No Fire Drill today Thursday!

Hello All! We had a lot of running around to do tonight, so it's a bit of a late post.  Thursdays are swimming nights...and Lucy's taking a book to school for her birthday so we had to shop for that.  Busy, Busy, Busy!

We started the morning with our Student of the Month nominations and evaluations.  Students took turns giving two positives and a "work on for next time" comment.  It went really well, and everyone paid attention and were so respectful about each others writing.  A few comments for everyone:

• Watch that you are using a variation in your transitional words
• Make sure that when you are making a point, be as detailed and as thorough as you possibly can
• Use new vocabulary properly and not just to impress others with your fancy thesaurus

Overall I was impressed with the writing and I look forward to next month's nomination papers!

For Math the grade 7's finished their presentations.  We have 2 to start tomorrow, and then we'll have a bit of review and a test on Monday!  :)

After lunch we had a quick book exchange (because we missed ours the other day because of the assembly) and a computers time.  Most of you who still had not found the blog, got set up with a link in your e-mails and I think we only have one person who is still not linked in!

Next you had Gym with Mrs. Nicholson, and you started practicing the Thriller dance for our flash mob!  Exciting stuff!  See the tutorial below!

 

You all had French, and then we practiced our dance again!  What a day!  Tomorrow's Friday! Thank goodness! See you all tomorrow!
