The students performed their I Am Canada reader's theatre to several classrooms today. Their performance was outstanding. It highlighted our work on fluency, particularly parasody.

Gastronomy Makerspace
We are chefs!
The students are creating treats for their parents for Christmas.
Looks delicious!
I loved the giggles and statements of, "I made it myself." The students felt a sense of pride and accomplishment.
We read to learn and procedural texts, such as recipes, show students that reading offers tangible results. Following step-by-step instructions to get to a finished result is an important reading skill, and using that skill to cook shows students that reading has very practical benefits.
