Wednesday, January 25th

Reminders
1. Form sent home today about GP Vanier's open house tomorrow night.
2. Spelling sentences due Thursday for Rm 14
3. Spelling test #9 Friday
4. Genius Hour PLAN - due Friday!

Today in class we continued our exploration of mixed fractions, improper fractions, and ratios.  The students were able to show their understanding through a variety of methods: numbers, words, pictures, graphs.  We will be continuing this for the week.

In social today we finished our equity and equality presentations.  The students did an awesome job coming up with unique situations to represent what is fair through equity and showing how sometimes equality isn't the fairest approach.

In LA today students had to research 5 different real news articles from 2017.  They had to research 2 locals, 1 national, 1 international, and a topic of their choice.  They had to identify the headline, subheading, 5Ws 1H, count the sources/quotes, and list 3 facts.  Almost each student had a chance to share one of the articles they read and explored.

In the afternoon, Rm 14 was working on their personal folders: organizing into subjects and finding artifacts that meet their goals.  Once we have the artifacts that prove they met their goals we will upload them onto IRIS for parents by February 3rd at the latest.

Rm 15 corrected their sentences and in health explored depression through Bell Let's Talk Day today.

We hope everyone has a wacky Wednesday.
