Speech Competition


We began our day with a math lesson. Today students solved division problems with 3-digit dividends. They composed their own word problems and then used division to solve these problems.

Students then worked on their pioneer projects. I am seeing some improvements in research skills. Tomorrow will be the last day that students have class time to work on their projects. Presentations have been moved to Tuesday, March 4, and Wednesday, March 5, next week.

After lunch we went to listen to the Grade 4 - 9 finalist students participate in the SJA Annual Oral Competition. All students can be very proud of their speeches and the audience is commended for their support of their fellow students. Congratulations especially to Braeden for first place, Carter for second place, and Maria for third place. Following the awards, students listened to the judges' talks. Students had the opportunity to ask questions of the judges.
