This week we had the amazing opportunity to visit the Royal Ontario Museum. From the bus trip through Toronto, to the mummies, to the vending machines, there was something exciting for everyone. I was so proud of each and every one of you on the trip and when we have an awesome experience like that, it’s good to reflect on it. For your blog post this week I want you to write 1-2 descriptive paragraphs that answer the following 2 prompts:

What you enjoyed most about the trip (be descriptive)
Something you learned while on the trip (again, be descriptive)

Looking forward to your reflections.

Dear 100 Year Old Me

2/8/2023

On Monday, we will be celebrating our 100th day of school this year … 100 days! This year has flown by, and as I get older, the years seem to start going faster. As I think back and remember my own grade 5 class (Ms. Olejans was my teacher), it feels so recent. As we think about the number 100 and 100’s day, I want you to think about what the world will look like when you’re 100; so 90ish years from now. But don’t just think about the world, think about you: what will you have accomplished, what do you want to remember, what would you say to your 100 year old self.
For your blog this week, write a letter to your 100 year old self. In this letter, you can talk about things you hope you accomplished, things you want them to remember from this year, and hopes for the world. This is your letter to you in the future, I can’t wait to read them!

Commercials That Inspire

2/2/2023

This week in class we’ve been looking at different commercials and why they’re effective, what they’re selling and how they’re using their commercials to sell a product. Watch the Dove- True Beauty Sketches Ad. While you’re watching it, think about other commercials or ads that you’ve seen that promote positivity, that empower a group, that send out a positive message. For your blog post this week, I’d like you to find a commercial or print ad that promotes something positive and post the link below. Once you’ve posted your link, answer the following three questions:

What is the message of this commercial? How do you know?
What is the product that is being sold in this commercial? How do you know?
Who is the audience that this commercial is targeting? Why do you think that?
