Wow, this is a very busy week for some students. Many students are having one last chance to hand in major projects for marking. In Mr. Martin's class, end of novel projects are due this Thursday, both science classes have the chapter 1 test on Wednesday or Thursday, and some students needed to turn in their Viking story.
Science: We will have the test this week, and then start learning about how cells combine to make tissue, tissue combines to make organs, and organs combine to make a system.
English: All students should be done reading the novel by now, and finishing off their models, menus, interviews, and other projects of thier choice for the end of the novel assignment.
Socials: Today we started our look at the ancient Roman empire.

Mr. Martin's Class
Science: Most of the 3-D models of plant and animal cells have come in. I took a photo and printed it off for each one, and the students needed to staple it to their assessment sheet, and include the information on each part. We are almost finished the chapter, and both classes will have a test on chapter 1 in the next week or two.
English: The Viking stories are now late. This was a "Game Day" activity, so the students know that this mark will be included into their term 1 report card mark. The students are to have chosen an end of the novel activity from the list of over 15 choices. Some students have chosen to create a meal using 2 food items mentioned in the novel, others have chosen to interview one of the characters, or even create a model of the island or the airship. The students should be all finished reading the novel, and working on this project, which should come in November 30th.
Socials: We are finishing up the last of the worksheets on Vikings, and moving into the study of ancient Rome
Art: There are only approximately 5 classes left, and students are to have met with me to discuss their recent projects (carving/Tye Dye Tshirts/)

or post it on Youtube, Vimeo, or a social media site of their choice - however, this is a risky option that we have discussed if for whatever the internet is down when it comes to presentation time.
This Interview a Viking Project is due: Tuesday, November 27th.
English: Short Stories Unit; The Sniper and Responses, A Secret for Two and Responses. Now WAAAYY overdue (but I will still accept until the end of the week) the ABC story, and the Moose and the Sparrow responses.
Social Studies: We are just about completed our Vikings Unit, with the final project being an assignment called 'Interview a Viking' where students are to use an electronic device of their own (Ipod, Smartphone, Video Cam, etc) and conduct an interview with a Viking - the criteria is a script of their interview (typed) and 8 factual questions and answers from the material they have learned over the unit. Students will present their interview via a media player from the class computer onto the projector. Students are asked to have checked their media/video file to be sure that it works on a PC format with video and audio. They can bring the file in on a jump drive, email it to me at:

Art Exploration; One of the activities that some of the Green team students chose to do instead of creating a cottonwood bark carving was creating their own Tye Dye T-shirts. Here is a photo of the final results!
Science: Here is an image of one of the many 3D models of Plant and Animal cells that are due on Monday and Tuesday of next week. They needed to create a cell labelled with the various "organelles" we are learning about, and describe each purpose.

Science- Martin: The students have a project to create a 3D model of a plant or animal cell. They still have a week to create the project, and each have a copy of the marking criteria for it.
English-Martin: The students should be finishing off the novel Airborn. I am planning to give them a series of end of novel ideas to choose from, including creating a video, writing a song, or creating a model of the island. They will be able to choose 1 of the 10-15 ideas, and have approximately 1 week to create it. I am hoping that all students will be finished reading the novel by the end of next week.
Socials-Martin: We continued our study of the Vikings with a reading assignment and questions to go with the reading. Students were also given an assessment sheet to fill out for the socials garden tool project from last month.
Kraftfoodforfamilies.ca This is a website to help support the local foodbank. The contest allows users to enter once per day, and Kraft will dontate 50 cents for each entry, with a $5000 prize awarded at the end of the December.

A HUGE thank you to all the parents and students and the entire community that came out to support the Haunted House. On a special note, Mrs. Hannah donated all the left over hot chocolate, and the amazing rice crispy treats for the team. The students decided to sell them at lunch on Thurs and Fri, and donate the proceeds to the Taylor Van Diest trail...your children are such an amazing group to think of Taylor and her family!
In English, Mr. Martin's class worked on finishing off a comparison of Kate and Matt from the novel, as well as come up with a drawing to represent their version of the Cloud Cat from the novel.
In Science, both classes should be all done their lab writeup on the onion skin. We looked at them under the microscope and added Iodine to make the nucleus stand out more.
In Math, the grade 7 boys wrote their chapter 1 exam, and we marked it in class. They should get them back on Monday.
In X-block, the survival group were lucky enough to have our local Conservation Officer, Grant Smith, come in and display skulls from various predators of the interior, and talk about ways to avoid conflicts with animals
We didn't have Socials this week due to Halloween, and other interuptions. We will be continuing our look at Vikings on Monday.
