Occupation and Natural Resources in Nova Scotia

Dear Mom and Dad:

We had a new student to welcome to our Rainbow triad today. His name is Ryan and we learned that some of us have a lot in common with him! He is in Ms. Deobald's class and we are very excited to have him join our class. We made sure to help him feel comfortable in his new learning environment.  Welcome Ryan!

In the afternoon, we continued our inquiry about Nova Scotia. We got into our class groups and looked at the different resources and occupations in Nova Scotia. We learned that occupation means what jobs there are. Each class looked at a different resource so that we can become experts and then share it with the rest of the triad tomorrow.

Question of the day: Post on the blog what section I am looking at and what I learned today.

Love,
Rainbow Triad

  6. Dayna said her section is mining and miners. She learned that they drive in a cart under the ground. They use TNT to blow up the rocks. They spray the walls so that they stay strong and don't tumble over.

  10. Abby says: I'm looking into the Acadians. They had to be sent away and when they came back they built a church for visitors with rocks on the bottom to keep it from blowing away.
