Thursday Update

No School Friday
The weekly test was marked and sent home with most students

The first hour of the day the students were held mesmerized and amazed as the skipping group 'Synergy' performed skipping routines to promote health, healthy eating, non-smoking and and the 'jump rope for heart' fundraiser. Information sheets will be coming home next week with information about the fundraiser. All students but 5 took a skipping rope out at recess to get a head start on this fitness challenge.

After recess the students wrote and marked our weekly test.

First thing in the afternoon the students planned and wrote their 'all school write' on the topic of Celebrations in February (Chinese new year, groundhog day, or Valentines day) for 45 minutes. These writing samples are used to assess the students writing needs and allow us to teach to their needs.

Social Studies
The First nations research mini-book assigned today- the official form for this was handed out today and the students will have until next Friday to complete. The students worked on the title page and finished or not it should have gone home on the weekend. Part of this project will to have to be completed as homework for those students wishing a high mark as the two socials periods during the week will not be enough time to complete this report to high standard.

The rest of the day the students worked on catching up on missing group assignments, practiced for read for the top, or continued to work on their Socials report.

Have a great long weekend.
