Discovering the New Curriculum

Teachers across the district met on Friday to review the new curriculum.  Here at Wolfe, after a brief introduction from Ms. Cameron, Ms. Bonnis, Ms. Jamal, and Ms. Nichols, we met in grade groups to review and discuss them.  We are happy to report that the Gr. 6/7 team is very excited about the new curriculum.  In our class, we have already started the transition in both Language Arts and Social Studies 7.  We are excited to start planning more subjects during the next session.  Overall, it was a great start and a productive day!

We encourage you to take a look at the latest version of the new curriculum:

This week, students continue to pursue their Inquiries in both Social Studies 7 and in Language Arts.  Students are becoming quite proficient with Google Chrome Apps & Extensions, bibme.org, as well as numerous online databases offered to VSB and VPL library users.  We will also be going to the Terry Salman branch to pick up books requested online for additional research.

Attached is a photo of our upcoming assignments:

Have a great week!
