Monday, September 16
Today in Science we shared our brainstorming about different living and non-living things found in wetlands, began to consider what kinds of interactions occur between living and non-living things in wetlands, and started to watch the Bill Nye Wetlands video and take jot notes. In Social Studies we continued to work on our map of Canada's provinces, territories and capital cities, and also began to map the six physical regions of Canada.
Today we also had the privilege of working with Valmai Goggin, the librettist from Calgary Opera who will ultimately be writing the script for our school's opera based on ideas that students come up with. She explained the different elements of a story and the dramatic arc that a plot follows, then students came up with "What If?" ideas that could ultimately become the inspiration for our opera.
One family count notice came home today, about the Muffin Breakfast on September 27. Please remember to order your food through Healthy Hunger if you are planning to attend! The beginning of the year demographics forms also came home today. Please read through this carefully, make any corrections or additions as needed, and sign the form whether you made changes or not. I am still waiting for the beginning of the year forms and field trip forms from some people. Please send those completed forms back as soon as possible.
