Fun Day: We had a great time yesterday at the arena, as well as the theatre. Less students actually skated than we had hoped, but those that did had a chance to play hockey (completely organized by the students), or skate around with Mdm Wocknitz (who complained bitterly that her feet were cold!) Thanks to all the students who volunteered to participate in the Improv Theatre. We saw some "amazing" blindfolded makeup presentations, as well as some excellent voice impersonations in a game of "Master Master, who am I" We ended the day with a game of bus stop, in which the goal was to make the other person crack up.
Science: Mr. Martin's class has done day 2 of the first part of the science lab on Mystery Powders. They will continue on Thursday, and Mdm Wocknitz class will work on day 2 of the lab on Wednesday
English: Several students in Mr. Martin's room have done part or all of their novel presentations. We will be starting presentations for the rest of the class on Thursday. All students drew a number for the presentation orders, but some students have chosen to present to Mr. Martin privately at lunch, in the morning, or after school. Memoirs: Mr. Martin's class should have their GOOD copies of their memoirs ready to hand in for this Friday.
Socials: This will be the last week for preparing the debates on the Northern Gateway Pipeline in Mr. Martin's class. Debates will take place in class next week. Your son/daughter should have their speach written on cue cards, as well as have approximately 10-15 questions to ask the opposite team.
Pink Day: Tomorrow is Pink Day. Hopefully all students will wear a pink shirt to symbolize "anti bullying"
Zen Reading: We only get library time every second Thursday, and many students are at a loss for what to read during our 30 minutes after lunch. Perhaps you can help them find a magazine or 2 that could be left in the classroom incase they, or others, forget their books one day.
