Hello Parents and Campers!

So, we are in our final week of school for the 2019 school year!  This week, things will be a little lighter...

1.  No THRoW this week. (Stop cheering)
2.  No WOW test. (Really, stop cheering)
3.  Social Studies test on Tuesday.  (Ok, I'll stop cheering, too) I'll send home the duo tang for review.

             In our unit test on the First Nations and Early Settlers, students will be asked to answer the following question:  How did the relationship between the First Nations and Early Settlers CHANGE over time?  We discussed this at length in class and learned about these changes through a series of journals that you will see in your child's duo tang.
            In short, the relationship between the First Nations and Early Settlers started off great.  The First Nations helped the Early Settlers adapt to their new land by showing them many survival skills.  The relationship was cooperative as the Early Settlers depended heavily on the First Nations' help.
         Over time, more and more settlers can to settle on the First Nation land which impacted their way of life.  They no longer had open fields to enjoy, the Early Settlers did not always respect their culture and beliefs.  Their relationship became strained and they no longer trusted one another.
      There are many examples that your child can pull from in the journals.  Please go over this with them in preparation of our test on Tuesday.

Remember, in lieu of THRoW, your child is expected to practice 2 or 3 songs on the recorder and review for Social Studies.

Until later this week!
