Hello room 75!
I hope that everyone got home safely and are now nice and warm!
Tomorrow is our last day before the winter break!
A quick reminder that the students have decided to have pajama day and they want to bring a stuffed animal. They should only bring one animal that has been ok'd by you. If they do not want to dress in their pajamas, they can choose to wear their favorite shirt, that is appropriate for school, again ok'd by you. We will be playing board games, watching a movie and having snacks in the afternoon. Students can bring snacks to share with their class if they would like as well as a board game that they would like to play with their friends.
Tomorrow is a full day and students will be dismissed at their regular time!
Just a quick note that again yesterday someone was posting inappropriate comments on the blog. We had a very good class meeting this morning and talked about how it is not ok to write mean things on the internet and that once it is out there that it is difficult to take it back. Parents, please make sure that when your child is on the computer and on the internet that you are aware of what they are doing, writing or seeing. The students know that if they see something that is innapropriate they should tell an adult. Please talk to your child about the class meeting and ask them to share with you what we discussed, what they can do if they notice something inappropriate on the internet, and what they can do if they are having a problem with someone at home or at school, instead of saying or writing mean things. On that note, I will continue to use this blog until the holidays, but I will be blocking the ability for people to make comments, but instead ask the students answer the blog questions in their homework journal. If you would like to send a comment or question, please email me directly at achandelsman@cbe.ab.ca . Thank you for your support in helping your child to become responsible and respectful digital citizens.
We shared quite a few projects today and have just one more to go tomorrow!! Mykayla shared her powerpoint of her country, Scotland! She was very proud to be presenting in front of the class and of the research she did on the internet!Riley shared his poster of his interview with his dad about China! His poster included a great deal of images of significant locations and monuments in China, such as The Great Wall of China and the Terra Cotta Soldiers (both places I have visited as a child:) And Ria was excited to share her poster of India which included artifacts of significance, a variety of pictures and a great deal of information! And Cohen was pleased when his name was chosen to share his powerpoint on England!! His project included pictures from the past as well as the present and he even included a little dance as he finished his presentation! Way to go!
Ask your child to share with you something they learned from listening to one of their friends share today!
As I said we have one more to go tomorrow (maybe two!!) We will do this tomorrow morning before we go music!!
