In mathematics, students shared their inventive strategies for multiplication of two digits by one digit. "Math talks" were an important part of our weekly math classes. In humanities we have continued our study of indigenous culture. Students in 4.1 and 4.2... Students in 4.3 and 4.4 completed and shared their oral stories, based on the lessons we can learn from the history of indigenous peoples in Alberta. This was a large part of our EXPO week, and the students enjoyed sharing their stories with the grade 8's at the Weaselhead on Wednesday afternoon. The activities on the final day of EXPO week allowed students with an authentic view of today's indigenous culture in Alberta.
