Ms.+Miller+2010-2011

Welcome to our grade 5 -7 8 classroom. We spend the afternoon in Ms. Miller's class working on literacy activities that include the Daily Five as well as reading and writing activities in the content area.We read a variety of Fiction and Non Fiction literature Novels this year have included Code Talker, Peak, Julie and the Wolves, Young Man and The Sea, Mapping the Earth and Whispers of War. We enjoy reading the wide variety of novels available to us in the classroom as well as books that we have borrowed from the library. Next year we are hoping to provide the class with electronic readers so that we can significantly extend the library at our finger tips.

We are currently working through the Student Vote Process for the Federal Election. The student vote program allows students the opportunity to participate in the democratic process and to practice being informed citizens who are engaged in the election and the platforms of the politicians. We read biographies of the politicians and followed them through the CBC on a regular basis. We voted on Friday, April 29th and submitted our ballet count to the Student Vote organization to be included in the provincial count. We are becoming independent learners who continue to grow as young adults and responsible citizens in our community. media type="custom" key="9270176"media type="custom" key="9270844"
