Student Vote Canada
We are so excited to be participating in Student Vote Canada again this year! As part of the Grade 5 Social Studies curriculum, students explore the three levels of government and their responsibilities. When this learning aligns with an election year, we join schools across the country in participating in Student Vote Canada.
With the election happening earlier than expected this year, our students and teachers have been working hard to transform our classroom into a realistic voting station. Students in Grades 3 to 8 will learn about the political parties running in the Ottawa West–Nepean riding, and then cast their votes in a mock election on Monday, April 28th.
Once the votes are in, we’ll submit our results to Student Vote Canada, who will compile and compare them to the official national results—an exciting way to see how youth perspectives match or differ from the broader electorate!
We can’t wait to share photos and results with you on Monday, once voting is complete.
In the meantime, here’s a sneak peek at what we’ve learned about voting and how our special election day will be set up.

Literary Bites: A Book Tasting Experience
Today we sampled some incredible books at our Book Tasting (thanks to Joanne Miller for the great resource!)
Students got to taste 5 different books of various genres: Fiction, Historical Fiction, Fantasy, Science Fiction, and Mystery. As any good critic would do, they wrote down their first impressions and initial thoughts after their first bites. They then gave each book a rating on a scale from 1-10. Finally, any books worth revisiting were written down on a bookmark so they could remember their top picks.
Students realized that some books that they may not have been attracted to at first were in fact appealing. Others discovered genres they never knew they were interested in.
We did this as a launch to our next reading task, The At-Home Reading Response. Step 1 is for students to choose their book. They can choose one of the books from our tasting, they can choose one from this book list, or they can read a book from their own “want to read” lists. Whichever book they choose, they must let me know by April 9th. From there, we will make a reading plan and they will each receive their prompt for their response. More info coming soon!
