In Language Arts today, we started to look at poetry. Today students were allowed to use any poetic form that they know or remember from previous years to write a poem about a National Park or National Historic Site of Canada. To begin, we looked at images of Georgian Bay National Park and brainstormed descriptive and feeling words together. Then we read a poem written by a Grade 5 student, Carmel, about the Canadian Shield. Students were then able to write their own poem about the Canadian Shield or to explore another National Park or Historic Site from the other regions of Canada. Students could use any poetic form they wanted. Stay tuned for more poetry!

Our Great Lakes/St. Lawrence Lowlands group did an amazing job presenting on their region today! They included a lot of details about natural resources found in their region. They also met someone pretty famous on their trip... Justin Trudeau! Check it out below: ​
