Happy Friday!

Hello parents and Div 10 students,

It was a very busy week in room 231.  We had a few special guests (Will Stroet and Corwin Fox) help us produce a song about compassion.  What an awesome experience and opportunity to look at how to write and produce a song!

This week in room 231 we covered the following topics:

Science- we are learning about the Scientific Method and applying it to building/flying paper airplanes.  Today we discussed the physics behind flight (thrust, lift, gravity, drag) and the forces to consider when testing your airplane.  Other concepts that we will cover during this assignment are: how to calculate mean, median, mode, independent, dependant, controlled variables.

LA- we continued with our short stories unit.  We reviewed PLOT and completed a learner reflection.  We read a short story called "Raising Eyebrows."

Art- we continued to work on our Capturing Compassionate project.  All the students worked with Will Stroet a singer/songwriter that works for CBC to write the lyrics for a song about compassion for self and others.  Yesterday, we recorded our song in Corwin Fox's recording studio in Cumberland.  What an awesome experience!

Gym- we talked about "target heart rate" and learned how to calculate our heart rate. We also learned how to play Army Dodge Ball.

Thanks for a great week.  Have an enjoyable weekend!

Mr. Tobacca
