Busy Busy Busy!!!!

It has been a week since the last blog update!!  Too long!!!

Here we go!!!!

I hope you had a wonderful Family Day weekend!

Here is what's up in Room 18 :

Language :
The kids are finishing their Making An Impact essay. Rough copies are done, self and peer editing has been done in class, and good copies are due Monday, the 24th of February. Destination Sochi Olympic travel activities are due next week as well. We are moving into a creative reading and writing unit with a few opportunities for the kids to demonstrate their skills and explore their imaginations - details to follow soon!

Math :
We are working our way through our integers unit. Most of the activities are completed in class, however, a few kids may need some time at home to finish things up. I am also in our room at every break for any extra help the kids may need.

History/Geography :
We are finishing history this week. Our first geography unit involves taking a "snap shot" look at other countries around the world and comparing them to Canada. We will quickly move into a population distribution/density unit. Many cool things are planned for this unit!

Art :
The last period to finish their pointillism art will be either tomorrow or Friday.

Gym :
Our badminton unit is on the go!  The kids  love it!  Our healthy-eating menu search is also coming along quite nicely too!

DATES TO REMEMBER :

Tomorrow - basketball players are headed to Guelph to represent our team at the tournament.

Tomorrow - four of our students will be participating in a math competition at the high school

Friday - white and red day - support our Olympic athletes!!

Friday -  culminating math activities - INFORGRAPHICS are due.

Monday - Making an Impact essays are due.


As I said - BUSY, BUSY, BUSY!!!


Take care,
Miss Waddell
