This week we began our new unit as we inquire into 'Sharing The Planet' 

Sharing the Planet
An inquiry into rights and responsibilities in the struggle to share finite resources with other people and with other living things; communities and the relationships within and between them; access to equal opportunities; peace and conflict resolution.

Humans live in a web of interdependence where understanding oneself and others is essential for peaceful resolution to conflict.

Perspective - What are the points of view?
Responsibility - What is our responsibility?

This week we dug into our new unit by thinking about the 'shades of meaning' for peace and conflict.  We discussed how they come in a variety of forms and in different places.  We used our knowledge of poetry to express our different ideas about peace and conflict.  

We had lots of excitement this week with guest readers from Grade 7 who read their own fairy tales to us.  And most exciting of all was the Makers Faire!!!  We had so much fun learning from the middle and high school students and we got to create many things of our own!  

In Math we were also creating.  We used strips of paper to measure our fractions and create our own mix of equivalent fraction equations - there are so many combinations to make up one whole!!

Happy Friday!!!
