Today the students began learning about the Blackfoot people in Alberta. We have many artifacts on loan from the Glenbow museum and have been using them to uncover the story of the traditional Blackfoot. Students used their visual journals to sketch and represent their understanding of each of these objects. Students will also explore the importance of oral story telling and the bison to the Blackfoot people.
In math, we continue to use different strategies to solve division problems. Because we are using 3 digit dividends, the ultimate goal is for students to solve division problems using the traditional algorithm. Practicing this at home will support their learning in the classroom.
Question of the day: What tools did the blackfoot people use in their everyday lives? How do they resemble the tools we use today? How are they different?
