Hello Parents and Div 10 Students

Once again we had a very busy week in room 231.  Please take a closer look at the important reminders on the left side of the blog.


Math- in Math the students embarked on a geometry journey.  The students are using their geometry skills to design an 9 hole mini golf course.  Each partnership or individual was awarded 4 work blocks to complete their design.  Students also have Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday to complete their golf course.  Golf courses are due on Tuesday May 23.   On Tuesday the students will start part B- making an advertisement to sell their course.

LA- our focus this week in Language Arts has been First Nations Oral Storytelling.  We had an aboriginal story telling join our class on Tuesday and we've spent the whole week practising and preparing for our own oral story telling performance.  We will preform on Tuesday May 23.  Audience members will participate in a peers and self assessment.

Art- this week in Art we started to design our very own masks.  We looked at some example and discussed who masks were an important part of BC First Nations culture.
