Jour 5

Our next ski trip is on Thursday, January 22nd at 12:45.  It would be helpful to have an extra adult come along so if you are available and would like to come out, please let me know by email. 

Our class is participating in a Mini Language Program through the Saskatchewan Organization for Heritage Languages.  We will be learning Igbo (spoken in Eastern Nigeria) throughout 8 lessons.  We had our first lesson this week during which we learned a bit about certain Nigerian traditions and a few greetings/phrases in Igbo (pronounced Eboe).  These lessons align with various Social Studies outcomes for Grade 6.
