EXHIBITION: 6 Days to Go


Day 4

I have been working outside of the classroom yesterday and today, and will be away from class again tomorrow.

Yesterday students continued their exhibition work with Mr. Oliver. Three groups presented their projects yesterday and received feedback from Mr. Oliver and the class on how to improve their presentation. Today the class worked with Ms. Bannon. Two groups presented their projects today. The rest of the class worked on other components of their exhibition projects. Tomorrow the class will be with Ms. Hocevar who will put them through the same routine. There will be no blog posting tomorrow.

Students are working on their standing displays. They should bring in any materials they need to complete this part of their project. On Thursday we will have our first run of shooting the video of the French component. Students should bring any costumes and props they need for this. We will most likely continue this component on Friday too. Students have been asked to look up how to use green screens and download any apps they need for this component. They should have all this ready for Thursday and Friday.

Exhibition groups are still working on their action components. As part of their action component for Exhibition, Jerry and Akash have sent home a small checklist for students to complete. Please return the survey by Friday, April 28. Leah, Eghosa, and Arya are also taking action for their Exhibition. They are looking for any used and unwanted sport equipment. If you have any items you would like to donate, please send them in! This used equipment drive will run this week!

The class attended music, gym, and French class today.  

Remember that tomorrow is Casual Day.

It is that time again, SJA. Our annual SJA Spring Fundraiser is under way. It will for the remainder of this week. This year, we are raising money for technology and our goal is $9000. If we raise $3000 as a school we get to wrap a teacher in toilet paper! If we raise $6000 as a school we get to silly string a teacher! If we reach our goal of $9000, students will get to water balloon the teachers! There will be a number of events happening throughout the week and amazing prizes for students who participate, as well as a grand prize, which includes a movie and pizza party!! Some of the daily prizes include a gum day, silly string a teacher, an extra casual day, sit on your teachers chair for the day, and pie Mr. Sawatsky in the face!
