Although I write the homework on the page each day, it seems that things aren't posting. I will try to trouble shoot it and see what is going wrong. Perhaps something as simple as when I think I'm hitting the publishing button, I haven't been. Fingers crossed!
Well have been busy working on book talks. Our class, along with Mrs. Waterston's class have been busy reading a variety of novels. We provide lots of time in class for students to read and complete the assignments. However for some students, they either need a bit more time, or they haven't used their time wisely and therefore end up with homework. We are in the home stretch as everyone will finish their novels this week.
We had an exciting science lab last week with students exploring the rock cycle through using starburst... yes the candy. Students had the opportunity to see how things start in the sedimentary rocks and then with heat and pressure move into metamorphic rock and then with some more heat applied becoming igneous rock. (It made for a gooey, but apparently delicious mess)
Students will have the opportunity tomorrow to meet with a museum curator and understand the links with archeology as they have been studying it.
On Wednesday we will be heading to the Adams Lake Band for a career fair. Students will get the chance to speak with a variety of different people about different aspects of their jobs.
We have started fundraising for the year end field trip. If you are interested in purchasing holiday cards crafted by our classes they are available for $2 each; 6 for $10 or 10 for $18. There are a variety of images and themes to choose from and we are happy to package them up and send them home with your child.
Finally, our class has decided to take on an additional fundraiser for Free the Children by selling Rafiki chains. These come in a variety of colours and are available for $10. The money raised goes to help a family in Kenya
