A Busy Day

Hello,

I had a lot of fun coaching lacrosse yesterday and going to a technology workshop on Wednesday, but I definitely missed being in the classroom!

Thank goodness the students were hard at work while I was away. They sang our two songs for the Christmas Concert this morning and they did a fantastic job! Now, it's really important for everyone to do on Google Drive this weekend. We need to keep practising, so that we don't need to rely on our lyric sheets during the concert next Thursday.

Today, the students also put the finishing touches on their Food Train posters and commercials, which used a variety of advertising techniques that we discussed in class. We hope that everyone enjoys the videos, which were posted on the blog earlier today.

Next, the students began to work on their poster boards for their Kiva persuasive letter presentations on Tuesday morning. Most students have finished their editing process and are now designing their poster boards. We will continue to work on this task on Monday morning, but if students would like to have colour photos on their poster boards, they need to print pictures this weekend at home, and bring them in on Monday.

Finally, I had some good discussions with some groups today about the differences between a broken line graph and a scatterplot graph. We will be making some minor changes to the graphs we have been working on and finishing this task on Monday.

Have a great weekend and practise, practise, practise those songs for the concert!

Thanks,

Mr. Skinner
