Ash Wednesday

Hello,

Yesterday, some students started the day with pancakes, as we looked forward to the beginning of Lent. We also watched our book trailers and gave some oral feedback to each group.

We also started the process of making our own websites. The students created their own site, using Blogger or Google Sites, and made their first blog post. Everyone is welcome to work on their sites at home, especially over the March Break! Our goal is to have the students post regularly on the blog and post some of their assignments on the site as well, so it can be used as an e-portfolio.

This morning, we had an Ash Wednesday celebration, then we completed a Math quiz on Order of Operations. Next, we worked on our sandwich making entrepreneurship project, as we made plans to adjust our focus a little bit, thanks to a certain record breaking group from Dallas. We made some wonderful progress.

Tomorrow, we will have our final presentations of the newspaper article summaries. A reminder to anyone who has not yet presented, you will be expected to share your work on Thursday morning. Also, please remember to return your permission slip for the transition day trip to Holy Trinity.

Finally, please remember to bring board games tomorrow, as the Grade 6 students will be working on their collaboration and problem solving skills, through board games, once our other tasks are completed in the morning. I will challenge anyone to a game of Connect Four - if anyone brings the game!

Have a great night.

Mr. Skinner
