Terrific Timelines

Sometimes when we look at many different historic events, they can get jumbled. One of the best ways for students to make sense and have a better understanding of what happened, why, and how it has impacted us, is to create a timeline. Ms. Colwell’s grade 3 class spent time putting together a timeline connected to Alberta. The timeline included history, geographic regions, first nations, settlers, economies, traditions and natural resources.

Visuals are a strong way to generate understanding in young students. Creating visuals in sequence often enables students to generate even a deeper understanding of context.

Cultural Night Change

Our Cultural Night that was scheduled for Thursday, May 21st has been canceled. There were not enough participation interest from our Hawkwood School Families to make the event viable.

Our planning committee is currently looking at ways the event can be “re-tooled” and hosted in the Fall of next school year. As the level of diversity in our school community continues to increase, we are determined to find new and different ways of celebrating it as a strength. 

Have a great week!
