Exhibition: The Slideshow


Day 9

We continued working on our Fractions, Percents, Ratios, and Rates math unit. We continued working on review work. Students were challenged to complete the remaining questions in the review package. I have been checking students work throughout the entire day. Some students need to correct and/or complete their work. The review work is coming home today. Please remember to return the review packages to school tomorrow as we will keep working on them in class. The math unit test will take place on Thursday, April 20th.

Working on the slideshow was the exhibition focus today. I managed to meet with two groups and give feedback on their slideshow. Groups also worked on various other components. Some were conducting interviews. Others worked on editing their interview videos, or on their French component. Some are even beginning to plan for an additional creative component.

The class attended French with Mme. Stella today.

Students are reminded to bring in any costumes and props they need for the creative component of exhibition by tomorrow as students will be shooting the video tomorrow.

We have a lot of action taking place around the school!

Jacob and Husmeen are collecting materials to donate to an animal shelter for their exhibition project. They are looking for cat litter. Cat food, toys for pets, clothing for pets, old blankets, animal bowls, or anything you think may help.

It is that time again, SJA. Our annual SJA Spring Fundraiser is fast approaching. It will run the week of Monday, April 24 - Friday, April 28. Forms and information were sent home yesterday. 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!

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!
