One Week to go Before Exhibition

The day began with all groups receiving an hour of class time to work on their projects. We then began rehearsing for exhibition today. For most groups they had the second run through of their slideshow and second round of feedback on how to improve their work. For some they presented their slideshow for the first time and for others, they have still to complete this for the first time. Once this was done, some students presented their poem or rap for the second round of feedback. Other students presented for the first time, and some are still not ready. During the day, students continued working on various components that are still incomplete. One area that everyone needs to focus on is the table display. They will need trifold boards or other materials as they have decided in their groups to complete this component. They should bring in all materials on Monday if they have not already done this.

Those who presented their slideshow and rap/poem for the second time should begin memorising their lines.

Mme. Stella came to our class to give support to students as they worked on their French component.

We did not have math class today. Math classes will only resume after exhibition is completed. I forgot to mention on yesterday’s blog that Ms. Joseph handed out the integers’ unit test. These tests went home yesterday.  Please take time to review the test with your child, sign it, and return it to Ms. Joseph.

Students are reminded exhibition work must be completed in class and not for homework.

Students should bring in refreshments for exhibition.

Those who would like to participate in the silent dance may still hand in their forms and money by Monday.

Likewise, those who have not returned their immunization forms may still do this on Monday.
