Gr 5: Create a poster of famous Canadians... try to find out their background, in other words, what country their parents or grandparents emigrated from, if possible. Here's an example:
Earthquake Drill! Just a drill... not an actual earthquake. We practiced with the whole school what to do when an earthquake happens... Drop, Cover, and Hold On.

| Spot the hidden kids! |
The students took it very seriously... especially as I had Ms. Reichert's class for Science while she had our class for Social Studies. We talked about how school is a very safe place... only one story high, overbuilt, lots of exits, and teachers (including myself) that will not go home to their own families until every Brooksbank child is looked after, or until we are told to go home.
Then, this being Thursday, we were joined again by Ms. Rublee, our teacher-candidate currently studying Education at UBC. Last week we heard about her dedication to the sport of Sprint Canoeing, including attending the BC Games, and eventually being nationally ranked as one of the top female athletes in her sport, stopping short of the Olympics only because at that level it is a male-only Olympic sport. We saw some of her medals and we were able to lift her incredibly light but strong Canoe racing paddle.
