Grade 4:
Today we learned about wedding customs in Judea and Ancient Rome. Were you surprised at the similarities? Some of our wedding traditions come from early societies. The roles of men, women and children were more traditional and very different than those in the First Nations communities. Please complete your Venn diagrams for each of those topics.
How do you find distance on a map?
Grade 5:
