Inquiry Time

As some of you may know, Division 2 students have begun an inquiry on topics around the theme of "Refugees."  Some students have chosen to research ISIS, some Syria, some women's rights, and numerous other interesting and exciting questions.   As much of this research is internet based, we have been working with SetBC on a project to explore Google Chrome Extensions and Apps.  Part of this project qualified our class to use 7 brand new laptops!  Plus, we have learned about some cool programs that really help kids in their online research.  We encourage you to download them and see:

Scribe

Please ask your child about their inquiry question.

The following is a photo of our homework board for the week.  Grade 7s have a math test on Tuesday.  We are also skating Tuesday afternoon.  Just a reminder that there is a Professional Day on Friday where the teachers will be learning about the new curriculum.  

The following week, Division 2 will be heading over to the Terry Salman branch of the library to continue our inquiry project.  All students should have their library cards with them.  The Friday before the break, the Grade 7s have their 2nd Ancient Worlds Inquiry due as well.  

Have a great week!
