Tomorrow is our Skate-a-thon!!!!
Donations of $5 per student. All proceeds will go to our phys-ed program, and there will be treats available after skating!
All Geography projects - Anywhere on Earth - are overdue. They were due at the beginning of the week. Each student can send them to me on the cloud.
Integer math test results have been returned to the kids. Overall, they did quite well!
We head over to Centre 2000 on Monday to visit with the seniors. Monday is Bingo Day!
Monday is also a full-day dress rehearsal for Wizard of Oz.
Floor Hockey tournament is next Friday.
Have a great day!

Updates!
Another week is off to a great start!!!
Here are some important updates from Room 18:
Math : We are almost finished our integer unit. and there will be a test on Friday. And next week we will move on to learning about the properties of circles.
Language : we have been doing some creative writing, some presentations on the Olympics, and some guided reading. We will soon be moving onto persuasive writing, and how to write a proper news/magazine article.
Geography : we are studying various countries (of the students choosing), and looking at things like population, area, economy, political situation, ethnicities, landforms, etc. We will be shifting our focus to population density, and investigating what density means and how it relates to different countries.
Phys-ed/Health : we are moving on to tennis , and learning about first aid.
Art : a self-directed research project will begin this Friday. Details will follow soon!
Reminders:
School floor hockey try-outs are second break every day this week.
I think that's all for now!
Take care,
Miss Waddell
