Monday, January 20
Today we started off with Circle sharing and DEAR reading time, then moved into Math. In Math we worked with multiplication equations where at least one factor was a multiple of ten, and we explored a number of strategies for this type of problem before completing practice questions. In Phys. Ed. we continued working on volleyball skills, practicing bumping and volleying, and then trying out different serve shots. In Language Arts we began descriptive writing, with students choosing one of two scenes to describe. We will continue with this pre-assessment tomorrow.
In the afternoon we had quiet reading/unfinished work time, continued preparing our Interior Plains newscasts in Social Studies (which need to be ready to be recorded on Thursday), and read more of The Boundless.

Science Fair Reminders:
The science fair is this Wednesday, January 22. For students to participate, they need to have their finished trifold, logbook, and any other project components in the Hawksnest before the 9:08 bell on Wednesday morning. Students who ride the bus will need to find another way to get their trifolds to school as trifolds are not allowed on the bus. Trifolds that are brought on Tuesday could also be stored in classrooms until setup time on Wednesday morning. We ask that students please bring their trifolds to the Hawksnest as soon as they arrive at school Wednesday morning, then they can go outside to play. After attendance, participating students will return to the Hawksnest and stay at their projects for the majority of the day. (They will still have their regular breaks for recess and lunch, and will also need to be in their classrooms for afternoon attendance.) Students who are unable to demonstrate appropriate behaviour in the Hawksnest will be asked to return to their classrooms and disqualified from the science fair. Parents are invited to walk through the science fair any time from 9:20-3:25, excluding recess and lunch. At 3:25, students are asked to move their trifolds into the conference room for judging. We will let the students know early next week who will move on to the city science fair and give them more information then. A lot of students still seem to have questions about logbooks. There is excellent information about logbooks as well as other project components on the city science fair's FAQ page, which all students are encouraged to thoroughly read. Thank-you!
