- 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 TOMORROW, March 9th.
Language Arts
- Students were given 15 minutes to brainstorm and map out their stories today. They then received a half hour to write their story beginning.
- Students are asked to ensure that they use one of the ways to start a story (i.e. thought, description, dialogue, or action). In a story beginning, writers introduce the character(s), setting, and conflict.
- If time, students are encouraged to write beyond the basic expectations. Today's basic (or minimum) expectations are: story map and beginning.
Social Studies
- The Social project will be introduced tomorrow.
- The events 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.
