Happy Halloween


Day 7

We began the day with a Halloween costume competition with each house represented by one upper school and one lower school student.

Once in class, students began work on the geometry unit test. This was interrupted by gym class and then students continued the test. Some students even used recess time to complete the test. Students who had completed the test worked on their electric cars.

Because of the assembly this morning, we lost some class time. We unfortunately did not have a novel study meeting today. Please come prepared to meet with your group tomorrow instead.

We began work on the video project on Canada’s exports during UOI time. Students were notified of the export they will be learning about and the partner they will be working with. Everyone received a package (including a checklist) that will guide them in successfully completing this project. We discussed the components: research, storyboard planning, and creating a video and the criteria (as in the self-assessment chart). The class viewed a couple of samples of videos that were created by students last year. Everyone is reminded that devices are needed every day this week and that they need a YouTube account to upload the video.

The class went to French with Mme. Stella. They began their research when they returned to class.

We ended the day with a Halloween dance in the auditorium.












 

Look out for a letter about a basket auction being organised by the parent guild coming home today.
