I will start helping my helper whenever I can and I will finish my card for her today and so I can give it to her tomorrow. The reason I am doing this is because I want to do something nice to my helper for what she has done all those years and also because I want to show people what types of action even children can take to help labor movements anywhere in the world.

 Mr. Woods gave us a picture of this ladder of participation. Here is the picture of the ladder of participation.

I think that the action I am doing is at level 6 which is: ‘Adult initiated shared decisions with children.’ because this idea was given from my teacher and I thought it was a good idea so I went with that idea and did it without any help.

I can’t wait until tonight more updates on the actual Exhibition on Friday!

Before researching on labor movements I barely knew much about this topic. All I knew were a few subjects related to labor movements, such as child labor and labor unions. After a lot of researching, I now know a lot more than just issues in labor movements. From the research that has been done, I have learnt how factory workers are treated, their working conditions and about how some people have helped them overcome these problems.

Many labor workers were beaten in the past and easily injured; some were even killed by their owners. The working conditions in the past were very poor because the labor workers had to from from day to night, given little and non-nutritious food and poor shelter. I learnt that some labor workers (called mill girls) were given the opportunity to read in libraries and eat healthier foods than other labor workers. Many people have helped labor workers to receive fairer wages and better working conditions. People such as Cesar Chavez,  Dolores Huerta (founder of the National Farm Association) and Harriet Tubman (the famous railroad conductor) are all people that have helped significantly.

I learnt a lot during the finding out process because I was able to research in more detail about my topic. I learnt many new and interesting improvements that have been made in the labor force, such as better working conditions and enough food for labor workers. Another fact that I found interesting was that not all albor works are treated in bad ways, such as the mill girls. I am happy to have picked to research about the topic of American labor movements because I was able to learn more about the changes from America’s past to present in the labor force, and can share my knowledge with others.

I hope that you guys understand my topic! See you guys next week!

This week we started our exhibition we will continue next week! The exhibition is stressing me out! So much homework to do!

This week I self assesed my work. I did that by reading over my work. I asked myself if I thought this was good work or not.

SEE YA! Bye guys!

On Tuesday, it was the CNY( Chinese New Year) Flower Fair. Using many tokens bought things such as flowers, took a picture with my best friend which costs 4 tokens per picture, bought barrels of slime and a mood ring. For the rest of the time, we walked around.

On Wednesday, we have double periods of Performing Arts. During that time we watched the movie “Brave” because it was related to the exhibition unit” Where We Are In Place and Time”. We did a self- progress report with a reflection for each section. We connected our math worksheets and grammar worksheets.

On Thursday which is today, we had P.E it was so fun because we had team captains. My team’s captain was Rachel. She picked David, Darren, Alvin, Ian and me. My whole team works well together.

Tommorrow is Friday, we have ans assembly for about two periods and it is half day tommorrow. I can’t wait until tommorrow.

These are the things that I bought in the flower fair:

I am leaving for the holiday on Sunday because I am going to Japan, so I will write about it when I come back! See Ya!

On Tuesday, we had a debate about the women falling into the foutain. The judges were Charlotte, Rachel, Ms. Holm and me. Darren was sick so he couldn’t attend. Besides the debate, we had to work on our Math Menus.

On Wednesday, we created a 100 seconds video of random dancing. We also worked on our speeches. We started working on our logo’s for the logo contest using Illustrator.

On Thursday, we finished the Moodle Math Question and fractiions Math Menu. We did a mind map about what we hear, see and smell in public spaces. We started designing the Grade 6 space. The hard part was to draw it to scale. Including a report with the design.

On Friday, We had to finish up our public space design. We also handed in our speeches. We finished up on our draft #1 speeches.

Can’t wait till next week!

Sportmanship looks like people supporting each other saying good job and working cooperatively.

Why is it important to follow the rules of a game?

It is important to follow the rules of games because if you don’t follow the rules you will get hurt and the game will be unfair to others.

Why are good team strategies important to success in team games? Give examples of strategies for team handball?  How would you create and/or deny space in team handball?

Good team strategies are important to success in team games because you can win and you feel comfortable in games without struggling. One good strategy for handball is that you create space and throw to people that are in the open space. I would back up to create space and for denying space I would clump up with a group of people with the ball.

What is a strategy you/your team used in “Capture the Flag” to be more successful?

A strategy that me and my team use in ‘Capture the Flag’ is to draw attention to yourself while others go and get the rugby balls and help other teammates get out of jail.

Describe why having strong skills helps your team be more successful? Give some examples of skills with a specific team sport in mind.

Having strong skills are important so you can do things accurately. For example in team handball you have to learn how to throw the ball far to your teammate when your compettitor is blocking you.

Why does a team that is very physically fit have an advantage over a team that is not fit?

The team that is phyisically fit has an advantage because they cannot run as fast as you and they can’t chase up with you.
