Today was the first building session of your Makerspace Science challenge. I observed excellent focus, collaboration and discussion. Continue to be creative, ask questions and further your thinking 'outside the box'. Think about those characteristics that a creative and critical thinker has. Remember to complete a reflection each session (session 2 today) and to document your progress. Here is an example of being creative with lego. Day 2: POST 3 things that you are grateful for today. Math test gr. 7 Thursday Be sure to bring your candy gram order forms Wed., Thur. and Friday this week. Today was also the first drama workshop. It was hilarious...you were amazing actors. You could also post what your favourite activity in drama was and why!

We discussed today about how we perform better when we raise our brain's level of happiness. How can we train our brain so we can work more happily? Let's start with our three gratitudes for 21 days in a row. Day 1: POST 3 things that you are grateful for. Be sure your ' term goal ' duotang is organized and that you have all evidence, your original 'setting my goal', plan, evidence and self- assessments included. You will need all of these for fully meets on Feb. 12th. Homework: Math test gr. 7 Thursday: You will not be getting a retest this unit. Every math class I invite you to see me for help if you need it...only one or two of you have done this. Good for you!! You are looking after your learning. You have tomorrow only for review. You must see me for help if you still have confusions about the following: -adding and subtracting mixed numbers and fractions -using fractions strips and grids -solving problems Be sure to bring your candy gram order forms Wed., Thur. and Friday this week. Here are a couple of videos to watch; one that will inspire you before your Makerspace tomorrow and the other is the one that models how write poetry with meaning and humour, then to read poetry with expression. When I return your poems, you will be performing them orally for your classmates. I am sure our drama lessons will give you some additional skills as well as the examples of poetry slam I am going to show you. Yes it is that time again ...to buy that special someone a candygram. Help support the Think We fundraiser and order your candygrams Wed, Thur or Friday this week. It's only $1 and it's for a very good cause. ...AND TWIN day tomorrow:) Great fun today starting our planning for our Makerspace challenge and playing Water Polo. You guys rocked in the pool today.
I will collect the poems tomorrow and you should be working on your socials assignment as it is due Friday. We also are talking about qualities involved in critical thinking and creativity. POST one characteristic, trait or quality that you think a creative person, critical thinker, genius or inventor has. You need to read your classmates posts to avoid repeating. |
