Personal Projects

Due to a very busy day, we again did not get to view the remaining ‘Welcome to _____, Canada’ videos. Again, we plan to do this tomorrow instead.

We spent all of our inquiry time working on the next phase of our summative task, ‘The Ambassador’s Tea Party’. Today’s goal was to complete the good electronic version of the brochures using the paper draft as a guide. Students who were not done this work used their recess time to get caught up. The brochures were due to me before the end of the school day tomorrow. Students were required to either email the brochure to me as an attachment or share it with me through Google docs. Those who did not get done in class need to email me their brochures ASAP. Students who prefer and are able to are asked to print a colour version of the brochure at home and bring it to school tomorrow.

Students will share their brochures and form trade connections with ambassadors from other developing countries at the Ambassador’s Tea Party, tomorrow. Students are to come dressed to well represent their country. They are also asked to supply a small plate of treats for the tea party, e.g. shortbread biscuits or cucumber sandwiches. I will supply the tea. Students will need to change into their gym uniform for gym class tomorrow afternoon.

Students will be writing the UOI test on Tuesday, March 5^th. They should be reviewing all work covered so far in this unit, including map work.

We visited the Grade 10 Personal Projects. Ask your child to tell you about the projects they saw today.

Students had music, French and math class today. In math, took up questions from the review worksheet. For homework they are to try Questions No. 6 & 9 from the review worksheet. The next math unit test is Monday, March 4^th, 2019.
