I can include sensory language to enhance ideas in creative writing.

I can use organizational tools to record or categorize information.

In Social Studies;

I can understand how communities are strengthened by their stories, traditions, and history.

I can identify the individuals or groups that contributed to the development of my community.

I can recognize that indigenous veterans helped protect Canada.

I can explain why it is important to remember and honour Indigenous veterans on Remembrance Day.

I can share how Indigenous veterans made a difference in our history and community.

In art:

I can create a piece of art that uses symbols, like poppies or wreaths, to show respect for remembrance day.

I can use colours and shapes in my artwork to show my ideas about peace and kindness.

I can explain my artwork and how it shows my feelings about Remembrance Day.

Personal Development:

I can reflect on what peace means to me and why it is important in our community.

I can think about to show respect and gratitude to people who help keep us safe.

I can take a moment of silence to show respect for those who have served Canada.

We look forward to seeing you all on Thursday November 14th!
