- Last week an important notice went home outlining another lockdown procedure. Unlike last time, students were told when it would take place, whereas for this practice round, students only know that it will take place before spring break.
- Calgary Safety Expo forms are now overdue.
- Field trip down to City Hall on Thursday, March 10th.
- ADDITIONAL FORM from the City of Calgary: Media release form. Please sign if you are okay with the possibility that your child will be recorded, photographed, etc., by the general media or City of Calgary.
Math:
- Fraction masterpieces are due on Wednesday, March 9th. Students received an entire math period today to work on their creations and will receive an additional 20 minutes tomorrow. There are about 10 students who are done their creations.
Language Arts
- Students were asked to have the following in their head for tomorrow's LA period:
- Which fairy tale will they re-write?
- What is the conflict?
- How will they begin their story - thought, action, description, or dialogue? If students have forgotten what each of these beginnings sound like, they are encouraged to check their LA notes.
Social Studies
- Students were given a heads up about their upcoming Social Studies project. Which event has been the most important to the development of democracy?
- Events will be shown in class on Wednesday. They include: Ancient Athenian democracy, the formation of the Iroquois Confederacy, the signing of the Magna Carta, New Zealand granting women the right to vote, or the Civil Rights Movement. If students know of another event that they want to research, they must speak to Ms. Cheng first
- Students will research their event, do a write-up, and then create a wampum (that contains symbols) that represent this event and its role in the development of democracy.
