Thank you to all those parents that helped with the grade 7 pizza fundraiser. On another note thank you to all the students who worked so hard preparing for our school dance. I was really proud of every student that participated. My apologies parents and students for not being at school the past couple of days. On Wednesday evening I lost my voice and I still have not fully recovered it yet. Thank you to Ms. Appleton for stepping in for me.
This week in room 231 we covered the following:
LA- the students performed their oral stories to a small group and we started to discuss the parts of an essay(introduction, thesis statement, body and conclusion). The students practiced writing thesis statements based on a variety of questions and topics. We also explored advertising techniques. Each student spent this week planning and filing an advertisement using I-Movie for their golf course. Next week the students will be presenting their golf courses to a panel of hand selected judges.
Math- much of our Math time this week was sucked up by filming advertisements for our geometry golf course. Next week I'm hoping to start some probability. The students did get some time to play Sum Dog and work on reviewing all skills.
Social Studies- we are finishing off our research on BC First Nations. The last region we will look at is the NorthWestern part of BC and the First Nations principles of learning. This will be the backbone of our first essay.
Gym: we spent some of this week practising our flash mop waltz dance and playing minor games such as blastball, corridor ball and mushroom ball.
Thanks for a great week. I'm looking forward to being back in the classroom on Monday morning.
Upcoming Events: bowling/hot chocolates field trip, grade 7 girls field trip, golf course presentations
