Wednesday...History Project Day!

It was a cold day, and a busy one.  I hope we are closer to getting the Golden Broom award, seeing as we've been really focusing on it.  Fingers crossed.  I must say, I am looking forward to meeting all of your parents in the next couple of days.  It's going to be great.

We started this morning with an interview check-in, most of your parents are confirmed for the times I have specified and I am glad that it's all set.  Thanks to many of you who took the forms home and made sure your parents could come in.  Then we did a quick homework check, and it was time for recess! Crazy!  After recess we reviewed how to use a number line for integer subtraction with the 7s and the 8s we reviewed how to do BEDMAS using integers.  Homework7s- p.215 #9-14 8s-p.203 #24-27

We then switched gears to talking about stereotyping and took up your ideas on what that meant to us as a class.  We made a quick note and I have posted it below.  Then we re-watched the Nathan Barnett video below and talked a little about our discussion the other day.  I posted the guiding questions and you had the rest of the period to work on your journals (see picture for questions).  Due on Monday!!

After lunch, you had French and then a double period of History.  The assignments were handed out and you got in your groups to decide on which topic you would like to do.  I look forward to this project and I've booked the computer lab for us for the next 3 weeks so hopefully that will be enough.  Don't forget that you may not have access to a computer at all times so use your computers at home, bring resources in and use our library!

We ended the day with library exchange.  Thanks to D.B. & B.C. for the checking-in and the signing-out of books it went smooth today and hopefully we can continue on this path.  Okay, so tired...night all! See you tomorrow!
