Friday March 30

AVID:  This is an excellent opportunity for those students wanting to learn organizational skills, note taking skills, etc.  Two teachers, including Green Team's very own Ms. McFarland, have taken extensive training to help students who desire to enroll in this program.  We used to run Academic Intervention where the staff and parents signed students up for this after school program, but we didn't always get the student "buy in".  We have just introduced the concept to students at yesterday's assembly, and we had over 20 students go to a lunch hour meeting to get more information.

Science:  Both classes will be done the mystery powder lab by Tuesday.  I have really enjoyed watching the students get hands on experience, and most have told me that they enjoy the change.  I am hoping to come up with a lab to test Acids and Bases of household chemicals, which will be a continuation of our chemistry section

English:  Mr. Martin's class is just starting poetry, and trying to finish off the last of the individual novel presentations

Rick Hansen update:  Congratulations to our own student, Liam Flaten who has been chosen to be our representative to carry the 1 lb silver medal in the cross Canada relay.  Our leg of the relay will take place on Tuesday, come out and support our representative, as well as the 12 other students who were selected by their classmates as nominees for this event.

Socials:  Mr. Martin's class is almost 1/2 way done their debates on the Northern Gateway Pipeline, with the Pro side winning 3 out of 3 debates.  We have 4 more sets to go.

Math 7 Boys:  We will continue to review today and Monday for the unit 4 test, with a test hopefully on Tuesday morning.  This unit covers circles, parallelograms, triangles, as well as creating circle graphs.

Health and Career Ed: Madame Wocknitz has been working with both classes in researching skills and wages, and job opportunities for various jobs. They are creating a duotang of information for their jobs.
