Extreme Weather Reports and Picasso

Students worked very diligently today. Well done!

After completing their Spelling Pre-Test, students continued working on their Extreme Weather Forecast Project. I’ve broken this large project into sections and have given step-by-step instructions for each part to help students complete the project successfully. I’ve also given them an outline of what each part of the project needs to include and how each part will be marked.

Picasso Art!

This morning we watched short clips of different kinds of extreme weather and discussed their effects on people and other things. There is a section on the weather forecast where students address this topic. Students have already made their BC weather map for the project (which was due today) and today students wrote their weather forecast script using a template with blanks in it to make their project unique to their own topic (blizzard, ice storm, tornado, hurricane, thunder and lightning, drought, and rainstorm and flooding.) Students are very engrossed and interested in this project, and most finished their scripts in class today. Unfinished work is for homework, due tomorrow.

After lunch was the weekly Library book exchange, followed by a continuation of their Picasso art (which look fantastic and very Picasso-like!). We ended with Gym, where we tried a new game that students taught me – Mat Maze – for half of the gym period and then finished with Poison Ball.

Reminders:

Please return your child’s Comfort Kit in a ziplock bag, in case of an earthquake or emergency.

Wednesday is Black and Orange Day (no costumes).

Math quiz on graphing tomorrow on material already covered in class.

If you haven't brought back your decorated mini-pumpkin, you can bring it back tomorrow. The ones that came back are really creative :-)

Div. 3 – congrats on your excellent focus, quiet work times, and completion of so much work today. You all worked very well J Let’s keep up the good work!!
