Social Studies


Paulina had an interesting time creating a Theatre for her Social Studies class project. She drew and coloured a scene from the Disney movie, Frozen onto thin tissue paper (so she had to practice care using pencil and marker). This was the theme of her Theatre and she worked thoughtfully and diligently to create just what she wanted. Paulina then presented it successfully in class in French, saying C'est un cinema dans un grand cite.







Writing Journals

Paulina practices her writing in her English writing journal as you can see here from early on and she progressed well as you scroll down.













Paulina has moved into writing in a larger journal as you can see below.




She also likes to write things, phrases, and in this case lyrics to the song from the Disney movie, Frozen. 





Mathematics And More!

Paulina has been steadily excelling in Math at school and at home. She often brings Math worksheets home with many check marks indicating her knowledge in Math is excellent. She has been working at home with simple addition, subtraction using abstract numbers, numbers in word sentences, amounts of values of coins, equations, measurement, data management, and most recently time (both analogue and digital) to name some examples of content. Here is an example of how creativity played a part in her learning experience as she made this paper analogue clock in class.

Having some Fun with English

Paulina is continuing to discover many different types of styles of English writing including recipes, graphic booklets, board game instructions, and activity books.




Reading in French!

Wow! It's been less that a year, 8 months actually, that Paulina has been learning a new language. She has been so diligent that she has build up a sound basic vocabulary in French. She can read simple sentences - what an accomplishment!
