Jump Rope for Heart

Jump Rope for Heart donations are due March 6th. Don't forget to register and collect donations online for bonus prizes!

ACTION!!!

A group of girls in our class had the idea that they wanted to raise money for Sick Kids! With this idea, they decided to sell ballet's for $0.25 per ballet and each ballet would go into a box. Every Friday they will randomly select 3 names to win a prize from the prize box they created. The have donated and purchased prizes that the winner's would be able to pick from. In 5 days, they have raised just over $240.00!!!! I am so amazed at what they have raised so far and can't wait to see what the next few weeks have in store for them! 

Inquiry into Language

We took up our contraction worksheets from last week. We went through the list of contractions and made sure we made any corrections to the ones we got wrong. They students had an opportunity to work on the last two contraction worksheets in their duotang. 

At the end of the day, we went over some quotation rules such as where the comma belongs before or after a dialogue tag. We completed an example together where students had to turn a general statement into a quotation by imagining what they could hear the person in that statement actually saying. While thinking of the quotation, we had to be careful that our dialogue tag matched how the person delivered the information provided.

Unit of Inquiry

Students continued to work on their summatives today. Some of us have started to complete our trials where we test our devices to see if they actually work. If they do not work well, students had to think of what they would have to do to improve their devices function.
