Scooter's Roller Palace

We began the day with a spelling test. Tests are coming home today. Please take time to review the test with your child. In the time we had before we headed off to Scooter's Roller Palace, students corrected their language work that they have been working on this week. Students conferenced with me individually to get this done.

It was then time to head out to Scooter's. Students had fun skating and blading with fellow SJA students, as well as students from Oakwood and the Maples.

When we got back to class, we discussed to how to create qualitative and quantitative data tables for our science fair projects. Students took time to construct at least 2 tables in their science journals where they will record any data they collect. Students who completed all this work began typing up the different components of their science project to be ready for their display board. Remember that materials lists are due Monday. Science fair homework for the weekend is to collect/purchase any materials needed for the science fair projects. Some students have expressed a desire to conduct their testing at home. I am fine with students doing this. Remember to have a chart ready in your journals to collect data in. Students who are ready are encouraged to begin the testing process. Remember to take before, during, and after photographs for your display board.

We ended the day meeting as a school to find out which class is in the lead for the spring fundraiser. SJA students met all fundraising goals and we saw Ms. Rossi get spaghetti stringed, Mr. Sawatsky shaved his beard, Mr. Browning wore make-up for the day, and Mr. Monaghan dyed his hair blue. Because students raised over $6000 in all, today's top fundraiser chose to pie Mme. Stella in the face. Well done to Mme. Stella for being a good sport.
