Friday, March 24 - First week done!

We had a great first week together. I appreciate all of the students working with me this week to ensure the best possible learning environment for all.

We are still working on a few routines such as:

-coming in and leaving class in an efficient manner
-active listening (waiting for others to finish speaking before we start adding our ideas)
- being safe

Art
We have begun an Art project which is similar to sixstringnation.com 

Students are asked to draw/create an object or image which they feel represents what Canada means to them. Within the artwork they pick/draw/create six objects/images and describe the reasons why it represents Canada to them.

I have posted the outline in our google classroom. (see today's post)

Rough plan due: Friday, March 31
Artwork due: April 4

Math: review rectangular and triangular prisms, surface area, volume, Know how to apply these structures in real life. Assessment Tuesday.

Language - some FNMI still overdue (two paragraphs)

Science - grade 5's experiments Monday

Have a great weekend!
