Hey Students!
Looking for a fun way to stay 'in the know' with this weeks news? Looking for a musical outlet to explore and inspire others? Then check out Flocabulary! Starting next week, we are going to be starting "Flocab Fridays", where we will watch the "Week in Rap" video from the Flocabulary website, and discuss the different events that happened in our world.
However, this website if full of other videos that are just pure genius! So feel free to scroll through the different links and find your new favourite... who knows, your favourite could play in the next class! I would love to know of any videos you found, so go ahead.. have fun... and discover!
Parents, thank you for checking the Edublog! I have posted the link to Flocabulary which I am using as a motivational website in class. This website is not only engaging and interactive, but I have found that it motivates students to discover different outlets and make connections to the world around them. Your child might come home on Fridays with more knowledge about worldly events thanks to "Flocab Fridays". This is an event that we will be holding in our class each Friday as we watch the websites "Week in Rap". By analyzing current events through this musical outlet, we as a class are demonstrating one of the overall expectations in Geography, as we "analyze current environmental issues or events from the perspective of one or more of the themes of geography inquiry" (Ontario Geography Curriculum, p.66).
I encourage you as parents to check out the "Week in Rap" videos from the website, and discuss the video with your child.
