Wednesday, June 15, 2011

The year is close to over, but there is still so much work to do!
This morning, we had our Bixi bike comprehension quiz and it has not been marked.  I do have several items to return tomorrow and you may ask your son or daughter, sister or brother about them and how they did.

The Grade 8s continued to do some research in Science for a small project they are working on.  The Grade 7s will be exploring some structures and designing some buildings to withstand some tests of mass on them. 
Both the Grade 7s and 8s are participating in a " Show and Tell" exercise, meant to encourage speaking and presentation skills.  Here are some photos of the objects that were presented today:










The balance of the class will present either on Thursday or Friday.  I will be absent in the morning while I attend a workshop regarding a pilot project that Room 52 will be taking part in for the 2011-2012 school year on supporting resiliency in students with Learning Disabilities.
Homework:  Students who are presenting their Show and Tell needed to practice their presentation skills
