Many
groups needed an extra day to complete their ‘Welcome to _____, Canada’ video. Class
time was used to complete recording the narration, adding the music, uploading,
sharing the link and completing the self-assessment. Of course, time was also needed
to troubleshoot issues related to various steps. By the end of the day I had
receive all but links to 2 projects. I look forward to viewing these projects
in class tomorrow.
Students
that completed their video began working on learning about the connections
between Canada and the USA. They used atlases that were made available in the
classroom and internet sources to complete their worksheet. We will continue this
work tomorrow. Laptops are needed tomorrow. Students are to complete the first page
for homework if they did not complete it in class.
Students attended music class with Mr. Oliver, French class with
Mme. Stella and math class with Ms. Joseph. In math,
Speech duo-tangs are coming home today. Take time to review the
two rubrics (written & oral) with your child, sign them, and return them to
school.
Tomorrow is spirit day. Students are to come to school wearing reds,
whites, and pinks.
The next Caribou contest will be taking place Wednesday, February
26th, 2020. Students are to arrive at 7:15 am for a 7:30 am start. They should
bring their own charged devices.
The interactive question for Grades 2-10 will be Bomb Defuser and for Grade 11/12 it will be GeomeTree requiring a construction involving lines and circles. Because Caribou’s GeomeTree site can be used to solve the interactive question, this site will be blocked at noon on Tuesday, February 25th. Both interactive questions are accessible from Caribou’s Games/History page. Contact Caribou directly if you have any problems with the games. There will be no history question in the February contest.
