list are considered personal extra. Basic materials and several craft items will be available for students to use in class as well.

Geography (9&10)

In class today we went through the course syllabus, unit title, key concept of "Systems," and the global context of "Scientific and Technical Innovation" and how each are linked to Geography. We also drew a map of Canada from memory and labelled all of the provinces, territories, and capitals.

Homework: Students are asked to bring in physical formats of their chosen map, review their map of Canada, and finish writing definitions (in own words) with examples for tomorrow's class. 

Technology (7&8) and Arts (9&10)

Today we created both the key and related concepts and posted them on the walls of the classroom (pictures coming soon).

*The grade 9 & 10 art class students are reminded to bring a photo of their favourite person (family member, celebrity, fictional character etc.) next day on a 8.5x11 sheet of paper.
