Hi Parents
Just a friendly reminder that the Pizza forms, payment for the year end and the kindergarten photos are due this Wednesday! We are in a field trip that day but we will collect what we have and send them to the volunteer committee running the organization of our year end festivities! If you haven't paid for outdoor school yet that due date is coming up very quickly. Please pay online or hand into me as soon as you can. Thanks! Good Morning Everyone!
Room # 28 is in need of volunteers for their Police Interpretive Center Field trip on May 9th. This is a full day field trip on Wednesday and without a few more volunteers we cant go. If you, or someone with a valid police clearance is available please let me know via email - [email protected] Thanks :) ** Here is the Artifact Reflection for those who forgot to pick it up** Your artifacts will be built Monday/Tuesday/Friday next week! Be prepared with your materials Artifact Reflection You need to write a detailed reflection to accompany your artifact. Write with proper sentences and paragraphs. I am looking for a deep explanation, using what you learned during our week long Athens role-play and the discussions we have had in class. Use your reflections in your booklets to guide your work. What does your artifact represent? Explain why you chose the artifact. What material was used to create it, why were specific colours chosen? How was the government of ancient Athens structured? How did the structure of the government in ancient Athens provide opportunities for citizens to participate in decision-making? How did identity, status and class structure (Social structure) impact its political structure? To what extent were democratic ideals of equity and fairness part of the structure of government and society in ancient Athens? Forms:
There are a TON of forms that need to come into me :) - Vincent Massey is due ASAP. Field trip is Friday - Outdoor School - due asap - Options forms for Vincent Massey - Interpretive center forms due - May 9th field trip ( still need two volunteers to be able to go) Students will be writing their practice PAT on May 1st from 9:30-12:00. They will need a snack for that day that is quiet and wont disturb others. Try to avoid chips or high sugar foods. In Social we are going to be creating artifacts that represent our understanding of democracy in Ancient Greece. Students may be asking to bring in materials from home to create their artifacts. Thanks :) Hi Parents,
Sorry about the confusion with the conferences, all bookings are still there and WERE NOT deleted. Please come whenever works for you - it is a drop in night so time doesn't matter as much as coming to look through your son or daughters work. Today students will be receiving a packing list for Outdoor school. This is the same list as the one in the participant manual, but many parents have requested a paper copy. Conferences will be from 5-8pm on Thursday and 8-12 on Friday Homework: Ms. Gordon's 10 theories for Wednesday Science Test tomorrow - we did a pre test and studied together today! Math Geo boards Task due Thursday Stories - TBA ( soon!) Hopefully the weather warms up! See you Thursday / Friday :) Hi everyone,
With all the forms coming in and out I wanted to quickly update you on the forms needed. 1. Outdoor school package - get in as soon as possible - You can pay online and add the 5$ for the Youthlink Fieldtrip 2. Permission forms for U of C Research. - I am involved in the Galileo Network for teachers this year. On Friday afternoons, I attend sessions where we learn the most current ways to teach and learn. The U of C asks that come participants allow them to come into the classroom to observe how the information is being transferred back to the students. I was chosen to host them in May - the Math class will be similar to every other Math class during the day, except there will be a researcher taking photos of work and taking samples of student work if needed. Most students wont even notice she is there. All work is confidential and names would be erased. 3. Field trip Form to Vincent Massey - this is a free field trip, students just need to hand in their forms :) 4. Upcoming ** Youth Link Forms will be coming out very soon - the $5 needed can be paid now online with the outdoor school forms Thanks Everyone :) Happy Monday Good Morning,
