RSA Animate Videos


Day 10

We began our day with a spirit day assembly. Everyone was dressed cosily in their PJs. Kappa appropriately hosted a pillow case race for today’s house game. Well done to Kappa for taking first place, and Zeta and Theta for taking second and third place respectively.

Once we got back to class we started talking about exhibition. Students watched a slide show presentation about exhibition. Ask your child to explain the following to you:

What is exhibition?

What is the purpose of exhibition?

What are the required elements of exhibition?

What is the role of the student?

What is the role of the teacher?

What is the role of parents?

How will students be assessed?

We then had math time. Students had to show that they had completed and corrected the entire review package. The unit test will be written tomorrow.

 I collected novels and novel study summaries today. Some students did not have this with them today. This work is now past due. Please ensure you have them at school tomorrow.

The remainder of class time was spent on the explorers RSA Animate project. Most students have now completed the video and are now working on uploading the video to Movie Maker or iMovie, editing the video, narrating the video, and uploading the video to YouTube. Students are asked to NOT make the video private in order to allow me to view them. They should NOT allow comments on their video. Students are asked to email me the YouTube link by Tuesday evening to mhaag@stjudesacademy.com. Devices are needed for tomorrow’s class if students have not completed this work. They will have approximately 1. 5 hours of class time tomorrow to finish this project. Remember to have all devices and materials at school in order to complete this project on time in class.

Students attended music and gym class today.

Ski trip permission forms are past due.

This week is Spirit Week. Students are invited to come to school with crazy hair and colourful outfits tomorrow.
