Ultimate, Masks, Projects, and Reflection!

Hello Everyone,

Great work today during ULTIMATE! We had a great time out in the sun! Thank you to Ari, my past student, who volunteered to do a free outreach program with the kids. He is the co-owner of a business called Elevate Academy. They have summer ultimate camps at Champlain Community Centre nearby if anyone is interested. Ari said he will send me a flyer for class. He gave everyone wristbands, too! Thank you for your participation today.

Please finish up some math! Work on the “Show What You Know” assignments and unit tests, so you finish a minimum of two units this term for your report cards! For many of you, this means pretty much finishing the grade-level book so you are ready to move on to new material next year. If you are in grade five, I will be communicating your level and what you have finished to Mr. Gaitens. Those continuing with me, I will be doing a fall assessment and we will then figure out where to start you next year, as the math activities will be different from your first year to avoid repetition.

MASKS are coming along! Many of you did the spackle today, and hopefully will have time to sand either tomorrow or Monday. If you are still working on plaster, you are behind and need to get going to catch up, as spackle can’t be put on until all the plaster is finished. Consider simplifying your design if it is not working out the way you planned, so you can meet the time deadlines. This is fine and is part of the design process! Finishing within a certain timeframe is part of the design process, too!

REFLECTIONS — Please do the self-reflections I sent home today ON PAPER, then show it to me and we will be doing our final reflection for the E-Portfolio and Report Cards. Do not get any help at home, thank you, as this is your own personal reflection piece. You can wait and do the “I CAN” statements in class, as I have the posters for it.

LIBRARY BOOKS: All personal library books are due. If you have books for your project, then that is okay and Ms. Ho has extended the deadline for you.

Have a great day! Stay cool, wear sunscreen, get hydrated, take breaks in the shade, and wear appropriate clothing so you don’t overheat!

Ms. D
