PE:  Yahoo, it snowed last night, so 1/2 the class was able to get their second chance at cross country skiing.  Here are some photos from today.  Next week we are planning on having 4 stations in the gym, everything from juggling to high jump.  Another outdoor option that will be coming up is road hockey in the tennis court area.

 

 

Socials:  Mr. Martin's class had a chance to watch a video on the "CON" side of the Northern Gateway Pipeline debate.  The students have chosen a partner to be on the same debate team with.  They will debate 2 other students in the class around the proposal by Enbridge to build 2 pipelines to transport oil from Northern Alberta to the West Coast.  The link to the video is

Mr. Martin's class should have all of the Illustrated History project done for Monday.

English:  Students will have time tomorrow to finish off the rough copy of their first paragraph AFTER the lead that they choose.  By the end of the block they should have both of these paragraphs to share with you.

Dance:  Thanks to the students who helped organize the concession items, as well as those who helped pick the songs.  Mr. Martin has given 3 students the job to download the songs that have been suggested so that we can spend the afternoon Friday approving the final song list.  We were stressing that the songs chosen can't just be "good songs" they must be "good dancing songs" and represent a cross genre of Country to Hip Hop

T-Shirts: (at least I spelled it right THIS time)  Any parents who wish to purchase a T-shirt can piggyback on the same order form that has been sent out with those students who asked for one.
