Amazing week!

Things are back to "busy" in room 18!
We have many upcoming events and activities in the next few weeks!

Here is a snap-shot :
Tomorrow, Loretta Penny will be visiting our school to talk about her journeys through travel. The topic she will be discussing is Oceans.  With her, she not only brings her amazing experiences and stories to the kids....she also brings items and wares from around the world that the kids can purchase.  The kids are aware that she is coming and will love her presentation!
Next Monday we have our Character Education assembly and the characteristics being celebrated at this assembly are Respect and Responsibility.  Parents of the students receiving the awards will be notified this week.
The grade 8's will be going to see the Hunger Games movie in Orangeville!!!!!  This will occur in early April - details to come!!

In language , the kids have been working on summarizing news articles, and they will be presenting these summaries next week.  Also, the menus that the kids created in January, will require some publicity...SO... the kids will be working on their radio "jingles" soon!
In math we are learning about circles - their circumference, diameter, and radius, Pi...... and will soon be learning about the area of circles and how to calculate it.
In science we are working on isometric and orthographic drawings which will lead us into "building" our first project.
In gym, the focus has been on floor hockey and badminton.

Busy busy!

I hope everyone enjoys the beautiful weather this week!
