Updates
We filled our class Gem Jar!!!
As a reward, the class has voted to have a Pajama/Movie/Popcorn Day on Thursday. I will be providing air popped popcorn and students may bring their own special snack on this day if they wish. It must be nut free though and if they bring something to share with 1 person, they must have enough to share with everyone. If you and your child choose to send something to share with the class, please remember that, as a school, we have very strict health guidelines and we strongly encourage healthy eating (especially for morning snacks).
Teacher for a Block
Today, Mr. K.B. was teacher for a block. He led the class in a lesson on different polygons and had students share their ideas on the Smartboard. Great job Mr. K.B.!
Cinderella Story Debate
We have been looking at different versions of the story Cinderella (as it's told in different places around the world). Groups are based on the origins of the story and groups are now preparing for a debate against another country. Please stay tuned to see how the debates end up!

Weather Project Update
All of the students who have presented so far have done an amazing job! Like I have told the class, I will be away all day tomorrow (at Our Lady of Fatima) for a Kindergarten Networking session. So, we will continue our Weather Project Presentations on Tuesday. I also understand that there is a Girl's Floorball Tournament on Tuesday and a Boy's Floorball Tournament on Wednesday so I will ensure that all students involved in these have presented on the opposite day (girls on Wednesday and boys on Tuesday).
Also, since we are hosting the Floorball Tournaments, we will not be having Library this week so students may keep their books for an extra week.

Weather Project
Reminder that the Weather Project is due this Thursday and presentations will begin that day. Students are asked to have the Project Outline signed and returned to school ASAP. I will check their name off on the list and then they will be able to bring it home again that night to continue working on the project.
Just a few reminders:
1. Students have had 3 classes to work on this project using class time.
2. Students have been reminded that they must include a list of sources they have used (and Wikipedia DOES NOT COUNT!)
3. This is one of the main activities we are doing for persuasive writing so student need to remember to be PERSUASIVE. *See attached Persuasive Checklist.
